Finally, they have their BEST Li-Ion battery, the 4.0AH beast on
sale in a special 2 for 1 pack which also sells for $99 or half
price on the individual batteries.


You will find that the small batteries are only for very light duty
jobs. They simply don't push enough amps, and don't last very long,
too.
Seriously, invest in the big ones. You will be much happier.


Echo that.



The smaller batteries are likely just about the same as the old NiCads
from the blue series.

No matter, they will prove sufficient for accessories like the drill,
vacuum, light, etc. And I did buy the big brutes. I needed the charger
to go with them which is why I wound up spending another $70 to pick up
the charger and the reciprocating saw and two batteries.
