 Needs special Charger Mar 04, 2000
By Thomas A Atter
I purchased 2 of these high powered batteries for my 5 year old guns and received them just find out that I need a special charger which I cant find anywhere unless I buy an entirely new gun. It wood be nice if this info was posted on the site and not just on the box when I received it. The batteries were shipped in a timely fashion and in perfect shape. But only good for a one-time use since I cant charge them with my 15-min charger.

 Panasonic EY9200B 12-Volt Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Jun 06, 2000
By Steve Price
I have 3 of these batteries. They work great! A charge lasts about 30-50% longer than NiCads. These are an absolute MUST for the wood and metal saws. As previously mentioned, you MUST have the new Universal Charger.

 Can't get there from here Sep 27, 2001
It seems Panasonic has made it impossible to upgrade to NMH batteries unless you buy a whole new outfit. It took a real study in 'logic' to work this out. All combinations lead to a new system. I refuse to be be 'faked out' so I cut the black case off of my 12 volt nickle cads with a band saw (just deep enough to slip the case off)and hooked up a set of leads with alligator clips which can connect to a 12 volt auto battery or similiar.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!! Jul 31, 2003
By T. Young
I previously owned a Panasonic battery drill with the ni-cad batteries, which I truly loved. When the time came to replace the batteries (They lasted about 7 years) I decided to upgrade to a new drill ( also a Panasonic) with the new ni-mh batteries, what a mistake! The newer ni-mh batteries boasted a 50% longer run time which they did not deliver, and also a life-cycle of approximately 1200 charge-dicharge cycles. After less than 50 charges following the manfacturers instructions, these batteries no longer will hold a charge. I have owned this drill for about 2.5 years and use it only around the house, but that is the same way my old drill was used. Of course Panasonic won't do anything about it because it's beyond warranty, but at around $... a crack these batteries should last more than 25-50 charges. Maybe these batteries last longer when used heavily in construction , but for a homeowners use these are TRASH! My advice, save your money, buy the ni-cads.

I would love to order this battery, but ............... Nov 20, 2000
By John Chatham
OK, now we know that this new battery needs a special charger. I was going to order a new 12 volt drill with the two ni-cad batteries and charger, AND ONE OF THESE NEW FANCY BATTERIES, assuming that the new charger will be the latest charger and will handle the old batteries and the new batteries. Now I don't know what to do. Panasonic did this once before. They came out with an "Iron Man" battery and you had to send in your charger and they would update the old charger to handle the "Iron Man" batteries. We did these one at a time, as we have three of the 3/8" drills and three of the chargers. Today I will just order the new drill with the two ni-cads and the charger, read the book to see if it can handle the nickle-metal hydride batteries. Panasonic should have offered a deal for the new 12 volt drills where you could pay extra and get two metal-hydride batteries instead of the two ni-cads for $40.00 more. I would have gone for that.
