Product Review

The Hitachi 18V 3.0Ah lithium ion slide-type battery 2-pack (339336/BSL1830-2) produces a steady level of power throughout the charge. These batteries deliver 18 volts with a capacity of 3.0Ah each. The voltage directly corresponds to the power output of a cordless tool, and the amp hour refers to how long the battery can last before recharging. This battery charges in 45 to 90 minutes depending on the Hitachi charger (UC18YKSL or UC18YFSL). The lithium ion battery has the best power-to-weight ratio; being half the weight of nickel cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), yet the battery life is three times as long. The Hitachi 339336/BSL1830-2 18V 3.0Ah lithium ion battery 2-pack is compatible with all Hitachi 18V lithium ion slide-type cordless tools and is warranted to the original purchaser to be free from manufacturer defect in materials and workmanship for a period of 2-years from the original purchase date.
