Hercules 20V 5Ah Battery 2-Pack vs Hercules 20V 12Ah Battery

Buy the 12Ah single battery if you need long runtime from one pack and already own Hercules 20V tools. Buy the 5Ah two-pack if you want two lighter packs to spread across tools or keep one charging while the other works. Both are UL-listed 20V lithium-ion packs in the same Hercules platform, so tool compatibility is identical. The 12Ah carries more than double the capacity of one 5Ah pack in a body that weighs about the same, but the two-pack gives you redundancy and easier handling.

• Choose the Hercules 5Ah two-pack if you want two lighter batteries to rotate between tools or share across a kit.
• Choose the Hercules 12Ah if you want maximum runtime from a single pack for high-draw tools like saws and grinders.
