Power Tool Batteries
When you’re handling heavy paving equipment, advanced lifting technology helps to keep projects on track.
But to do this with minimal interruptions, you need a power source to keep tools running. For landscapers moving materials across large domestic or commercial sites, trailing cables simply aren’t an option.
You need freedom of movement, and having a backup supply of power tool batteries on site means your momentum is never compromised by a sudden loss of suction.
Mid-lift power failures can damage materials, and as your local supplier of top-quality paving slabs, we’re here to provide the power solutions you need to handle them.

Power for Grabo lifting equipment
When materials are difficult to grip by hand, a vacuum lifter is invaluable.
The Grabo PLUS Vacuum Lifter Kit (now available at Ovation Landscaping) can lift loads of up to 170kg and is designed to grip smooth surfaces, like tiles and glass, plus rougher or porous materials, including concrete, brick and wood.
For paving installers, especially, this can make positioning large-format porcelain slabs, concrete units and natural stone much more manageable.
Choosing the right replacement battery
Power tool batteries must be chosen based on their compatibility.
Before buying, double-check the model, voltage and battery connection on your equipment. The Grabo Replacement Battery is intended for compatible 14.8V Grabo equipment - don’t assume it fits every newer or differently rated model.
You’ll also need to consider capacity. A 2.6Ah pack has sufficient runtime in a compact, removable format.
For occasional work, one battery may be enough, but regular installers may benefit more from rotating two packs. By keeping a spare battery in your toolkit, you can swap it out and avoid delays while waiting for a unit to recharge.
Looking after your battery
Taking good care of power tool batteries can improve performance. Make sure to recharge the pack with a compatible charger and allow it to cool before charging.
Don’t leave it baking in the midday sun or freezing in a van overnight - this can degrade the internal chemistry. Always store your power packs indoors in a cool, dry place when you’re done.
Always keep the metal connection terminals clean and free from the sand, cement dust, and moisture that naturally accumulate during a patio installation.

No, you must only use a charger specifically designed for your GRABO power tool batteries. Using a third-party charger can permanently damage the unit.
If storing it for more than three months, keep it in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 20°C (40°F and 70°F). Make sure it’s charged to 80–90% of its full capacity (14.4-15.6V) before putting it away.
