It works. [Posted on 2008-05-03]
It works. I bought the battery and charger. Have not used battery until it runs out so I don't know how long it lasts but I like the battery level indicator and button release. I did notice that I fully charged the battery before storage and saw charge level decrease by 25% after two weeks.

I just purchased the saw kit and extra battery and really put the sawzall to work dropping dead scrub oak trees of 6-10", limbing and cording them with a ten inch pruning-type blade...Lots of power and Love the low battery reader. I did have one battery heat up [hot to touch and too hot to charge; I hope I haven't killed it. This would be a worrisome concern with my porter cable or makita...we'll see... The batteries are more powerful but last much less time than my two previous tools above. I don't see this as a liability; I will soon purchase a three bay charger if I find I really need it. I have about seven hours of actual use on three batteries used on sawzall, circ saw, and drill. I do remodel work [30 years] so these puppies get real and daily use.

move over energizer bunny, Red raves start here!!!!!!! [Posted on 2008-08-20]
This is a typical Milwaukee tool. A lot of power in a small package.
I loaned this battery along with my Milwaukee impact driver to a friend of mine who built a 24 x 24 deck using composite deck boards with joists on 12" centers. He used it for 5 days on the original battery charge driving about half of the over 1200 stainless hold down screws. With the Lithium Ion battery this thing is the energizer bunny of impact drivers. I am very impressed with these batteries. It is nice to be able see how much "juice" is in them so you can top them off if you are starting a large project.

Battery 5, Milwaukee ZERO [Posted on 2008-09-04]
This is the same battery Milwaukee was selling for $54.00 3 months ago!!!
First they screw us with crappy overpriced NiCads that don't work for crap, then when they finally make a decent replacement battery they double the price on us??? I will never buy or recommend another peice of Milwaukee junk, and will replace my 15-20 Milwaukee hand tools with DeWalt as the batteries die off. SHAME ON YOU MILWAUKEE!!!!!!
