Description of Porter Cable 8623 12-Volt 2.0 Amp Hour NiCd Slide Style Battery
Get more power and run time from this re-designed battery pack by Porter-Cable. By eliminating the "tower cell" that resides in the post of clip-on batteries, this slide-on battery keeps all cells on an even playing field. This prevents premature failure of the battery due to one cell taking more abuse from charging and discharging than the others. An added benefit is that the slide-on style is much easier to remove and replace than typical clip-on style batteries. The 2 amp hour capacity provides more power and longer run time. It fits Porter-Cable's 9866 12-volt drill and 869 flashlight.Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter Cable 8623 12-Volt 2.0 Amp Hour NiCd Slide Style Battery
Customer Review: Five stars for function, negative five stars for price.
Summary: 5 Stars
Kind of hard to justify spending $65 on a replacement battery when a new drill/driver doesn't cost much more, but then again, who wants to throw out a perfectly good tool on account of a battery? Manufacturers know we face this dilemma, and thus can get away with selling you $3 worth of NiCad cells in a plastic shell for $65. It should be a crime. Then again, the battery does work, and restored the tool to former glory. Indeed, a dilemma.
