I purchased these batteries for my husband and for myself. He has a 12V Bosch impact drill which he uses and me as well when I want to hang a picture in the home or for some of my own projects. The original batteries were about double the price of these batteries. I read some reviews and took a chance. We have had them now for over a year and they still work without any issues. They hold a charge, charge easily and work well when popped into the drill. I would buy these again in a heartbeat. For the price and longevity, you CAN'T go wrong.

Batteries were put in charger on arrival and fully charged per instructions prior to use. So far, so good. Unable to speak about battery life as compared to original Bosch batteries (which are no longer available anyway).

I tried other replacement batteries for my Bosh drill, but they lacked the power and ran out of juice quickly. These Creabest have a lot of power. I have used them on a project and they performed very well. My Bosh is 12 years old and I can't remember how it performed with the origional batteries. But these Creabest batteries are so much better than my other replacement batteries that only lasted 3 or 4 years with much less power.

These batteries are junk. One of them didn't work upon arrival. The other one worked for about 2 weeks. Now both are dead. Do not buy!Update: After writing my initial review, this company reached out to me. They were super friendly and helpful and I was very impressed with them. They sent me two new batteries and both are working so far. I will update this review in about a month with whether they are still working.I bumped my initial 1 star review to 3 stars and will bump it higher if the batteries continue to work.

These battery's are far better than the one that came with my driver. Fast to charge and they hold the charge longer than the originals. My driver works now as it did when it was new.

These are neither physically or electrically the same as the Bosch 3Ah batteries. In my picture this battery is on top and the Bosch is underneath. Note that the Bosch has a tab on it that this battery does not. It a quick test this battery works in a Bosch tool but NOT in a Dremel where the original Bosch does work. I am not yet sure why it doesn’t work in the Dremel but clearly the Bosch battery has a function that the tool is not finding in this knock off.

I finally got around to using the 2nd battery in this 2 pack. 1 of the batteries worked for a minute, then never worked again. bad lead connection? who knows, all i know is it doesn't work. so basically i have a throw away, and the other seems fine so far. keep that in mind when you are shopping/pricing these replacements . . .you might get cheated out of a battery like me and only 1 of 2 work. knowing this i would buy something else if i could do it over again. didn't bother contacting seller . . . i think i know what the answer would be . . . if they bothered to respond. amazon . . .you get what you pay for, sometimes even less.2024 03/26 update: re: previous review, the vendor did respond and credited me for the battery that failed. fast forward to today, had another project that needed my plunge saw. the second battery worked for 3 or 4 cycles, then quit powering the saw. i am almost certain it is a connection issue. the battery looks fine on the charger, just doesn't connect when inserted to supply power to the saw. so altogether, got about 2 hours of total use out of these 2 replacement batteries. when the time comes to get more replacements, i will be looking at a different seller.
