I've been using these batteries for over a year without problem. They have been dropped a few times without any damage, still holds a full charge to this day.
As usual, with products of this type, the comments are from those who either LOVE it or HATE it. Usually the haters have had a problem that would have been avoided with Milwaukee quality control. I guess that any company is going to have a few dysfunctional batteries that slip through. Milwaukee has to assess whether or not it is too many. The bad comments will be posted no matter what, even if it represents .005% of the product output.In any case, by purchasing from Amazon, I have always had quick and excellent customer service if the product is bad. For that reason, I rarely allow a few bad reviews deter me from a purchase on line. It is good to know the experience, both good and bad.In any case, I have had no problem with my compact Red Lithium batteries. They last a long time compared to any NiCad battery I used in the past, and actually hold a charge a long time. I love the drill and impact driver I purchased that use these batteries. I have never had such power in such a small tool before. I no longer work in the trades, but have a long experience with portable tools, and these are amongst the best I have ever used.
Its a great battery.Its a compact battery.So its half the power of the full sized one.Knowing that im completely satisfied with its power.
First of all, the new M18 batteries are not compatible with the older 18V version tools. That being said, let's move along. This battery is just fine for working around the house or light construction. It is lighter weight than the M18XC batteries. If you want a work horse battery, step up to the M18XC batteries. By the way, Dan's an idiot. Pay no attention to his reviews. He is an overpriced DeWalt fan boy that is screwing up the ratings on Amazon.
This Li-Ion battery is a godsend. It's very light and compact and provides remarkable power. The wonderful thing about Li-Ion batteries is you get almost full power until it dies. Recharges fast and doesn't have a "memory" like other batteries so you can charge it up again before it's discharged. This battery also has a test button so you can see how much charge is left.Note, this battery only fits Milwaukee COMPACT drill/drivers and impact wrenches Milwaukee 2691-22 18-Volt Compact Drill and Impact Wrench Combo Kit. I own the drill/driver for small tasks like driving screws and drilling small holes. I use it 80% of the time. Awesome tool. The other 20% of the time I use the Milwaukee 28volt drill/driver Milwaukee 0724-24 V28 Lithium-Ion 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit. It's unbelievable for bigger tasks.
