skillet Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have a Craftsman Hammer drill that I use for drilling holes. I usually carry around 5 nickel cadmium batteries in a small cooler with some hand warmers to keep them cozy. Usually by the end of the ice season they are toast. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal? I see Craftsman has a lithium ion extreme battery out. Has anyone tried these? They are really expensive, but so is buying 5 new nickel cadmium's every year. Should I go with a different brand? The Craftsman drill is reasonably priced and I sure can drill a bunch of holes real fast. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoaru99 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Dunno if you're doing something wrong. There is lot of information on the Internet about care and feeding of NiCads. Sounds like it might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
