4.0 out of 5 stars 18 volts for 18 months, August 14, 2005

This review is from: Milwaukee 48-11-2232 Value Pack 18-Volt 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Slide Style Battery, 2 Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

A Home Improvement contractor for 25 years, I've had the pleasure of working with quality tools built by Milwaukee. Just about 18 months ago I had purchased the 18volt cordless tool kit with saw, hatchet sawzall, drill, and flashlight. Again, I have been loving these tools to no end. Batteries wear out, but thought Milwaukee would last longer. These are fairly expensive to keep replacing.....As long as the tools will do their job, I will continue to provide them with new batteries. These tools are superior. And so, after 18 months, both batteries needed to be replaced. Fortunately, Amazon.com sells the 2 pack for less than 2 individual...it's a great deal.

The Milwaukee batteries are bad, but no worse than Dewalt and the rest. Bosch with their new "Bluecore" may be better. For those of us who already own Milwaukee or others, there is still an answer. Two companies that I know of, Batteries Plus, and VoltMan, will rebuild these with batteries that last much longer. The replacement cells have a slightly lower amp hour rating, may well be underrated as they seem to have at least all the torq of the originals. I am sure there are more other companies who can rebuild the battery packs as well, but these are the 2 I know of. They take your battery pack and rebuild it using all new cells. Voltman is less expensive, but Batteries Plus may have a store in your area so they may be more convenient for you...

Update:

While wildly more expensive, you can change over to Lithium Ion batteries which hold a charge for a year, and unlike Ni Cads do not die if not charged monthly. For home users who only use their tools every few months, they are the way to go. Amazon has them listed as:

Milwaukee 48-11-1833 V18 Multi-Pack 18-Volt and 28-Volt Lithium-Ion Charger with 2 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Batteries Combo Pack

The charger must be purchased as Ni Cad chargers will damage Lithium Ion batteries. The charger in this set can be used to charge Lithium Ion and Ni Cad batteries though.
