Festool BP-XS 2.6 Ah Li-Ion 10.8V Battery Pack

At a Glance: Compact and lightweight 10.8V 2.6 Ah lithium-ion battery pack weighing only 200 g, specially developed for the original Festool CXS and TXS cordless drills and the MXC charger.

Keep your compact Festool CXS or TXS cordless drill ready for precision assembly work with the BP-XS 2.6 Ah Li-Ion battery pack. Specially developed for the original 10.8V CXS and TXS machines, this exceptionally compact battery weighs just 200 g and preserves the excellent balance, low weight and easy handling that make these drills so effective in tight spaces and overhead applications. Its 2.6 Ah lithium-ion capacity provides a practical combination of runtime and compact dimensions for furniture assembly, cabinet installation, interior fitting and everyday drilling and screwdriving. Because the battery fits into the handle of the compatible CXS and TXS machines, the tool remains slim and beautifully balanced rather than becoming bulky at the base. The BP-XS is designed for charging with the Festool MXC charger and is an ideal replacement or additional battery for users who continue to rely on these highly regarded compact Festool drills.

Small battery, beautifully balanced cordless performance

The BP-XS was designed around the compact character of the original Festool CXS and TXS drills. At only 0.20 kg, it keeps overall machine weight low and contributes to excellent weight distribution. This is particularly valuable when assembling furniture, working inside cabinets or driving fasteners overhead, where a larger and heavier battery can quickly become tiring.

Application

  • Powering compatible original Festool CXS cordless drills.
  • Powering compatible original Festool TXS cordless drills.
  • Furniture assembly.
  • Cabinetmaking and cabinet installation.
  • Kitchen fitting.
  • Interior installation work.
  • Drilling and screwdriving in confined spaces.
  • Overhead screwdriving.
  • Light professional drilling applications.
  • Workshop assembly tasks.
  • Mobile installation and service work.

Extra Information

  • Original CXS/TXS battery system: The BP-XS belongs to Festool&s original compact CXS and TXS 10.8V cordless platform. It should not be confused with the newer CXS/TXS 12V and 18V ranges.
  • Why only 200 g matters: A cordless drill is frequently held at arm&s length, above shoulder height or inside furniture carcasses. Saving several hundred grams at the battery can make a noticeable difference to comfort and control over a full working day.
  • Compact in-handle format: The BP-XS fits into the handle of the compatible machine rather than attaching as a large battery block beneath it. This helps maintain a narrow tool profile for difficult-to-access areas.
  • 2.6 Ah capacity: The capacity was selected to provide useful professional runtime without compromising the compact dimensions that define the original CXS and TXS platform.
  • Lithium-ion technology: Li-Ion cells offer high energy density and do not require the regular full discharge cycles associated with older rechargeable battery chemistries.
  • MXC charging system: The BP-XS must be charged using the compatible Festool MXC charger rather than chargers intended for Festool&s newer 12V or 18V slide-on battery platforms.
  • Ideal as a replacement: For owners of an original CXS or TXS that remains in regular service, a fresh BP-XS battery can restore convenient cordless runtime without replacing the complete tool system.
Check your CXS or TXS generation before ordering

Festool has produced several generations of compact CXS and TXS cordless drills. The BP-XS 2.6 Ah is intended specifically for the original 10.8V CXS and TXS models using the compact in-handle BP-XS battery. It does not fit the newer CXS 12, TXS 12, CXS 18 or TXS 18 machines. Checking the model designation on your drill before ordering is the simplest way to ensure correct compatibility.

Pro Tips

  • Before ordering a replacement battery, check the model plate on your drill. If it is marked CXS 12, TXS 12, CXS 18 or TXS 18, this is not the correct battery.
  • For an original CXS or TXS that is used regularly, keeping two BP-XS batteries allows one to charge while the other remains in service.
  • Use the Festool MXC charger designed for this battery system rather than attempting to adapt another charger.
  • Keep the battery contacts clean and dry. Dust or contamination on the contacts can interfere with reliable electrical connection.
  • Do not store the battery for prolonged periods in excessively hot locations such as a closed vehicle exposed to direct summer sunlight.
  • For long-term storage, keep the battery in a cool, dry environment away from conductive metal objects.
  • Avoid fully exhausting a lithium-ion battery unnecessarily before every charge. It can be recharged whenever convenient.
  • If runtime suddenly becomes much shorter despite a full charge, inspect the battery and charger and consider whether the battery has reached the end of its useful service life.
  • Do not continue using a battery that is swollen, cracked, leaking, unusually hot or physically damaged.
  • Protect the battery terminals during transport so screws, drill bits or other metal objects cannot bridge the contacts.

How to Use

  • Confirm that the cordless drill is an original Festool CXS or TXS designed for the 10.8V BP-XS battery.
  • Inspect the battery housing and electrical contacts for damage, dirt or contamination before use.
  • Insert the BP-XS battery fully into the compatible cordless drill until it is correctly seated and securely retained.
  • Operate the drill normally in accordance with the Festool CXS or TXS operating instructions.
  • When the battery requires charging, switch off the tool and remove the battery using the machine&s battery-release mechanism.
  • Inspect the battery and MXC charger before charging and ensure both are clean, dry and undamaged.
  • Insert the BP-XS correctly into the Festool MXC charger.
  • Allow the charger to manage the charging process automatically.
  • Remove the battery once charging is complete and either reinstall it in the compatible tool or store it in a suitable dry location.
  • Never open, dismantle or attempt to repair the lithium-ion battery pack yourself.

Safety

  • Use the battery pack only with compatible original Festool CXS and TXS cordless drills and the approved Festool MXC charger.
  • Do not attempt to use the BP-XS with CXS 12, TXS 12, CXS 18, TXS 18 or other incompatible Festool machines.
  • Never open, dismantle, puncture, crush or modify the battery pack.
  • Do not expose the battery to fire, excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight.
  • Never short-circuit the battery contacts with screws, drill bits, coins, keys or other conductive objects.
  • Protect exposed battery contacts during storage and transportation.
  • Do not use a battery pack with a cracked housing, severe impact damage, swelling, leakage, unusual odour or abnormal heat generation.
  • Keep the battery and charger dry and do not immerse them in water or other liquids.
  • Charge the battery only with the Festool MXC charger intended for the BP-XS system.
  • Do not cover the battery or charger while charging and ensure adequate ventilation around the charger.
  • Keep electrical contacts clean and free from dust, metal particles and other conductive contamination.
  • If the battery becomes unusually hot, damaged or behaves abnormally, discontinue use and follow Festool&s battery safety instructions.
  • Observe applicable regulations when transporting lithium-ion batteries, especially for commercial and air transport.
  • Keep batteries and chargers away from children and untrained users.
  • Read and follow the Festool operating, charging, transport and lithium-ion battery safety instructions before use.
