Love the power and stamina of my old Porter-Cable 19.2 outfit, but the batteries are old, too. This replacement is the correct factory unit and arrived promptly in new condition, original packaging, as advertised.Thanks.
This pack was for a replacement of the original pack that came with the tool when bought new. No other pack will work with this tool as far as I know. The old pack had many hours of use and many recharges. Apparently the old pack was used up. I ordered the new pack through Amazon because it was convenient and was bought at a reasonable price. Great product with plenty of power.
I Own A Porter Cable 19.2 Volt R9913 With 2 R9992 NiCad Battery Packs.This Is By Far One Of The Best. I Have Built 2 Decks That I Could Put 300 2 Inch Screws In Without A Problem. This Drill Has Been Used On The Weekends For 9 Years Without A Problem. As Kick A** A Drill It's Been, Without A Problem, A Hundred Bucks For A New Battery Is Enough To Switch To Another Brand Who Does Not Feel Like Taking Advantage Of Me After The Fact.
I'm very disappointed about the battery performance. I have been using my drill for 3 years and I already changed the motor one time. Now, I needed new batteries but the price is way too much. Bye-bye Portal cable, I'll never buy your tools again.
I'm sure they don't give a full "new-life" service any longer, but I recall ni-cad batteries should begin to give up in three years or so (I'm not an expert). Oh, yeah.
I unscrewed the battery's cover and discovered the orange wire had broken at the contact. My 8823 batteries started having charging problems and one acted as though the contacts to the charger were bad (intermittent).
Before you drop 100 bucks, check this first. Resoldering this wire (probably part of the battery internal charge/overtemp sensor) repaired the charging problem.
This was a problem on BOTH my batteries so it points to a design weakness. I've owned these batteries for five years of good service, so I think I should rate them a 5.
I've had good luck with Porter Cable products--both battery and corded (routers, sanders, drills).
