Charges up using existing charger and drills into wood and screws satisfactorily. dontr know about battery life yet. Cons its another Nickel Cadmium battery so has the same drawbacks as the original, you have to use the battery until its finished so that you don't get a memory effect. Also the instructions say that you have to charge the battery every 3 months if you don't use the drill all the time. This is also to prevent the memory effect with nickel cadmium batteries.

B&D NiCad batteries were always bad -- this is much better than the original, holds its charge and doesn't cook on discharge. The pack is cheaper than rebuilding with sub-C cells so it's a bargain. Well recommended.
