This new battery works fine - now we just need to see how long it will last.
This battery is more than I expected. It has a higher ammount of amp hours(2.4) than the original and lasts much longer.I am pleasantly surprised.
Nearly bought a new lithium ion drill-driver/flashlight kit but saved about $180 to rejuvinate what I thought was a hopeless situation. I have used occasionaly for 11 years, and hated to part with excellently performing drill and good flashlight. 10 year old Milwaukee 3/8" drill-driver works as well as when new.even better with the 2.4 Amp battery. Originals died because I let run on flashlight until dead thinking I was 'exersising' it for longevity.but learning too late that method will ruin the battery. I purchase this battery as a last resort; charges on the original charger and seems to last 4x longer than the original battery (1.8 Ah). Pricey but worth it.
I tried to take care of the batteries for two years, by not leaving them in the charger for more than it took to charge them up, just charging them up when I used them, not over-discharging them. But they both stopped holding a charge after less than two years. When they're new the drill works great.
Nice OEM battery at a good price. Holds a good charge and recharges fast. Fast shipping was a plus
