what type of battery is inside ? Li-on ? ( best), Ni-Metal (not good) ? or NI-CD ( worse)

I don't know much about batteries, but it came with AA NiMH batteries. I don't think I should have to change the batteries on a brand new unit, and the troubleshooting didn't mention that it could be the problem.

Manual reads: Three (3) sealed rechargeable Ni-MH batteries should last for many years before they need to be replaced.

No, Li batteries have different voltage characteristics than Ni-Cd ones. They also do not fit physically Ni-Cd charges.

If I were to guess I would say you put it back in the charger after each use. That destroys ni-cad batteries. If you cannot replace the batteries (and then only put them back in the charger when the unit is dead or almost dead) do so, otherwise, you have just been educated on what they call ni-cad memory and why you should get lithium batteries if possible. I have had mine for about six months and I have not yet needed to recharge it and I use it almost daily.

I was looking info about old batteries for my IM600 mobile speaker...I saw your old post and I was wondering if u can help me because I'm trying to find this battery:Li-Ion Battery, part # NTA2455, 3.7 V, 2150mAhThank You!Cyn

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 had this problem too. Mine came with a CD. It is VERY important that the CD is installed because it updates the computer's ability to detect that battery.

the battery is a 7.2v 1700mah ni cd. the tracks and gears are plastic but it all works very well and if you want you can change it all to metal but i have had not one thing go wrong at all . good luck on your hunt

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.

Hi u can use either battery I use the 9096 nicad it's cheaper than lithium ion advantage to lithium ion is it will last longer before a charge but nicad is great

I used to have a 500mah ni-cd battery and switched it to this ni-mh battery and it works great. Much longer time in between charges and longer talk times. It is a tighter fit but the cover does close.

Can't judge yet. Have used for more than a year, and it's still trucking along. My experience w Li-Ions has been great.As opposed to Ni-Cads, they perform well till they're expended.

Yeah, and the Lithium is way better, i have both battery types and the nicad's don't hold a charge long and wear out so fast, lithium is the way to go

Hi James: I also thought they were lithium but they are not. They are an upgraded NiCad. The ones I bought are working great. Found out that you do NOT keep them on a charger all the time. Use until run down then recharge and remove from charger when charged. These have lasted over 2 years. The older non upgraded lasted 6 to 9 months but I kept them on the charger all the time.

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.

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.

I used the nicd battery. it worked fine.This is a pretty good unit for the price. it came with two blades, one fine-toothed for metal and one larger-toothed blade for wood. That was a happy surprise.

Mine was labeled something else, but most brand name manufacturers contract out batteries and just slap their own sticker on it. What I can tell you the battery I got was a decent one, lasted about 3-4 hrs and worked with all power states and levels both windows and Linux. Just saying your results and mileage may vary, contact a professional if you get mileage or results longer than four hours
