However 2 NiCd batteries are totally outdated, have a reduced capacity and do not take the load more than one or two weeks. They degrade rapidly to become unusable. To be replaced immediately by the version of 3000mAh NiMH (12Vin Battery for BOSCH PSR-2, 12.0V, 3000mAh, Ni-MH on amazon) absolutely incomparable with the original ones. Too bad we can not buy this screwdriver without batteries because they are illusion that very little time.
