Dremel 12V3 Lithium-Ion Replacement Battery (12V 3Ah Battery - Accessory for Dremel Multifunction Tool 8260)

Spare battery for the 8260 cordless dremel, it does what it says on the box..

To start I want to make a very important point, this battery will ONLY 'physically fit' the 8260.Look at the pictures of the 2 batteries and you will see they look totally different.On the "About this item" on the Amazon web page, it states :1) "This battery pack is suitable to use with the Dremel 8200 and 8220" - WRONG , it won't fit !2) "Featuring 2Ah for increased battery capacity - WRONG, it is a larger capacity at 3Ah, 50% more !I have both the 8220 and then newer 8260, and the batteries are both physically NOT interchangeable !For me it is essential to have 'at least' one spare battery for ANY battery device I own, that way I know I won't get half way through a job, only having to stop until I recharge the battery again, maybe 2-3 hours or more, that would be intolerable to me, and really the only disadvantage over a mains powered devices which you don't need to recharge the battery, but I am slowly replacing all my mains powered devices (only 2 to go !) to battery versions, safer (no trailing mains cable with 240v) and much more convenient to use for a start.Having had a bad experience with a 3rd party battery (the 'only' 3rd party one I have ever bought - i a moment of weakness), in that it exploded and caught fire whilst being charged, but I was in the room when it happened, otherwise there would have definitely been a fire - so lesson learnt there - and now I ONLY buy the manufacturers 100% genuine battery, even if it cost more.Dremel batteries like other manufacturers produce first class batteries, and as I have 3 for my 8220, and they get lots of use, and still charge to 100 capacity, I see no reason why this battery should be any different.Price wise, at the moment (as of 26 June 2023) this battery costs £5.65 more then the 2.0Ah version, so you get 50% more capacity for just another £5.65, can't be bad !With the genuine battery you literally have the 'peace of mind, knowing that Dremel have done everything in their power (forgive the unintentional pun !) to providing you with a reliable and more importantly safe battery, for for me that is priceless.Conclusion :You get what you pay for, and I trust this battery 100%, knowing I will be safe and it will live up to my expectations in every way i.e. no dramas !I have no connection with Dremel whatsoever, except that I and a very happy customer and I speak of my own genuine experiences with products.I hope this review will be of help if you are considering buying this battery.

It’s just a battery, but a very useful battery for my Dremel, now I can have one on standby so I can carry on without having to wait while one charges up

This was my second order - DREMEL make two look-alikes but they do no cross-fit.I have found you need two batteries to make a cordless Dremel viable or you will have a lot of down-time waiting for a charge-up.

Brought this for my dremel 8220 and it does not fit it only fits the blue tooth model
