Power tool combo kits come with a charger, a few tools and a few batteries. A kit is a great way to get started in battery powered tools. They come in all sizes, from a drill and driver kit to a set of tools to outfit an entire workshop.

Once a battery platform is chosen, adding tools that accept the same batteries is convenient and cost saving. Say you already have a drill, impact driver, circular saw and light that came in a kit with a charger and two batteries. When the time comes to buy an orbital sander or tire inflator, it makes sense to buy tools that use the same batteries. It saves money and space. There’s no need to buy another battery and charger set then find a place to store them.

Most tool companies offer power tool battery chargers with extra features, like multiple battery bays, fast charging with a cooling fan or the ability to charge in a car.

Some battery platforms have several levels of battery within them. The buyer can choose to save money on a standard battery or spend more for extra performance from another model that fits the same tool.

Most battery platforms and voltage ranges have batteries of different capacities, which is measured in amp hours.

Tip: Many tool users will choose to set up a charging station and tool organizer. This can be a fun DIY project, or you can look into ready-made solutions.

Understanding Voltage Differences

Advantages of 24V Over 12V Systems

Making the right decision between 24V and 12V systems can impact the performance of your tools and appliances. Higher voltage systems often offer better efficiency and can handle more demanding applications. Additionally, 24V systems are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings, ensuring compatibility with heavier-duty equipment.

Questions for Harry

When Engel, Truckfridge, or Dometic say their refrigerators are 12-24 volt is that a nominal rating? In other words, is my Engel that's happy in a 12 volt system going to be happy in a 24 volt system that may sit at 26 volts or so?

Also, in a 24 to 12 volt converter, what are typical efficiency ratings and what is a typical draw in standby mode? Is a converter like an inverter in the sense that you really don't want it on when you are not using it?

Thanks

Dual Voltage Appliances

Most of the appliances for 24 volt and dual voltage were developed for the semi truck and marine industry, where 24 volt is typical. You will need to look at the data sheets for the specific fridge that interests you, but in general "nominal voltage" is the idea.

The very first time I helped install the wiring for a dual 12 / 24 volt fridge, it had trouble with the lower end of the nominal 12 volt range, cutting out at 12.5 volts. After that, I switched to the 24 volt pack + 13 volt converter approach.

DC Converters

DC-DC converters are very efficient, but this can vary by model and brand. Some cannot run motors, so it’s important to buy a reliable one, not the cheapest option.

In my van, I have a fixed 2x2 converter and a 1x1 sometimes for demos. I usually keep the inverters or DC converters on at all times. The minor parasitic losses do not significantly affect how I use my van. My van's electrical system is designed to properly charge the batteries, and while I don't baby them, they are highly efficient.

The MTBF of the inverters I use is around 20 years, meaning the batteries will need replacing before the inverters do.

When the weather is consistently overcast, I occasionally plug it in to charge overnight. After loaning my van to a customer who relied solely on solar power, I had to charge it more frequently, but this is typically an infrequent necessity.
