The new Milwaukee batterys are MUCH easier to use than the old ones. It works with all Milwaukee chargers, so you don't need a different charger for each tool. Even if your hands are tired, you no longer have to use a C-clamp to remove the battery from the tool.
It was a perfect fit for my old Milwaukee 14.4 v drill. Wish these battery packs lasted as long as the drill. It's nice to have the torque and duration back again.
The supplier at work wanted $95.00 for the same battery, Amazon was less than half that price plus free shipping. I use a 14.4 volt battery in my milwaukee caulking gun for work. This is a great price on this battery. I use it every day and it works great. Love that Amazon. The original batteries lasted about four years.
I've had my Milwaukee 14.4 drill since '03 and finally both of the batteries died. So if you are like me, check out the website and get some new batteries. I saw the advice from others about jump starting them, so I checked out the Milwaukee website, only to discover that 14.4 & 18 Volt NiCad batteries manufactured between 1999 and 2004 are being recalled and replaced for free due to an explosion risk. They say batteries manufactured after 2004 are safe.
These batteries have been wonderful right from the first use. It's like having a new tool.
