Like all technology, the rechargeable drill has been advanced through the years and most of this has to do with the battery. The first cordless drill used by most contractors came with the 7.2v nickel-cadmium battery pack. The nickel-cadmium battery can take 12 hours to fully charge up and can has only about 90 minutes of work time. They are usually a bit heavy and unfortunately their charge is lost relatively quickly. Today, we have the best-selling 18V lithium-ion battery. It has a nice light weight, recharges in a rapid 15 minutes, will provide four times the charge to work ratio and can hold a complete charge for up to two years. The lithium-ion does have a few drawbacks also; they do need to be replaced faster than the nickel-cadmium, they are a bit more costly and their function decreases in cold temperatures.
