DeWalt Tools are best on market
By T. Schulte
I own/run a low voltage company in St. Louis. We pre-wire houses for phone/TV/networking, install intercoms, security, and central vacuum systems, and home theatres as well. We presently have 20+ DeWalt 18volt cordless tools and at least that numerous batteries. We are perpetually asked by carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and competitiors how the tools hold up.

We may drill 100+ 3/4 holes on one battery each day with no problem. We may drill 10+ 2 1/4″ holes with a DeWalt self feed bit on one battery. The recip saw, the circular saw, the angle grinder, and the flashlights all work flawlessly. We even have the vacuums so we may clean up after ourselves.

Now the old batteries (all black) last regarding 1 year for regular use. We have a few new batteries (yellow top) that are a little over a year old that show no sign of decelerating down.

We have found that when it is cold they do not last as long. Also the charge needs to be in a semi warm area (not in a garage). Also, the battery needs to be drained most of the way before charging. Repeated recharging of a half dead battery dramatically reduces the life. But any battery manufacturer will tell you that.

Dewalt makes galore great stuff. I love my 18v cordless tools!
By Mike
I’m hearing a lot of complaints with regards to the batteries. Face it, the batteries are based on NiCad technology. NiCad are not known for infinite shelf-life, has a memory, and perfectly hates to be placed on a charger for extended periods of time.

Now knowing all the good and bad things regarding NiCads, these batteries are utterly no dissimilar than you will find in any other scheme using NiCads. If you don’t comprehend the why your batteries are dying off so quickly, it most likely may be explained by researching the things to do and not do to NiCads.

I’ve beat the hell out of the tools and the batteries and still manage to get an excess of 2yrs of service out of these batteries. If you open one of these up, all you find is a series of sub-C NiCad batteries in them. Count them up and just go price sub-C NiCad batteries with the same Amp-Hr rating. You will soon fine that even if you tried to replace the batteries into the existent battery case, it is still for less and posing no difficulty to buy replacements.

Rechargable batteries of any technology do NOT have infinite life. With utterly following ordinary exercise care of the battery type, you may extend this life to the theoritical max. That is hard to do on the occupation internetsite when you need to get the occupation done quick. I use the 15min. charger, which is outstanding but at a substantial cost in service life of the batteries. You are never supposed to charge the batteries while they are hot. This means if you run it down at the occupation site, you shouldn’t be placing them into a rapid charger. You will have to have sufficient spare batteries to get you busy while letting a natural battery rotation occur that insures they are cool when you charge. Slow charging extends the life of the batteries as well by getting internal temperatures lower. You ought to never leave a NiCad on a charger. You must run down the NiCad battery before charging to support keep out of the way of memory.

You may mention any battery engineering science and there are do’s and don’ts. I’ve had Lithium Ion batteries in a cell phone last less than 1yr.

It all depends on your battery usage habits. Once you perceive what you are supposed to do to extend the batteries life, you may ordinarily figure out beauteous quickly why you are not getting the life you expected.

Good solid product. I’d buy them again without hesitation. And I have yet to see any group of cordless tool manufacture’s use a ordinary battery interface so that you may use the same battery in dissimilar brands of cordless tools. So being locked-in to a peculiar cordless tool manufacturer is a given.

This is all the price you recompense for being cordless. The only way around all this is to pull out the ole 50′ extension cord.

IMHO

Beware of ToolKing
By Camera man
If you suppose to buy these new in the package, you will be disappointed. ToolKing offers cheap prices by reselling you returned merchandise (I suspect)from their marketing stores. I received my batteries used, you may tell by the brass connection points being ruffed up, and not in their introductory packages. One of the batteries takes eternally to charge and this may be why it was returned. I likewise ordered a charger (not in the orig Package) where they were nice sufficient to place a crappy ToolKing inventory sticker over the vent holes. You know, the kind that peels off flake by flake. They do not return emails or phone calls. I was ripped off, so beware!
