I saw an online review where the complaint was that the battery soon wore down after only short use. Others were quite positive.
What's your experience with the battery?
I have had the unit for a few years now and had no problems. I read the reviews before buying it and Home Depot is pretty good about standing behind their products - at least here in Canada. Nevertheless, there have been no worries.
I have used the silver and black Ryobi batteries in the unit and none have unexpectedly gone flat. The black batteries suck, but they have worked. I do recommend the silver lithium.
It is so convenient - use it on the CB, the bicycles, and the cars. It is fast and accurate to within one pound pressure. I just adjust and put an extra pound in my program setting. The wife even uses it on her car. No complaints. A great purchase.
