Yup. I usually only have 2 batteries, for the small amount I use 'em. My 19.2v Crapsman drill (the wife gave it to me for Christmas) has one dead one, I need to decide if its worth getting another battery or go Lithium Ion in another brand.Dad bought Black and Decker Li-on tools for camp and they're actually pretty good. We've got a drill, weed wacker and a pole saw. They all use the same battery so we have 2 big ones and a small one. Lighter than my Crapsman too. -Curt

As soon as the tool starts to slow down, stab in a fresh charged battery and put the tired one on charge. Your batteries will last much longer if you do not pull them to "dead flat charge" repeatedly, and your projects will get done timely having a fresh charge battery instantly available. My experience.
