1.2V Sub C SubC 1800mAh NiCd Ni-Cd Rechargeable Battery for Power Tools Battery Pack (w/Tabs) (6 Pack)

I rebuilt a 7.2 battery pack for an Ace hardware sander which was no longer available. Works very well now!

I bought a batch of these NiCd's to rebuild a Craftsman 19 v. C3 drill battery. 11 of the old cells tested OK (1550-1650 mAh) with an automatic charge/discharge device, so I just replaced the 5 bad ones (not ideal, but should work if capacity matches) with these very reasonably priced Chinese batts with tabs, nominally 1800 mAh. Testing each, after 3 conditioning cycles, and before doing the rebuild, showed they were close to this, and well matched, 1740-1880 mAh. My only criticism: the tab material is very thin, so I doubled over the adjoining tabs as much as possible when soldering together. The rebuild went fine, using all the other original parts, fuse, thermistor, etc. Charging in Craftsman charger was normal, with no overheating. I've not drilled with the batt yet, but a slow discharge test shows normal capacity, and I will store the pack at ~50% charge, or less, to avoid crystalization. Doing this, supposedly, and in my experience does, keep NiCd cells viable for many years, whereas storing on a (non-smart) charger (as many do, and I did before studying NiCds in depth), where they stay at full charge and warm all the time, can cause failure in less than a year! Only time will tell if these HyperPS cells, treated optimally, will perform in the long haul.

Revived internal PS of my bench top Fluke Multimeter with these Sub C batteries. So far so good...

I bought these batteries to replace the 1500 mAh NiCd ones in a Swiffer Vacuum. The Swiffer is great for the kids to get up light amounts of dirt and dog fuzz from the floors on a daily basis. Not as good as a big vac but the perfect size for kids, rechargeable (learning to plug something in to make it useful the next day is a life skill), and they can see the dirt they picked up on the bottom of the wipe pad. The batteries were the right size (length and width) and had VERY convenient tabs that were easy to solder together. The tabs were also replacements for the standard male side wire connectors that the original battery pack had to attach the power. The 20% increase in power may prove detrimental to the aluminum/ plastic vac motor but it may make it stronger (*** Sorry, this previous sentence is wrong because I always associated amps with power. ***) I have not had any problems in the 3 days of use so far. The photo is of the battery pack that was replaced. The batteries look exactly as the they do in the product photos. Update on the batteries : It's Feb 2017 now and the Swiffer is going in the trash. It was not getting used much because the batteries do not hold a charge as well as the original ones did. I had fun with the repair but it was not worth it in the long run. I still think the Swiffer vac is a good idea but needs more power and to be able to hold the charge longer. I hope this info was helpful.

I replaced my old dirt devil batteries with these rechargeable 1.2v nicd batteries. The tabs made it easy to solder the connections. So far, everything is good, tested current before charging. I hope they last in this 7.2v vacuum.

Used these to replace a failing battery pack in my Dirt Devil. Took some time to solder them together.

Long tabe made it easier to install

These are great if you are making a battery pack. I didn’t realize that’s what they were for although modified them to work.

This is good quality battery and works better than original

Worked well rebuilding a battery pack for a vintage turn signal system. So far so good!

They arrived in a timely fashion. All worked as expected. Decent value for money.

It works great

Just got them but so far the two I am using in a rechargeable soldering iron work fine, and that's a challenge as the soldering iron draws about 20A when it quick heats. It's also worth noting that the tabs are very long and come insulated with heat-shrink sleeve, which is a plus.
