So far the battery is as good as the original.The seller replaced the model i oredered with what i assume is a later generation model number. Some of the printed labeling is missing but the embossed labels appear to be genuine Panasonic. But the fit and function are just fine.
Great battery, My original battery died after 5 years which is 3 or 4 years longer than most other batteries I've owned or used while working in the sheet metal business. This battery holds its charge longer than any battery I've owned.
Great price. Good company to deal with. Significantly lower so I was skeptical but went ahead with the purchase; glad I did. Delivery of the battery wa prompt and it arrived in good shape.
I was lucky that nothing broke when the pack fell to the shower floor I was installing. Check your to see if you can get new packs. My batteries were withinn that period. The charge time is quick too.Resently I had the clips fail that hold the battery to the drill. These batteries last a long time.
They will be replaced at no charge. I have had mine for over a year and abuse them regularly. I contacted Panasonic today to complain. All this makes Panasonic tools that much better. They told me that there is a recall on several style batteries made durning a certain time period.
I hung approximately 50 Sheets of rock requiring about 30 screws each. So for you contractors out there take it from me. So if you plan on purchancing an additional battery step up and spend the extra few dollars I own many power tools and when i purchased this Panasonic Drill I also purchased the 15.6 volts battery. No more lengthy charges, switching back and forth from battery to battery will no longer be an issue.
I do home improvement jobs for many coworkers of mine and the first time I did a sheet rocking job it worked wonders. This battery held its power as well as the duration of time which I utilized it. Your talking about screwing in 1500 screws in a matter of hours. This battery my be high priced but I will tell you from personal use you get what you pay for.
