Skil is now owned by Chervon. This is the same company that owns EGO battery powered outdoor power tools like mowers and leaf blowers. Sounds like some of that EGO battery technology made its way to Skil tools.

sample quote

CHARGES IN 5 MINUTES— Automatic PWRJUMP™ charges the battery in just 5 minutes, or 100% battery in 30 minutes (for 2.0Ah battery).

end quote

30 minutes to full battery

The above is “ad-speak- deception”
Who knows what “charges” means in this ad speech, maybe “ 5 minutes of charging gives 5 minutes of runtime from a previously dead battery”

Lithium batteries can take in a lot of current when they are near zero voltage rating,
and the amount of this current is mostly limited by how well the battery is cooled.
The Skil ad emphasizes a new material is used inside the Skil battery to wrap each cell and carry away heat.

Remember: if anything goes wrong a fire from a $29 Li battery
can burn down your $150,000 garage or house

Edit:
From a review.
A fan to keep it cool, and the power jump feature that takes a dead battery to 25% in just 5 mins is an amazing feature in a pinch!
