Received these the other day. My initial impression is that these are going to be excellent replacements to the original NiCad. As someone with multiple DeWalt drills using the 18v XRP NiCad battery, I was looking for a cost effective way to continue using these tools which range from a hammer drill to a right angle drill. Lately, I was lucky to get through an hour of work utilizing all 7 of the original batteries!I toyed with the idea of replacing the cells myself, but really didn't want to go through the hassle - especially as I was considering upgrading to Lithium Ion. Thankfully, I came across these, which to be honest, seemed a little too good to be true as the price of two was close to $20 cheaper than OEM NiCad ones. I have not run these much yet, so time will tell.Upon receiving them, I put them on the original charger to "top them off". The battery indicator on one stopped blinking and showed as full. The other continued to blink indefinitely. However, pulled it off the charger and it showed as full.I put one on my hammer drill and the drill felt brand new again. Nice and powerful!Pros:- 1:1 replacement of original 18v XRP NiCad battery- Use of original charger!- Lighter!- Powerful!- Power indicator!- Price!Cons:None so far.I’ll be on the look out for any capacity issues as others have noted. Certainly, they’ll be better than the current NiCad ones.I hope.If they perform as well as they appear to, I will plan to purchase a few more.
