How long do the batteries hold a charge if your using it for drywall screws?

I've been very pleased with battery life, particularly when the drill comes with an extra. (I formerly used a Porter Cable and prior to that, a Ryobi.) I bought this drill mainly for the extra batteries since I also have a couple chain saws and a trimmer--you basically get the drill free for the price of two batteries.

Sorry. Though I've had mine for awhile I've not used it. My 14v would no longer hold a charge and I'd replaced the batteries twice. I have an 18v trimmer and thought it made sense to buy the 18v drill too.I hope it's good. Today I ordered another for my 2nd home.

I use these batteries in a baby monitor receiver that has it's own charger. It takes about an hour to recharge.

I usually charge it overnight, then turn it the opposite way in the charger until I need to use it. These batteries hold a charge a very long time. Depending on how long I use it on a given day determines if I charge it that day or not. If I use it for just a couple of screws or drill o few holes, then I wont bother charging it that day. If I use it a lot in one day then I will usually charge it overnight and then the next day turn it backwards in the charger. I know it says they won't overcharge but you don't need to put an extra charge cycle on the battery if it's not necessary. I hope this helps.

HI, The original batteries only state they are 9.6V, no Ah stated. The replacements say they are 9.6V and 1.3Ah. I just checked on a replacement battery that has been in a tool for at least 6 months and it still very well charged. This pair of batteries is as good or better that the originals.

I purchased the batteries earlier this year to replace the batteries in my smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. I put one in my alarm clock and left it unplugged for 7 days. It is still working. The last time I did that the clocked stopped after two days. I cannot give you a longer time review than 6 months.

As long as you could plug in your wall outlet... great after market batteries, I 've used them in USA

I have a powerful drill motor, jigsaw, and the vacuum. I have never had a problem with the batteries, whether running them down all the way or charging them when they began to get weak. They are 3ah batteries. I rarely use my tools long enough to run a fully charged battery completely down. I have, at times, run down a fully charged battery, however, without the negative result you are reporting. I can count on all five of my batteries. I keep the ones not connected to my tools fully charged and ready to use.

Batteries are internal ... non-removable as far as I can see. I've used both my computer and a USB wall plug to charge. Holds a charge for at least 2 months. Discharge rate is about 8 hours depending on how much volume you use.

Well I'm sure it depends on the brand of batteries. I used off brands from Menards and as most things from Menards its low quality so i got about 3 weeks out of the gun. I am not sure how much my kid used when i wasn't around so i cant give an estimated amount of hrs it will run

I use my lamp on and off for a week or two before changing batteries. If used steadily they would last somewhere from 6 to 10 hours I'm guessing before changing batteries but I'm using rechargeables. They dim steadily when the batteries loose charge. It's the best clamp lamp I've ever had and withstands heavy use. Very sturdy.

I suspect a little depends on the drilling material. I've used mine in tight places with up to #8 screws through pre-drilled shelves. I wanted a light drill for hard to get to places without the cumbersome flat type batteries. (of which I have several)

Depends on the size of the job. I use mine in automotive repair and it works very well on nuts screws and bolts and drilling some holes. The charger does it job in 15 to 30 minutes. I can usually finish the job on 1 battery and if not i haven't used up a battery without the other 1 charging fast enough to be finished charging. I hope this helps.

Hello, El Jefe, These batteries last a long time in my Rosewill 3 "D" Cell, Cree-LED Flashlight. I don't use the light all the time, but it is very bright, and the charge lasts for months. I use an Ansmann energy16 charger. I have used a pair of them in the ignition part of our kerosene heater, and they too, have lasted a long time. I have never recharged them since they begin lighting up our heater. I really like these batteries.

I always take the batteries out between uses. They will last for a number of uses. I use the energizer 377 batteries. Hope that helps,

I had the battery about 14 months. It is one of two that came with a combi drill so it gets used every other time. I am using hole saws and drills most of the time. I use the drill about 2 hours a week so I suppose the battery gets charged once a fortnight. I just stopped charging.

Yes, these will hold a charge. We usually use them as a backup for the battery that came with the camera so they usually sit for a few months before they are used and we have not had a problem.

I read somewhere you shouldn't leave the batteries and a charger. I have for tools now that run on those batteries. I use them in a commercial capacity And have for 5 years.
