Aftermarket power tool batteries were designed to work with your Porter Cable battery charger.

Aftermarket batteries are designed to original manufacturer’s specifications, and will meet or exceed original Porter Cable batteries and not void manufacturer’s warranty.

How can I maximize the performance of my Porter Cable battery?

• Understanding your Porter cable Battery .
• Prolong the battery life by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
• Keep the contacts of your Porter Cable Battery as clean as possible. Clean contacts will assure a good charge.
• Do not leave the battery in a discharged state for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. .
• If you don't plan on using your Porter Cable battery for a month or more, take it out of the power tool, store it in a cool place away from heat.
• Get more power and run time from this re-designed battery pack. By eliminating the "tower cell" that resides in the post of clip-on batteries, this slide-on battery keeps all cells on an even playing field. This prevents premature failure of the battery due to one cell taking more abuse from charging and discharging than the others. An added benefit is that the slide-on style is much easier to remove and replace than typical clip-on style batteries. The 2.0 amp hour capacity provides more power and longer run time. It fits Porter-Cable BN200V12 12-volt drill, 869 flashlight. Remember to recycle your old NiCad battery packs.
