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). 10 year old Milwaukee 3/8" drill-driver works as well as when new.even better with the 2.4 Amp battery. Nearly bought a new lithium ion drill-driver/flashlight kit but saved about $180 to rejuvinate what I thought was a hopeless situation. 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. Pricey but worth it. I have used occasionaly for 11 years, and hated to part with excellently performing drill and good flashlight.
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. When they're new the drill works great. But they both stopped holding a charge after less than two years.
Nice OEM battery at a good price. Fast shipping was a plus Holds a good charge and recharges fast.
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.
