I am very pleased with the battery and charger. You will be amazed at the power you will get. I love milwaukee tools and have used many other brands. The 28v sawzall is awesome and will be adding more from the series.
the only problem i have had is the drill chuck exploded once. i have never seen or heard of any of these getting over 500 recharges while milwaukee claims 2000. but after using them for several years, they are aggravating. i have a 4 piece combo. it was repaired free of charge. i guess thats why dewalt waited almost 2 years before releasing theirs.
i lost treack a long time ago how many i have went thru. if you are lucky, you will get about a year and a half. the rplacement chuck looked improved. beware, if using holesaws, MAKE SURE you use the solid shank arbors, as the self tightening chuck will crush the hollow shank lenox very soon. i have used the kit for about 20 months. i've been using the v28 line since they came out. milwaukee has an issue with their battery.
the tool distributor has always exchanged them no questions asked, but it is very annoying to have to keep returning them. i am disappointed in the line all together. i have a dewalt 36 volt kit i use regularly and have had no problems with batteries. when i first got them, i was impressed. in fact, i bought a spare just so i can keep 2 goin all the time. so my opinion would be go with the dewalt over milwaukee. i wished they would have done test studies before releasing them.
All in all, a quality product but not cheap. I use this battery to power the Milwaukee job site radio and it does a great job. It has plenty of power and charge lasts a long time. Nothing good rarely is. Also, it charges up very fast(45 minutes) and love the built in battery strength lites.
After 8 hours, the battery is dead. I purchased this battery to go with my new V28 Milwaukee worksite radio. I was expecting this battery to power my radio (only) for at least 20 hrs before needing to be recharged. Very disappointed. WRONG.
As my old battery powered tools give up, I will replace them with Milwaukee. Milwaukee's warranty on their batteries is great. Although Milwaukee will prorate after 2 years, it is prorated based on list price, so you are better off buying replacements from Amazon I have multiple V28 tools. The battery remembers when it was charged the first time, and your warranty counts down from there.
I am very pleased with their performance. A hard learned lesson, do not take any Li Ion battery down to absolute zero. It harms the cells. Despite my mistake, the battery still charges, it is just quirky and the service center pronounced it dead (yes, it still works).
