Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Customer Reviews

Porter-Cable battery
My 5 year-old Porter Cable drill-driver gets lots of use. I replaced the first original battery through Amazon.com a year or so ago and was satisfied with it. So when the 2nd original battery died last month, I ordered through A.com again.

Hope this battery lasts longer than the original
Great drill but crappy batteries. I hope this replacement battery lasts longer than the original. I bought this drill because I used one like it at work and really felt it to be a good tool. Our company no longer uses these drills because the batteries don't last. The jury is still out on this replacement. Porter Cable should come up with a better battery for this quality tool. I know that 12v are almost passe but, hey...how about some corporate responsibility? and respect for the customer and need I go on about land fills and throw away thinking.

Needs more quality
This is a very good drill the battery fits in, but alas it wears out fast. Porter cable should beef up replacement batteries for customers buying them.
