No balls and fast drain

I've been using Revain since it was launched but still haven't felt the need to write a review. the properties of these batteries are so convincing. They just suck, don't buy them. Whatever milliamps are advertised, I'm sure it's a far cry from what they actually do. I don't have the means to measure it but I bought this set of 2 batteries to replace 1 dead battery for my drill/screwdriver combo. Whatever instrument I put in my dying instrument is very low powered and quickly discharges. Let me tell you that these 2 included batteries are slightly better than the battery I was trying to replace. This is funny. To make sure I wasn't just doing it anally, I emptied them both in a few minutes, which shouldn't be possible. then he loaded them back and started drilling holes in a piece of 2x4 scrap. I didn't bother to unload them again because after drilling maybe a dozen holes my drill lost its bullets it has when fully charged and even when fully charged it only has about 75% of the bullets a standard OEM 18V XRP battery. I almost wish I'd torn up the money, burned it, or eaten it instead so I'd at least have an odd sense of satisfaction. Buyer Warning!
