If I learned one thing from my old rc cars, is that most eBay lipos are just not worth it. The quality control is usaly ****, resulting in bad solder connections, and crappy wiring. They also like to over state the capacity and max amprage of their battery's. UNLESS there are good review's for a Lipo pack, save your money for the OEM. Just my 2¢

# no, I have not used those packs, so I can't say anything about that one brand.

I have one from a different seller on amazon I think I paid like $28 mine is a few months old and running strong the only difference that I have noticed is the idle charge is not as long as Milwaukee

Considering my local ace had the same battery(except genuine M12) for 49.99 I bought those instead. They still have them at that price. If shipping wasn't so bad I sure people would want me to buy them up and ship them

I gambled on a "xc" pack off eBay for $31 I think, all black. It works pretty good. I pulled the cover off and it had Samsung cells in it. I have a xc genuine I haven't used heavily so I don't know how much if any better it is.

The imitation seems to do as good of a job. It defiantly out does the regular and 2.0 batteries.

Mine was all black. It is "VERY" similar to the real pack I have



Give it a try, both are made in china

Psi I think I have had it close to a year, still works great, it in my grease gun now.

When I bought it the 4.0 either wasn't out or brand spankin new and the xc was $65-70 everywhere

I bought two legit 3.0 xc's for $60 total from jccayer. Crappy customer service but great price .

Unless you care about getting the EXACT same performance out of every battery, they probably will work fine...

BUT be warned, the board in all M18 and M12 tools knows when you use a knockoff battery, and if you ever have an issue with the tool it's likely they service center will void the warranty.
