[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 330463, member: 324"] I agree with some above. The tech will catch up. My first cordless drill was a 9.6V, Nickel-cadmium battery unit. Came with one battery. Good for about 40 screws, then was dead for a few hours while it charged. My current Milwaukee drills are 18V Lithium Ion. Next-to-no battery memory, work at about 100%, then die quickly, and they charge faster than I can use up the batteries. With two batteries, I can go all day long. Yard machines (weed wacker and leaf blower) are 40V Li-Ion, and they're beasts. Electric augers are everywhere now. If I were in the market for an auger, I wouldn't even consider gas, for the fishing I do. The vehicles may not be "there" yet, but they will be. I still will have a truck though, for pulling a camper. I've read though, that while they can be charged overnight in your garage, the quick-chargers take so much juice that only a few per city block could be supported, with our current power grid. I'd guess though, that those problems will be handled too, one day. [/QUOTE]
