  • Awesome Power & Runtime
The SKIL PWRCORE 12 4.0Ah 12V battery delivers excellent runtime in a compact size. If you're running a Skil PWRCore 12 Brushless 12V 5-1/2" Circular Saw, or the PWRCore 12 Compact Brushless Reciprocating Saw, these are a must have to not eat the smaller 2.0Ah batteries. The built-in two way USB-C charging is a great bonus feature, and I've used it to charge my phone while out and about several times. The battery gauge makes it easy to monitor charge levels. Solid performance and a great upgrade for any SKIL 12V setup. ... show more

  • Nice to have
Love these batteries. I use the usb function constantly to charge phone, ipad, charge outdoor camera right where they are mounted. They charge quickly and run long time unless using a tool that requires large amount of power.

  • Awesome!
Great upgrade from 2Ah batteries. Used them in drills, recip saws, lights and fans to get longer run time out of them.

  • Great gift for a friend.
This was mostly a gift for a friend. I use it too so i can put some of my experience into this review. For the small tools like the skillsaw and the Light stand, it does make a difference. The price is decent but a little too high for a 12v battery but i guess its because of the USB C advantage. Wish you guys can make a 6 ah. 4 ah capacity is good but in the “okay” range. Also, the charge throttle of 3 amps is sort of slow, any future ideas for a faster charger? ... show more

  • Great battery
Very good battery, I needed it to use my jigsaw because because my 2 ah battery keeps dying too quickly. This one did a better job. Is so nice that I can also use it as a power bank to charge your phone in case of an outage.
