  • Great battery and charger kit!
Style: 12V 2.0Ah Battery_USB-C w/Charger
Works great. A little more than I'd have like to have paid as I but it's the original brand, so on par for the price. I got the drill and impact drill combo and needed more batteries since the combo only came with one. Now, I can use both drills at the same time while charging an extra battery and just rotate as I need. The fact that you do not necessarily need a specialized charger and that these have USB-C ports makes it easy to forego the included charger and plug it into any charger(s) you already use at home. Recommended. ... show more

  • I'm not running out of battery any time soon.
Style: 12V 2.0Ah Battery_USB-C w/Charger
I love that these are USB-C charged, it can be used to power other USB devices, but mostly that they are reliable, and that this was a waaaayyyyy better price than elsewhere.

  • Awesome
Style: 12V 2.0Ah Battery_USB-C w/Charger
One thing that SKIL has that I like is, you can charge these batteries with a solar panel if you absolutely needed too. This is going to be my standard on any battery operated tool I get from now on.

  • The essential accessory for Skil tools
Style: 12V 4.0Ah Battery_USB-C
The media could not be loaded. I purchased this 4Ah battery to complement a Skil tool kit I gave my husband for Christmas. The original kit came with a 2Ah battery, and while it worked fine for quick tasks, he constantly complained that the charge ran out too quickly on longer projects. The change has been incredible! With this new 4Ah battery, the tool not only lasts twice as long, but it also feels a bit more consistent in constant use. Now he can finish his jobs without having to take mandatory breaks to recharge. What we liked most: Autonomy: Ideal for medium and large DIY projects. Compatibility: Fits perfectly in the original tool and charger. Performance: You can tell it's a quality brand and the power is consistent. Without a doubt, it was an excellent investment. If you have 2Ah tools and feel like you're falling short, this 4Ah one works great. Highly recommended! ... show more

This battery is great. Has good run time on my drill and I also just keep it in my workbag to charge my phone on the go. Can even charge my laptop.
