Very Good Product
I have ordered several of these batteries over a period of years. They are strong and long lasting. A very good product at a very low price. If you are buying a battery powered item then it would be to a your advantage to get an item that uses this battery if possible.

Make sure to put the charger on a timer
If you are like me, you're having to replace your battery on the Powersmith driver faster than you hoped. Well, part of the reason is probably that the cheap charger doesn't turn off and the battery cooks in it's own heat. Here's my solution after having gone through two of these batteries (one replaced under warranty (thanks NT!): Hook up one of those cheap dial light timers and remove all the pins except for one of the red ones that turns it off. When you plug in your battery, rotate the dial to 5 hours before the timer will turn off and manually turn the timer on. Don't leave the little "start" pin in the timer or else if you forget to take it out it will run again for 5 hours the next day. Bingo, auto off charger, full charge and no cookin!

18v Replacement Battery
I purchased this battery for a backup when the original battery runs down in the middle of a job. It came already charged and fit my drill as described and holds a charge for quite a long time. I am very pleased with the battery and the fast shipping. The price was well below other batteries I have had to replace.
Thanks Northern Tool.

Spare 18 V battery for Powersmith 3/8" VSR drill
It's always a good idea to have a spare battery on hand for your projects. So I purchased one of these to go with my Powersmith cordless drill. It is identical to the OEM battery and is a reasonable value.
