One thing I've found different on the Li-ion's is the sudden death 
In Response To: I wonder how this Li-ion freebie for the boat will work. ()
() get down into the boat, working - drives a screw one time, next time -dead. No warning. So best to have a second charged batt along if the place is hard to get to.
My first Li-ion battery was bought because I was working in a boat, the battery died and my spare was in the shop 15 miles away. Bought an Li-ion. Then realized it wouldn't work in my charger. So went looking for a charger, found one for $44.00!!! Then the young lady pointed out a deal- another drill, with charger and battery, for $49!!
Now I have three drills, two chargers, and 6 batteries 
Ah well, the joys of retail eh?

- By another drill! You'll get the battery and drill for about the same price!
- Why didn't I think of that? Oh,...but then I get another vacuum cleaner,
- Are the batteries Li-ion?
- The last few cordless I've bought have all been Li-ion.
