It's like... a handful of 18650 batteries and a metal tab. Legitimately, we should be able to make our own with a 3D printer and Amazon.

- bombcar 5y agoThey really are - at least for Milwaukee almost all the smarts are in the tool itself and not in the pack. But never buy a pack - always wait for a sale or deal and get the batteries free with tool (or tool free with batteries).
- rootusrootus 5y ago> always wait for a sale or deal and get the batteries free with tool I agree. I don't think I've ever paid full price buying a battery by itself. I just can't stomach the terrible value. I watch for a sale and pick up a new tool with the battery I want. I've got a few relatively obscure tools that way that I'd probably not bother purchasing otherwise.
- bombcar 5y agoIt's price segmentation - they know that a contractor/employee who needs a battery ASAP will pay sticker price, whereas homeowners will wait for a sale.
