Kawasaki battery,

This review is from: Kawasaki 840045 Black 19.2-Volt 1-1/3-Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery (Tools & Home Improvement)
Perfect replacement for original battery # 690071 or 691235 but the literature does not say so until you get the battery with its packaging. It fits and works on tool set # 840055 which includes drill # 691234 and other tools. I will never again buy Craftsman tools because Sears deliberately changes their batteries and chargers so that they are never backwards compatible, and you have to buy new batteries at more than the cost of the original tool set. Batteries are the weakest link on portable tools, so buy with battery replacement in mind-- get them early before they are discontinued.

Watch out!,

Make sure you order this ONLY for the exact drill model number...even if the pic looks like it will work. In addition to not working for my husband's drill, the seller's customer service was extremely poor/ non-existant.

Watch out - AUTO BARN substitutes items without notice,
December 28, 2008 Richard Lane "Price Police" (New Orleans) - See all my reviews

The referenced (and advertised) item is NOT the item that was shipped. Without notice of backorder status or requested permission from AUTO BARN to ship alternative item number, a different item #691240 was sent. After inquiry with the shipper, they admitted that the sent item was a replacement for the other 'back-ordered' item. Research on the shipped item revealed that there was a factory recall for the shipped item 691240 due to 'possible fire hazard'. Via AUTO BARN, I requested a statement from the mfg.'r that the shipped item was equivolent to that ordered and that there was no fire hazard either. The shipper AUTO BARN has refused to respond or acknowledge my concerns. I have requested a refund or replacement for the correct ordered item. So far, no response. Reference AUTO BARN Order # 53345.
