Hi all,

It has just come to my atetntion that you can upgrade your hitachi batteries to Lithium Ion without having to change your machine as you do with Makita products.

Whats everyones views on this, is it worth it?

Unless your bateries are goosed then I would stick with what you have, you can upgrade to Lithium batteries once your existing batteries are shot at.

I have the dewalt 18v kit and the batteries last a fair long time, but I have lots of batteries and a 15m min charger and so I am never stuck
