5.0 out of 5 stars pros&cons, June 12, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

the batteries and the2867 drills are good working tools i own 2 of these drills and 4 of the skil 180bat 18v . But the chargers are not good at all. my 2 chargers only lasted 6 months. i exspect more than that from a $50.00 toolw/batteries costing over $40.00 each. i have been serching for a new charger for 2months now with no luck. the drills have good tourque and the batteries last a good length between charges. but the problem with chargers and access to buy replacements makes this almost a useless tool

Another dead battery. Wall charger. Extended charge. One star for my mistake.

From other reviewer:
The one thing I don't think is that great about this product has to do with charging, specifically overcharging. I learned this one the hard way. I had the basic charger, and it worked just fine. At some point I had a battery in the charger for an extended period of time--I just plain forgot--and it went maybe a week or so plugged in. Well, that killed both the battery and the charger, an expensive set to replace. I learned about this only after I went online to find out what had happened. Was that in the owner's manual? Maybe. I can't tell you as I've lost it, so maybe it's my own fault. But buyer/user beware: charge your battery and then unplug both the charger from the wall and the battery from the charger right away, or you'll be buying yourself a new set of both. One star for inherent charging conditions not being observed. And PRICE$$$$ Not Again!

Bought this battery with the 'new and improved' charger. Worked for about 5 hours with the recommended 3 hour charge, but died when I left it on the charger for a week. WEAK is all I can say. Now I have 2 dead batteries and 2 battery killing chargers.
