 Very Short Life and Too Expensive November 15, 2009
M. Lee
I own a lot of 18V DeWalt batteries(NICd) and tools (about 7 drills, 3 or 4 reciprocating saws, rotary laser level, 3 cordless nail guns, etc.). Most of them are dead. Some of them are less than 2 years. All of DeWalt 18V batteries discharge very quickly by themselves without using (less than a week after fully charged). I understand none of rechargeable batteries last forever and there is a life span. But comparing to other brands, DeWalt batteries are the most expensive and last less. Last year I bought a 18v combo set (drill, circular saw & flash light w/2 batteries) of Porter Cable at Lowes. I think it was less than $100.00. It has been a year. I don't take this one to the job site because all of my cordless tools are DeWalt. It has been in the garage for more than a year. I have not recharged battery yet after fully charged on the date of purchase. I have been using it occasionally, but it is still very powerful almost same as the fully charged on the first day. It is very hard for me to change other brands of cordless because I already have too many 18v DeWalt. I agree with most of negative reviews. Before I place this review, I have thought a lot whether I am wrong or I expect too much. However, DeWalt batteries are too expensive and don't last long comparing to other brands. I use these tools almost every day as a professional carpenter. Early this year I bought a combo set of Lithium 18V DeWalt, drill & impact. It is still working good same as new one. I wish to buy another DeWalt 18v lithium battery only, but too expensive. It is better to buy a full set with batteries.
I wish there are some generic brands of these batteries or DeWalt makes its price lower.
be aware of the dates on these batteries November 15, 2009

Two good batteries for a good price.The NiCad's have always worked well for what I use them for so I can't see paying twice as much for the lithium ion batteries.
Fantastic Value! October 12, 2009

I bought this 2-pack of batteries to replace a pair that had worn out and no longer held a charge. I had searched my local stores, but with prices as high as $100 per battery, they were awfully expensive. Amazon.com was the cheapest place to find them. The shipping was prompt and they arrived in perfect condition. I will be buying this product again, if I need it.
Great value October 8, 2009
