I think the price on these batteries needs to come down a little bit,I really like my drill ,it does a great job. I could put about 100.00 dollars with the price of the battery and buy a brand new drill and get two new batteries and a charger with it.

Last time I bought a cheapo replacement battery from TopCell. The battery started losing its charge very quickly after a short time (MUCH shorter than the original Porter Cable battery that came with my drill). So this time I went back to PC. It's been giving reliable performance since then.
Conclusion is that PC quality is worth the extra few bucks.
These factory batteries certainly fall into the catagory of "you get what you pay for"! I have made many mistakes trying to save money only to end up spending more in the end that if I would have just paid for what was required. Especially batteries. You cannot go wrong with this product!
This purchase was made to replace old batteries that are beginning to show their age by requiring charging more often and losing power when used all day on my carpentry job. The new batteries will stay all day and still not need a charge.Porter Cable 8723 14.4-Volt 2.0 Amp Hour NiCad Slide Style Battery
Battery works great. Needed charging as do most new batteries. Packaging was inadequate: box very large for size of battery, air bags were flat, battery loose inside outer box. Plastic cover around battery protected it from damage. Very expensive battery.'
