hemdale Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi guys, As we all know, cordless tools are great. Powerful and some batteries seem to last forever but I'm guessing the weak link is always the cells inside the batteries. The batteries will always be as good as its cells. I'm guessing that reputable cells manufacturers such as Panasonic and Sanyo would probably manufacture dedicated cells for most of the powertools brands. Do you guys have any input on what type / quality cells brands are using ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Well, I have no personal knowledge or experience about the batteries used in the packs, but I took a gander and pulled apart a bad V28 milwaukee pack and it uses Molicell batteries. Which are no longer available and I decided at that point to just toss the project..... You looking at rebuilding your packs? And some info i dug up.... Good luck!

BMack37 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 From what I have seen from battery pack teardowns, Dewalt 20v uses Panasonic/Sanyo and Milwaukee m18/m12 uses Samsung. *I have not done a teardown myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Milwaukee uses Samsung from what I've seen and read (I've disassembled some of my XC packs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemdale Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 The thing with batteries is that they involve a major recycling process. I sometimes think a corded tool is more eco friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Oh there's not really an argument to be made as far as that's concerned, an extension cord doesn't need to be recycled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
