28 volt Lithium-Ion battery packs power the entire Milwaukee V28 System of power tools. The V28 Lithium-Ion battery pack offers up to twice the run-time of an 18V NiCd or NiMH pack and is actually lighter than 18V NiCd and NiMH packs! Lithium-Ion technology allows consistent fade-free power - meaning the first cut is as powerful as the last. V28 Lithium-Ion battery packs will never develop a memory and can be charged at any time regardless of the pack's current charge level! Press the 'fuel gauge' button and LED indicators display remaining charge left in the pack, providing an ideal way to check the state of the pack before you climb onto a roof or up a ladder. FEATURES: Fuel Gauge. Non-slip grip surface. Born-on-date and performance optimizing circuit. 2-year warranty. Eco-friendly

Customer Rating: Summary: Milwaukee V28 system Comment: I have multiple V28 tools. I am very pleased with their performance. As my old battery powered tools give up, I will replace them with Milwaukee. A hard learned lesson, do not take any Li Ion battery down to absolute zero. It harms the cells. Despite my mistake, the battery still charges, it is just quirky and the service center pronounced it dead (yes, it still works). Milwaukee's warranty on their batteries is great. The battery remembers when it was charged the first time, and your warranty counts down from there. Although Milwaukee will prorate after 2 years, it is prorated based on list price, so you are better off buying replacements from Amazon Customer Rating: Summary: Work good for short time only Comment: Hi I have the V28 and V18 they work good for a short time only. The batterys overheat. Most of time I have to pull wires and my electric drill out of the truck to finnish the job
Its good light jobs only Customer Rating: Summary: Greatest but............ Comment: This is the best battery I've used in 30 years BUT...........
Do not let it get wet!!!!
I work in the rain regularly and haven't had a problem if the battery is in a tool however I had one out of the case for a short amount of time and that was it, done, dead, gone.....
At the replacement cost you don't want to make this mistake!! Customer Rating: Summary: Great life for this V28 battery Comment: Wow, when I replace my aging cordless drill with the new Milwaukee V28 series stuff...breathless. The power, staying power and recharge times have been all impressive so far.
I especially like the battery life meter.
Only down side is the cost.
But you do get what you paid for.
So go get one now! Customer Rating: Summary: tough enough for concrete Comment: I have six batteries and three chargers that power my crew's circular saw, band saw, 2 hammer drills, sawzall, rattle gun, and roto-hammer. They have been our primary tools over the last year and a 1/2 and have done most of the concrete work on one high rise and one 120,000 gallon fish tank.
best on the market.
the battery has enough power on the skilsaw to rip a 16ft. 2x4 down the middle. the porta-band is a juice hog. have drilled as many as 130 3/16" inch holes through 3/16" tempered steel on one battery.
the lone drawback is that if the batteries are left out overnight in the cold, like in a gang box in Seattle, a full battery can go dead in minutes. but will last hours in the cold after heated up on the charger.
6 full batteries last a crew of 5 an eight hour shift of constant use with only charging a couple of them on the 1 hour charger.
