28-volt Lithium-Ion battery packs power the entire Milwaukee M28 System of power tools. The V28 Lithium-Ion battery pack offers up to twice the run-time of an 18-volt NiCd or NiMH pack and is actually lighter than 18-volt NiCd and NiMH packs! Lithium-Ion technology allows consistent fade-free power meaning the first cut is as powerful as the last. V28 Lithium-Ion battery packs will never develop a memory and can be charged at any time regardless of the pack's current charge level! Press the fuel gauge' button and LED indicators display remaining charge left in the pack, providing an ideal way to check the state of the pack before you climb onto a roof or up a ladder.

These batteries are the best available today. As for the knucklehead claiming the battery was discharged, this is how they are supposed to be when they come. They have a memory chip in them that starts the 5 year warranty on their first charge. I have no ideal who the other reviewer is but they have an agenda other then telling the truth imho.

ive had the milwaukee v28 since its debut. i can say that these battereis are by far the best thing since sliced bread. the m28 batteries last so much longer than the old v28 batteries with more power to the tool. all these reviews about how they wont last as long because they have lower amp hour is rediculous. those reviews are by people who dont have a clue what they speak of and obviously have never used the battery. i have 8 of these batteries and dont regret buying not a single one. im not going to spend that kind of money on something thats garbage. ive been a contractor for 15 years and can say milwaukee m28 is the best ive seen.

I have had my v28 set now for a while and have used my tools for a variety of tasks. I am in the plumbing trade so most applications have been in relation to that. I own almost all of the v28 line of tools so these batteries have run my v28 radio, hammer drill, band saw, sawzall, angle drill, rotary hammer, circular saw, and impact wrench. I have never had a problem with the batteries at all in any of the tools I have used. They have gone from tool to tool with no problems whatsoever and in fact outperformed any cordless tool I have ever used. I can't speak for everyone but these battery driven tools have never disappointed me.

Currently using 16 of these batteries and continue to be amazed at their performance, tool power, and duration of use for single charges. V28 power is just that --power and that's why I buy tools. Now 3-4 years later and all the tools are still great, but all the batteries are dead and milwaukee says sorry......maybe the m28 series will come through......?

Milwaukee finaly made a battery that matches their tools.The milwaukee tools were always strong, durable, and very dependable. I have owned the 18 volt combo set for years and love the tools, the batteries are a nother story, they were very weak in power they would not last for the smallest jobs (I own 4-18 volt batteries)for the set. But this new 24 volt lithium battery finaly matches the tool, I have 3-batteries for the kit and the power is amazing. the batteries hold a charge for the longest time.They will last the day. Milwaukee did a great job with this battery.

This lithium ion battery pack met my expectations, accepted and appears to hold the charge. I shall be able to write a more meaningful review after a year or so of use. It is certainly back compatible with the Milwaukee drill I use it with which I believe I bought approximately ten years ago.

I have six batteries and three chargers that power my crew's circular saw, band saw, 2 hammer drills, sawzall, rattle gun, and roto-hammer. They have been our primary tools over the last year and a 1/2 and have done most of the concrete work on one high rise and one 120,000 gallon fish tank.

best on the market.

the battery has enough power on the skilsaw to rip a 16ft. 2x4 down the middle. the porta-band is a juice hog. have drilled as many as 130 3/16" inch holes through 3/16" tempered steel on one battery.

the lone drawback is that if the batteries are left out overnight in the cold, like in a gang box in Seattle, a full battery can go dead in minutes. but will last hours in the cold after heated up on the charger.

6 full batteries last a crew of 5 an eight hour shift of constant use with only charging a couple of them on the 1 hour charger.

the man hours saved are outrageous.

Don't buy the off brand. I did and had to return it before I bought this one. The off brand does not have the capacity of this one and it way lighter which tells you something of the battery capacity.

The best battery and tools on the market! This battery is powerful and charges quickly. Holds a charge for a long time seeing I use these sporadically and not a professional contractor.
Great battery for great tools!!!!

Wow, when I replace my aging cordless drill with the new Milwaukee V28 series stuff...breathless. The power, staying power and recharge times have been all impressive so far.
I especially like the battery life meter.

Only down side is the cost.
But you do get what you paid for.
So go get one now!
