Festool BP 18 Li 3,1 C 18V Compact Battery Pack
At a Glance: Compact and exceptionally light 18V 3.1Ah lithium-ion battery pack for comfortable drilling, screwdriving and professional assembly work.
The Festool BP 18 Li 3,1 C battery pack is the lightweight power source developed for professional assembly work where excellent handling is just as important as dependable cordless performance. Its compact 3.1Ah lithium-ion design provides sufficient power and runtime for compatible Festool cordless drills, impact drivers and drywall screwdrivers without adding the bulk of a high-capacity battery. At approximately 400 grams, it helps create a beautifully balanced tool that is easier to control during repetitive fastening, overhead drilling and work in confined spaces. An integrated LED capacity indicator allows the available charge to be checked quickly, while the surrounding soft-grip frame protects the battery and machine, reduces the risk of marking finished surfaces and helps the fitted tool remain stable when placed on an inclined surface.
The BP 18 Li 3,1 C is particularly effective when paired with the efficient brushless EC-TEC motors used in compatible Festool cordless tools. It is an excellent choice for installers, cabinetmakers, shopfitters, drywall contractors and maintenance professionals who want to reduce tool weight without giving up the convenience of the Festool 18V system.
Product Highlights
- Compact 3.1Ah design: Provides a practical balance of power, runtime and portability for less energy-intensive applications.
- Exceptionally lightweight: Helps reduce the overall weight of the fitted tool for improved handling and lower operator fatigue.
- Ideal for assembly work: Developed especially for professional drilling, screwdriving and fastening tasks.
- Improved overhead control: The low weight makes the battery ideal for repetitive work above shoulder height.
- LED capacity indicator: Displays the remaining battery charge so that power availability can be checked before starting work.
- Protective soft-grip frame: Protects the battery, machine and workpiece while providing secure support on sloping surfaces.
- Festool 18V system: Compatible with a wide selection of Festool 18V tools, subject to the applicable machine exclusions.
- Festool Service support: Covered by Festool Service according to the applicable regional conditions and registration requirements.
Product Compatibility

- Festool TID 18: Compatible with the Festool TID 18 cordless impact driver for suitable fastening tasks.
- Festool DWC 18: Suitable for repetitive screwdriving with compatible Festool DWC 18 drywall screwdrivers.
- Additional 18V tools: Suitable for compatible Festool 18V tools where the power requirements fall within the compact battery&s intended operating range.
- Compatible chargers: Suitable for approved Festool lithium-ion chargers such as the TCL 6 and SCA 8.
- Not compatible with TSC 55: The original manufacturer compatibility excludes the Festool TSC 55 cordless plunge-cut saw.
- Not compatible with CXS or TXS: Earlier CXS and TXS cordless drills use a different battery format and cannot accept this battery pack.
- Not compatible with Ergo cordless sanders: Do not use with the RTSC 400, DTSC 400 or ETSC 125, which require the corresponding Ergo battery pack.
- Newer high-demand tools: Before using this earlier compact battery with a newer Festool 18V machine, confirm compatibility in the machine&s current battery recommendation guide.
Extra Information
- The BP 18 Li 3,1 C is optimised for compact handling and less energy-intensive work rather than high-output sawing or other demanding applications.
- This is the original Festool compact 3.1Ah battery pack with order number 201789.
- The current machine&s operating instructions and Festool battery recommendation should always be checked before fitting this battery to a newer 18V tool.
- The integrated capacity indicator allows the battery charge to be checked before moving into an overhead or difficult-to-access working position.
- Actual runtime depends on the tool, accessory, material, machine setting, working load and environmental conditions.
- The charger is not included and must be purchased separately if a compatible Festool charger is not already available.
- This model should not be confused with the similarly named Ergo battery packs used by selected Festool cordless sanders.
- Protect the battery terminals during storage and transport to prevent accidental contact with conductive objects.
Pro Tips
- Use this compact battery for installation work where reduced tool weight provides a greater advantage than extended runtime.
- Pair it with a Festool C 18, T 18+3, TID 18 or DWC 18 for comfortable drilling and fastening.
- Keep a second charged battery available to maintain productivity while the first battery is being recharged.
- Check the capacity indicator before climbing a ladder or entering a difficult-to-access work area.
- Move to an approved higher-output Festool battery if the tool begins stopping repeatedly under demanding loads.
- Allow a hot battery pack to cool before placing it on the charger.
- Keep the battery rails and electrical contacts clean and dry for reliable connection to the tool and charger.
- For long-term storage, keep the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
How to Use
- Check the cordless tool&s operating instructions to confirm compatibility with the BP 18 Li 3,1 C battery pack.
- Inspect the battery housing, guide rails, contacts and release mechanism for dirt or damage.
- Ensure that the cordless tool is switched off before fitting the battery.
- Align the battery with the tool&s battery rails and slide it firmly into position until the locking mechanism engages.
- Check the capacity indicator to confirm that sufficient charge is available for the intended task.
- Operate the tool according to its instruction manual and avoid forcing it through an application that exceeds the battery&s intended output.
- To remove the battery, switch off the tool, press the release controls and slide the battery out without twisting or forcing it.
- Insert the battery into an approved Festool charger and confirm that it is seated correctly.
- Observe the charger&s status indicator and allow the charging process to complete.
