Almost $10/AH, if you sell the charger it hits it. These deals are rare ime. You may get lucky on one of these with a free tool for $200 but it needs to be one of them that you are needing.

It's not a good deal, anymore. There are people selling new 2 packs of these batteries on EBay for around 120. You don't even need to mess with the charger.

The fact of the matter is, lithium ion batteries have dropped in value over the last couple years. We need better deals than this, now.

Yeah you also risk the chance or getting fakes. I bought some and they were fake. Unless you're buying a big box dealer, you're risking it.

Then you return them under Item Not As Described.. Neg the seller.. report them to eBay and Milwaukee.

Negative comment "purchased on X date. Received on X date. Upon inspection, the item appears to be counterfeit. Reported to Ebay and Milwaukee. Returned for refund. See attached pictures of the item." .... you can now add pictures in feedback.

Soooo many are fakes. I ordered, got fakes, reported and left negative feedback. The place refunded my money, I didn't have to send the batteries back. The refund though....removed their negative feedback. That's their game. That's how they keep it up, and stay on eBay. And the packaging and batteries were 99% "real looking". The biggest reason I knew they were fake is they weighed 3 ounces less than the real ones and the font was ever so slightly different. I knew they were likely fake when I ordered. I told the person "don't even send, just refund me now if they are fake". He still sent them. ZERO PERCENT chance I buy anything Milwaukee off of eBay. eBay didn't care that he was selling fakes. It's the wild west. eBay allows it because it's apparently the only way they be relevant vs Amazon.

I did this EXACT thing.
1. Reported to eBay with info and pics showing why they were fake.
2. I left negative under that EXACT reason.

The negative feedback was on his account for about 1 hour. Then he refunded me. Refunding someone apparently removes the feedback. So ...they sell hundreds of thousands of the fakes, refund the few that figure out they are fake/leave negative feedback.
That keeps their record sparkling and keeps folks buying them from this "trusted seller". Quite the American Dream for these eBay entrepreneurs. eBay doesn't care one ounce. I sent pictures of the scale, pictures of the font, the color, and the differences in the plastic.

Refunds don't remove a Neg. Automatically.

You have to leave factual info about the item and service. You can't go "scammer sent me fakes".. have to leave emotions out of it.. name calling can have it removed.

Ebay recently made changes to the feedback system with pictures and then a "customer experience" policy update, which makes it near impossible under normal circumstances to have feedback removed. Normal phone reps can't remove feedback now, either.

Ebay is a love/hate relationship both buyers and sellers.

Not likely. This seller isn't some scammer; they have huge amounts of Milwaukee stock and are a liquidator for major retailers. Yes there are fakes on eBay and everybody knows that, but the comments I see above have nothing to do with this seller. I've ordered from VIP Outlet many times with no issues, and everything I've bought from them has been genuine and high quality. Don't fall for the scare tactics when there's zero evidence offered regarding this specific seller or item.

Even near the $10/ah price point, not being an authorized Milwaukee dealer immediately kills it for me. If you're going to have a problem with Milwaukee products, it's likely going to be the batteries. If you can't get them warrantied, any deal is really not worth the hassle. Another deal will come along tomrorrow, or the next day, so on and so forth. Battery deals aren't a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You can usually trip over a few every month.

My negative disappeared as soon as the refund came in. I left weights of the batteries (these were 3 ounces less each) and mentioned that the fonts, build design were different. No emotion was left.

Pulled the trigger on this one. Seems like a decent deal if you need batteries.

The same seller has it listed in Walmart's online store too.
