Does this use a lithium ion battery or NImh?

I don't know. But would also be interested. Has your battery stopped working?

Try going into menu then into tools (shown by a little wrench). Scroll down until you come to battery type. Select the NIMH. That should work.

No, It uses any of the 18volt li-ion batts. from makita used for drills and stuff.

No. This is for charging Lithium Ion batteries which are 3.75 Volts. your niMH batteries are 1.25 Volts.

I was going to guess that one had a NiMH battery and the other a cheaper NiCad, but both ads say NiMH, so I have no clue. They both have 4 star ratings. Maybe I overpaid! If you find out, please let me know!

Yes, you can use either Lithium Ion or Ni-Cd batteries. You will need to be sure to use either a Lithium Ion or Multi Chemistry battery charger however.

This is what it says online when I Google your question: NiMH is an improved version of rechargeable batteries, they don't have the memory problem that NiCd's do. The only thing is you will need a special battery charger for them. Since the phone is the charger, then probably not.

The battery is Universal Voltage: 100 to 240V~50/60Hz built into the unit. As a user I don't know whether it's ni-cad or lithium ion and haven't owned it long enough to have experienced an issues with the battery. I DO know it works well and I am thrilled with the performance of the unit.

Yes this ESC will work with nimh batteries. It does have a voltage cut off for lipos but also can be programmed to use with nimh batteries. The castle link cord (http://www.amazon.com/Castle-Creations-Link-Programming-Adapter/dp/B000BOG8V0/ref=pd_sim_sbs_t_1?ie=UTF8&refRID;=0X1CYTSV5MHVJGNHSQHV) makes it really easy to adjust the settings on the ESC on your computer.

Yes. It uses Lithium Ion 1.5aH rechargeable batteries. Dewalt number DCB201

It will work with NiMH I think but you need a castle link to turn the low voltage cut off. Might want to think about getting some lipo batteries. You won't regret the decision.

For the Skil 288 Cordless 18v Drill/Driver you can use the following battery models: Skil SB18C Skil SB18A Both are Ni-Cad, that is my experience. I do not know if it will work with Li-Ion

Hi, Yes, I use Energizer NIMH (nickel metal hydride) rechargable batteries for daily use, Energizer Lithium for long term storage (emergency kit).

Don't know about using it with Lithium Ion but I do use minds with high capacity 2400 mAh rechargable batteries.

It depends on the battery type. Ni-Cd batteries will develop "memory" so if you leave it on the charger all the time between small uses and not full uses, it will eventually ruin your battery. NiMH and Li-Ion batteries don't suffer from this effect. http://www.all-battery.com/batterytechnicals.aspxhttp://www.ebay.com/gds/What-is-the-difference-between-NiCad-NiMH-and-Lithium-/10000000002033731/g.html

It comes with a NiMH battery and charges through the USB when plugged into your computer

If you look at Joel Miller's review, he has a video where he takes the product apart (and voids his warranty). He points out the battery is a Ni-Metal Hydride. Hope that helps your decision.
