Great battery!
Would RecommendI have several of the starter kits, I really like the core 4.0 battery. Good power and light weight for my grinder/drill/freak/rotary hammer. I use the 8.0 on my circular 7-1/4 saw.

This charger blinks and then the blinking slows down. You think it’s charged and go to grab the battery and it blinks making you wonder how much longer it really has.

Charger confusion

Charger Blew Up On First Use
About an hour into charging the battery straight out of the box we heard a loud pop and smoke started streaming out of the charger. Returning to the store to day for an exchange, hopefully we have better luck with the second charger.
