These batteries don't last long enough [Posted on 2006-12-28]
I'm not sure what I expect, but I think these batteries don't last long enough. Once charged they don't stay charged long enough, and they wear out and stop holding a charge before I think they should. Maybe it's because I'm a very light user, but I'll put a charged battery in a screwdriver, remove and install a few screws (no drilling), then leave the battery in. I'll come back some days later and the battery will be dead. So, I need a sceond backup battery to use when the first one dies. I'll switch batteries, put the first one on charge, and repeat the process a couple weeks later when I need it again. After repeating this process for couple years, it's time to dispose of the batteries and buy more. Is it unreasonable to be unhappy if I need to spend $40 every couple years to have a cordless electric screwdriver?

charged up quickly and lasted for a good length of time, great replacement for original batteries

Right Idea, Wrong material to make it out of [Posted on 2007-07-15]
As a machinist for 20 years and a tool nut I liked the Idea of the VersaPak tools. The light weight Drill was nice to use at first then it started eating batteries. Now the Drill is just collecting dust on the shelf and I have a drawer full of worthless batteries that wont take a charge. They worked OK for the first 3 or 4 times after that, nothing.
When a pair of the batteries cost almost as much as the Drill did it's just not worth it. For the same price as the Black & Decker VersaPak Drill and extra batteries I got a 17 v. Drill from Cummins Tools that has kept a charge for almost a year with occasional use.

Don't just buy one [Posted on 2007-11-17]
Never have to wait for charging batteries. Get a few extra and get to work!
