If your drill is NiCd i counsel you stick to NiCd or NiMh batteries. And when you actually need a Li-ion battery for whateva reason, go buy a Li-ion drill. Cells & batteries have to be separated to stop quick-circuiting and packaged in strong boxes.

Lithium-ion batteries exceeding eight grams but no more than 25 grams may be carried in carry-on baggage if individually protected to stop brief circuits and are restricted to two spare batteries per person. Very low profile - batteries resembling the profile of a bank card are possible.

Especially in colder climate the batteries just shut down - the battery overload safety simply cuts in. I get this downside with the smaller 1,5 Ah batteries however not with the 3ah ones. Could the batteries of been broken by being kept cold - they reside in my van so might be -5 at night time ?.

Transportation restrictions - cargo of larger quantities could also be subject to regulatory management. This restriction doesn't apply to private carry-on batteries. Subject to growing older, even when not in use - storage in a cool place at forty% charge reduces the growing older effect.

A few companies together with Sony and JVC have made their genuine batteries with micro chips inside and the digicam is designed to function correctly only when the chip is present within the battery. Hi, i’ve purchase a not authentic sony li-ion battery for my digicam. the life of battery ran in low or excessive temperature depend on the energetic material and discharging rate.
