X2 test

[Lodge]

I took my new 18v X2 for a test this weekend. I drilled five 5/8" holes two inches deep into fiber reinforced concrete. It took both batts to do this and I ran out of power about halfway through the sixth hole. Do you all think that this is up to par with the other drills on the market? This is my first 18v drill and I have nothing to compare it to.

I don't have the X2 manual with me here, but I know a lot of NiCd batteries don't reach full potential on the first (or even second) charge. It's possible you are not seeing the true battery life until they have been cycled a few times.
