Awesome Battery, January 14, 2009

This review is from: Milwaukee 48-11-1815 M18 Compact RED LITHIUM 18-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Tool Battery (Tools & Home Improvement)

This Li-Ion battery is a godsend. It's very light and compact and provides remarkable power. The wonderful thing about Li-Ion batteries is you get almost full power until it dies. Recharges fast and doesn't have a "memory" like other batteries so you can charge it up again before it's discharged. This battery also has a test button so you can see how much charge is left.

I own the drill/driver for small tasks like driving screws and drilling small holes. I use it 80% of the time. Awesome tool.

Great battery for home or light work use, April 10, 2009

First of all, the new M18 batteries are not compatible with the older 18V version tools. That being said, let's move along. This battery is just fine for working around the house or light construction. It is lighter weight than the M18XC batteries. If you want a work horse battery, step up to the M18XC batteries. By the way, Dan's an idiot. Pay no attention to his reviews. He is an overpriced DeWalt fan boy that is screwing up the ratings on Amazon.
