Customer Reviews
I finally got my old Porter Cable cordless drill back up and running again. I had the original batteries that came with it that would never hold a charge since they were so old. I can finally use my drill again without it dying on me.
This replacement battery is perfect! Since this battery is no longer offered by the company, I was very pleased to find it at Battery Mart. The battery was shipped on time as projected. I am glad to report our "work horse" drill is back in action for its 20th plus year!!!! Thank you!
This is the second time I have purchased, from Battery Mart, two replacement batteries for a Porter Cable hammer drill I have had for 20 years. I like the drill too much to just put the cost toward a new drill and more up-to-date batteries. These are the exact same batteries I bought from Battery Mart several years ago. Other replacement batteries before these did not last long. I will use Battery Mart for all my power cell needs.
The battery took a little longer than I expected, due to weather conditions. The battery was very weak and it took several tries to get it to charge. It works great in my old drill.
Replaced my original equipment batteries which I had rebuilt a few times by a battery and light company. Those took too long and were expensive. Last time they only lasted 8 months. Original equipment batteries are no longer available.
This replacement from Battery Mart fits perfectly, and the charge seems to be lasting longer than the originals. Time will tell if they last in the long term, because I have only had them for a few weeks, but they look very promising.
Reasonably priced. Functionally equal.
Very happy with the outcome are the batteries that I purchased ,gave them a fast charge, and working very well in my 14 volt Porter-Cable drill ,thank you.I would recommend purchasing again from battery mart
