Yard Force batteries: checking compatibility

The same brand or voltage does not confirm that a battery is suitable for a tool. Before extending your Yard Force equipment, note the machine, battery and charger references. Compare all three with the models approved in their manuals.

Distinguish the platforms

VITA 4 V, iFlex 12 V, CR20 and GR40 identify separate families. They do not promise interchangeability across all generations. Check VITA and CR20 tools model by model. For existing GR40 equipment, consult the reference and matching batteries and chargers.

Understand 20 V and 2 × 20 V

A 2 × 20 V configuration uses two 20 V batteries together, according to the appliance's instructions. It does not use a single GR40 40 V battery. Follow the manufacturer-approved references, capacities and combination; do not construct a setup merely by adding voltages.

Compare voltage, capacity and charging

Voltage in volts identifies an electrical characteristic. Capacity in amp-hours helps compare approved batteries of the same voltage, but does not give a fixed working time. A charger's current in amps is another measurement. Charging time depends on the battery and the conditions stated in the manual.

Check what is supplied

A product sold on its own may require a charger or extra battery. Robot mowers, power stations and USB clothing also have their own requirements: do not automatically assign a CR20 tool battery to them. Check the exact offer contents and accessory references. If a name remains ambiguous, send the references to support before connection.
