Hi all,
not quite a "spec me a 18v drill", but i'm in the market for a new one, not necessarily professional standards but want a decent one to replace my Erbauer 18v which has a 2.6mah battery, i've had it 3 years and its flippin brilliant. Helped me through building my extension, cost me £109..
However Screwfix are doing quite a few ni-cad and li-ion models quite cheap but the batteries are between 1.3-1.5mah. Surely that's too small for a 18v drill?
I get that 18v is the power (ooompph) and that the mah is how long the battery will last before needing to be recharged.
I'm thinking the battery wouldn't last long when hammer drilling. Is this why they are cheap do you think?

I want to buy a new drill as my step-son keeps borrowing the erbauer for work and he doesn't tend to look after things.
If i buy a new decent one for myself he can use that one permanently.
Any advice on the battery size then please?
