why does no one ever say what the battery capacity is (amp hours)? It would be nice to know what sort of power you are paying for. They eventually mention way down the page that this drill can also be used with a "fat pack" battery that has 2.6 Ah, but...

I just took the battery out and it says 1.3Ah and 23.4 Wh on the side. Assuming that is 1.3 Amp Hours and 23.4 Watt Hours. The battery lasts for a couple hours of pretty steady usage so seems about right. I bought two batteries, I charge one while I use the other... just swap them out and never run out of juice. Great drill by the way. I also bought the skill saw that takes the same battery. Both are great tools.

Absolutely! It is better with the Lithium Ion battery. More power, lasts longer! I love this drill! Have fun!

I'm sorry I can not help you much.I purchased this drill for my Father.He wanted it for both purposes if he needed it.However I'm not sure if he ever used it for either?It's a nice looking heavy feeling drill.I showed him how it worked and it worked is all I can say.For the price and for what he may or may not need,it's a great purchase.

I believe what you are asking is if it is 1.5 (ah) amp hour is it ok to replace with a 3.0 amp hour battery. Yes,as long as they are the same voltage. Amp hour only relates to how long the tool will run on a full charge.

I talked to my husband about this battery . he really like it and very little to useful with this kind of drill battery to keep charge or recharge. Speaking of warranty is really good lifetime.

Drill is backwards compatible with 18 volt nicad batteries. It came with 2 lower capacity (not XRP) Li-ion DeWalt batteries. The charger works for NiCad and Li-Ion batteries. I like the lower weight of the drill and Li-ion battery, BUT I HATE the Li-Ion battery because it cuts off without warning and you cannot squeeze any more out until you recharge. They do it because they don't want a Li_ion battery to blow up with somebody so basically they have protective circuitry built in to monitor each battery cell. But it sucks when you are up on a ladder and have no warning that the battery will give out on the next screw.

Hello Kristin, We can't speak for other sellers of this product, but if you purchase from Battery Supersite, we ship the higher capacity version of this battery which IS sealed (non-spillable) lead acid and 100% rechargeable. It has the same 12v output as the 12v 4.0ah, but is rated at a higher capacity. The capacity is listed as the "ah" rating, or amp hour rating. The amp hour rating is simply just the capacity of the battery and how much reserve power it can store. It's like the gas tank in a car; the larger the gas tank, the longer it can run. We always search the market for high quality batteries that will have a higher capacity but keep the output the same. The important thing to check is the voltage as the voltage should always be the same (ie. a 12v cannot be used where a 6 volt was used). A good example of this is the 4ah and 4.5ah battery. Nearly every battery manufacturer has updated this size battery to the 5 amp hour battery which will provide up to 20% longer runtime than the previous capacity battery. Feel free to contact us with any questions. Battery Supersite "The Amazon Battery Experts"

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.

I have 10+ m18 tools. And about 8 batteries and 2 compact 1.5ah batteries. SO TRUST ME. the compact battery will work....u just get more runtime than the 3.0 ah battery comapred to the 1.5 ah compact battery

When you say you have an electric impact wrench needing 7 amps, is that 7 amps at 120V? If so (as I'm assuming) then the inverter in this will NOT work because it is rated for 200 watts continuous (~2 amps max). I doubt any power-pack like this will be able to handle that load, so to run such off a battery/inverter system will require you to put together a 1000 watt inverter and car-size battery (I'd get one rated at least 60 amp-hour if you'll be pulling ~60 amps at 12V which is the same as 6 amps at 120V). If it just needed 7 amps at 12V, this battery could run such for over an hour, but that sounds unrealistic for such a tool.

Very good drill, 2 batteries, 4amp hour (Bigger capacity than other kits).There is another similar kit out there, part number contains "L2" instead of "M2", but it has smaller battery.

What model battery comes with the LCC420? The product description for the LCC420 combo says it comes with a "4.0 Amp hour lithium battery" rather than a "2.0 Amp hour lithium battery" -- is that incorrect? Is there another 4.0 Amp hour battery than the LB2X4020-OPE ???

I use mine on a weed eater and get nearly twice the amount of time out of my 2.6 amp. Is that worth the money? For me I charge 3 batteries so that I can work for about 1.25 hours...with some breaks.

It's possible, but definitely not recommended. I would really discourage you from trying it, if you are not using an AC (electric) drill. A drill powered by a battery pack would not be able to sustain the 550 rpm for any length of time. Ultimately I would suggest borrowing or purchasing a drill that meets the requirements. On Amazon I found a Black & Decker (DR260B) for under $20.00 with peak power at 1500 rpm's. If you think you will ever use the drill for other things, I would suggest looking for a better drill. You can spend $50 - $60 on Amazon and get a really nice drill for the average home owner. I am not a professional nor do I claim to be an expert; however I am a hobbyist and am not new to tools. That being said, these are a few brands "I" have had good luck with in the past: DeWalt, Bosch, Makita, Milwaukee, Hitachi, Jet... There are many others but the few that I have listed here make models that are available in the price range I quoted above. I'm sorry if I have provided more than you needed, I just wanted to make sure you knew you had affordable options. Thanks for your patience and good luck

I have to admit that I bought the batteries for a tool for size. Forgot to check capacity but it looks like at least 1800 mah. Things have happened which has kept me from using the batteries. Sorry can't be more help. Price is right though

I think it is a better drill overall than the 18 volt Dewalt drill that I own. The 18 volt is very heavy compared to the 20 volt drill. Make sure you get 20V batteries with the power meter feature on the back of the battery. It lets you see the charge by pushing a button, really nice feature.

Your power DRILL should have come with a charger. If not you will have get Blacker & Decker charger for this battery { LBXR12 12V MAX} I have 2 battery's and this is battery's that hold a great charge. This is one great battery. I hope this helped you out. DAN
