Read through this thread very carefully and made a laser like decision on a battery purchase. I needed a new drill set and ended up buying a Rigid 18 volt combo kit with two Batteries that are rather square shaped for the most part, unlike others with an appendage. ;) These batteries fit perfectly in 4"x6"x2" project box that I purchased at Radio Shack along with two alligator clips and a D/C receptacle and plug for easy disconnect and storage.
