Can I use the Li-Ion battery on this?

I am not sure but dewalt has a new XRP battery that lasts a whole lot longer than my origional 18v. it may be a Li-ion

Absolutely! It is better with the Lithium Ion battery. More power, lasts longer! I love this drill! Have fun!

you should be able to, although a stick or butterfly battery would probably fit better

Sorry, the answer is NO because: The housing base of NiCad battery insert into the drill tool is different style with the Lithium Ion battery.

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries but they won't last as long as the lithium

No! Once it is fully charged the Lithium Ion battery has a one year shelf life. So it will stay charged for you until you need it.

Yes, you can even use your charging cord that came with it and plug it into the battery.

no, this one can't use Lithium. Because Battery box is design for standard battery, not for Lithium battery

No - you need to buy a charger that's compatible with the new batteries. The clue is in the color ! The old chargers will not charge the Li-ion batteries properly and in fact risk overcharging them and burning them out. The new chargers are infinitely better (with an overcharging protection circuit), and actually have revived my old Ni-Cd batteries when their original chargers wouldn't charge them anymore. I have a P-117 that I bought on eBay and have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

I have no idea. I have used it now for over a year: it plugs directly in to the light socket, works exactly as described, and is powered by the electricity it's plugged in to... so (a) I am not sure what sort of Li-ion battery it may use, (b) not sure that it matters, and (c) the product has worked very well for me in very cold weather, very hot weather, and in continuous usage for over a year.

Sorry, we have only used AA rechargeables in this unit. Not sure if Li-ion would work in this.

Sure you can. I use it at 18v and get about 4.5hrs out of mine. Great little battery.

For the Skil 288 Cordless 18v Drill/Driver you can use the following battery models:Skil SB18CSkil SB18ABoth are Ni-Cad, that is my experience.I do not know if it will work with Li-Ion

I doubt it very much. The Li-On batteries are the real item. The drill itself is less important. The batteries cost more than the drill.

To be honest I don't understand your question. Yes you can use a rechargeable battery

You can but it ruins the battery. The battery will become dependent on the constant charge and will weaken.

Not sure. If the battery fits in will work of course. Lithium ion is very popular but to my knowledge has a useable life span of 2 to 3 years. Also my understanding is a lithium ion battery cannot be fully discharged there needs to be a chip or device which warns against total discharge.
