Yes, that is the one I'm using.

Eric,
Are you using the 20v adapter? That's next when my batteries start to go. 

Peace,
Pat

I totally agree with what David stated. 

I do have one thing to add.  If you have Dewalt 18v Nicad tools, Dewalt 
offers an adaptor so you can use the new lith-ion batts in them. 

This means you don't have to rebuy all your cordless tools. 

My 18v dewalts with the new batteries rock!

A 12v lithium ion tool, from any good brand, will outperform your 18b 
nicad or nimh tools. Lighter, more powerful , and longer battery life. 18v 
lithium ion approach or exceed corded tool performance (except for run 
time, but for fit, even serious diy, this is not a problem).  Pick your 
favorite color, and buy a drill impact  driver combo kit to match, and go 
to town.
