Very Nice [Posted on 2007-05-25]
This is a sweet battery. It is lightweight, it lasts long, and it has plenty of power. Just like they say, it goes from full power to dead right away, so you don't waste time with a tool at half power. I use the hammer drill and the impact driver all the time, and I purchased a third battery so I could keep both machines running all the time and have one battery charging, or use it in the reciprocating saw.
The one improvement they could have made was to add a power indicator like the milwaukee. However, if you use it all the time, you know how much juice the battery has left.
Best Rechargeable batteries I've ever used [Posted on 2008-06-20]
I've had lots of tools, gadgets, etc. over the years with nickel cadmium, nickel hydride, lithium, etc. Most of these worked OK but fell short in some way, usually in useable time per charge. The Hitachi Lithiums are great.. they have lots of power and are very long lasting.
Also, the (separate)charger is a nice unit with status lights, a cooling fan, and over-charge protection. You won't kill a battery by leaving it in too long.
I originally got this type battery with a Hitachi drill.. liked it so much I bought more tools of the same brand and have been pleased.
One thing though.. at a hundred bucks a pop they're quite expensive. I bought a few more here at Amazon for half that.. haven't seen them on sale in a while but maybe if you keep checking..
