CEENR Universal Power Tool Battery review – The one battery system for all major power tool brands

REVIEW – I have a mixture of tools most being from Milwaukee, and some others from Craftsman, Worx, and Bosch. Most of the Milwaukee tools which are my go-to tools are M12 which is 12 volts, and they are more than adequate for most of the DIY work that I do, However, there are a few select tools that I would prefer to have the M18 version, which is 18~20 volts. Tool batteries are expensive, and after investing a ton of money into 12-volt Milwaukee batteries, I don’t want to do the same to accommodate the M18 versions. I wonder if there is an existing economical solution that will allow me to use the M18 versions without investing another ton of money into M18 batteries. Enter the CEENR Universal Power Tool Battery.

Tech specs

Design and features

The CEENR Universal Power Tool Battery is a battery that features USB-C PD and recharging and a USB-A port for accessory charging. It uses adapters to match various brands of tools. There is also an LED charge level indicator.

Assembly, Installation, Setup

The first task was to charge the CEENR Battery. It has 4 LEDs that indicate the charge level. (likely 25% per LED)

Performance

The CEENR Universal Power Tool Battery is simple and easy to use. Once charged, I decided to test it with a few of the brands that matched the adapters that CEENR had included. The process is straightforward. the adapter connects to the tool just like the battery from that brand, and then the CEENR battery attaches to the adapter. Yes!! It is that simple, and if you attach the relevant adapter to the tool, then you can just swap the battery from one brand of tool to another. The charge does last a long time and the battery recharges quickly. I just recharged the battery after a couple of days of medium-duty use once the LED indicator shower 2 lights which meant it was around 50%. I did this because I use the CEENR battery almost every day. I do not use the USB-A accessory port but I did test it and it works. I frequently use this battery to power my Milwaukee M18 Impact Driver. It is well-built and a great product overall. Here are some photos showing the steps to connect the battery to a tool:
