Will this unit run effectively on the standard 19.2 volt rechargeable battery? My batteries do not state lithium, ni-cad or C3 on them.

With the standar battery you can get 10 good minutes of power to cut grass....That's it.

I am disappointed with the trimmer. It doesn't seem to generate enough head speed to cut anything more than fine grass effectively. Your battery should be fine but there are better trimmers out there.

I purchased this charger for my son, as his old charger had died. He said that it did charge both his old ni-cad batteries, along with the newer lithium batteries. It also has a battery life indicator, that shows whether the battery is capable of being recharged or not. Hope this helps. Keith

Yes, that's the longer run-time version of the Ni-Cd battery. I used to use those and they work in the vac. I've switched everything over to the Li-ion batteries and couldn't be happier. My only complaint is that my Dewalt site laser and sawzall won't accept the new Li batteries. Who dropped the ball on that?

Aren't lithium rechargeable 3.7V? changing from 3X1.2V (3.6V) cells to 3X3.7V(11.1V) cells might let the smoke out of the light. Mine came with 1500ma cells which last all night (winter, 12 hours)

No, this drill uses the M18 series batteries, which are lithium-ion. THe one you posted is the old NiCD stuff. Once you switch to Lithium you'll never look back.

Yes. The unit takes 2 AA batteries. You can use rechargeable NiCad or standard alkaline. And there is a setting in the tool menu to tell it which type you're using to get the best usage. I'm not sorry in the least that I got mine. Go for it!

18v are ni-cad batteries20v are lithium-ion ,longer run time,more power,only about 1.5 lb lighter

You want to go from the Ni-Cd battery to the lithium battery (both 18V). I am unsure if the Lithium battery fits your drill, but if it does (and it should), then you will also need the specific Li-ion battery charger also. As a rule, Ni-Cd battery chargers are not interchangeable with LI-ion ones. The Li-ion battery charges up faster and has less of a memory effect than the Ni-Cd battery - it just works better.

I guess I misunderstood what Jack was asking. This is the model I am using with our Earthwise weed trimmer, which is not NiCd, just Lithium Ion. Sorry about that and I'm glad you caught that.

It specifies Lithium rechargeable batteries. I am having trouble finding rechargeable batteries that are lithium...most are Ni-MH. Can these still be used? (Sorry for the ignorance...I have never used rechargeable batteries!)

For the Skil 288 Cordless 18v Drill/Driver you can use the following battery models:Skil SB18CSkil SB18ABoth are Ni-Cad, that is my experience.I do not know if it will work with Li-Ion

The C-3 replaced my 19.2 v battery with no problems. It also charges without any trouble, but I might suggest you visityour nearest Sears store and check with them. They often carry the batteries also and it will save you the shipping cost.

I do not believe so--while these were bought for my husband by me, he made a big deal about being sure to get the lithium charger and said the Ni-Cd wouldn't work as his Ridgid tools took the lithium batteries. Probably right since I bought the wrong chargers for my black and decker lawn tools and it was for the wrong battery type. I hope this helps!

Designed only for NiCad and NiMH. I haven't and won't try lithium or other batteries.

I just ordered mine and am looking forward to giving it a try... I can't seem to find much info on this mower. I'm curious, is the battery a lithium ion or ni cad?

No, chargers for the Ni-Cad batteries will not work for Lithium batteries unless they are the 'duel chemistry' chargers, which will work for both battery types.

Yes, any Dewalt 18v battery pack from 1996 to present will work in almost all 18v Dewalt devices. There are about 7 devices that will not take the lithium ion battery but they are fairly obscure. I use both Lithium ion and ni-cd packs in my drills and impact as well my saw and other devices.
