The 1st screw went in fine, but battery emitted bad odour. I've installed it, fully charged, into DeWalt DC940 cordless drill. Used 8x120mm screws into pine. This battery, after minor modification (small tab needs to be cut off using knife), can be used in Dewalt 12V tool range. I've tried to screw another one, but on halfway, drill stopped, and battery emitted much more bad odour (something rotten-flesh like, never seens such odour from battery).That's ALL.One fully charged battery managed to screw only one and half screw into wood.So, if you going to buy this, remember that you can only use it for light duty applications, and never put it into any Dewalt XRP series tools. This battery is very, very weak. This battery costs more than 2 times less than DeWalt battery, so you may think "Why should I pay for brand name, if I can get same for less money." And you will be wrong. While declared capacity is 1.2ah, the real capacity is around 0.7ah I guess.
You just can't beat that. The Black & Decker PS130 Fire Storm 12-volt NiCad Battery was at a good price,plus free shiping and handling.
It was exactly what I needed and works great. I bought this battery for a drill that I had had for some time.
I am very pleased with the renewed power of my drill and the lasting charge time of this battery.
Richard I was pleased with the unit. After one charge and using a few times, it still remains fully operational in my B&D Drill/Driver.
