Quality


Bigger than my old battery, charged fast and met all details as described in profile.


I'm going to take a whack myself at rebuilding the old batts this winter for spares, but these oem batts still perform the best.


5 batts that all stopped working within a couple months of one another in a drill and an impact driver.


My old, non-star batteries will fit my old and new tools but i tried my new 4 ah batteries on my older tools and they would not fit.

Price


Good value for this two-pack, as most big-box retailers sell a single battery for about $100 in stores.


As advertised, expensive but worth every penny.


Don't waste your money on cheap generic batteries.

Packaging/appearance


Although these are star compatible batteries (they have the symbol on them), they did not come with the battery level indicator.
