Extra Information
- FES200181 is an older Festool order number for the BP 18 Li 5.2 AS battery pack.
- The designation AS identifies AIRSTREAM cooling compatibility; it does not indicate Bluetooth connectivity.
- For full AIRSTREAM cooling performance, use a compatible Festool AIRSTREAM charger.
- The battery fits many Festool 18V cordless tools but is not universally compatible with every Festool cordless product.
- It is not intended for the compact CXS and TXS tool systems or the ETSC 125, RTSC 400 and DTSC 400 cordless sanders, which use different battery formats.
- Festool later introduced newer 5.0Ah battery generations as successors to the older 5.2Ah range.
- Check the exact tool and charger compatibility before ordering, particularly for newer machines with specific battery-performance requirements.
Pro Tips
- Rotate between two battery packs during demanding work so one can cool and charge while the other powers the tool.
- Use an AIRSTREAM charger to gain the full cooling benefit built into this battery.
- Allow a battery exposed to extreme heat or cold to reach a suitable temperature before charging.
- Keep the battery terminals and cooling openings clean, dry and free from conductive dust.
- For extended storage, remove the battery from the tool and keep it partially charged in a cool, dry location.
- Press the charge-status button before starting a critical task to ensure sufficient capacity is available.
How to Use
- Inspect the battery housing, terminals and locking mechanism before use.
- Confirm that the battery is compatible with the intended Festool 18V tool or charger.
