Has 2 x 1.5Ah ni-cad batteries and the li screwdriver seems to have a removable battery (unless its a misprint?)

the kit box you see is for the screwdriver and you can see a transformer on a plug with no docking station that suggests to me the battery is all in one so not removable and you just plug the charging lead into the driver

only the bottom 4 lines appear to apply to the driver

# 4V Screwdriver:
# 4V Li-Ion Battery
# 12 Torque Settings
# LED Work Light

Fair enough BA, I figured as much, though surprised someone hasn't offered something like 7.2 with a removable battery as yet, something lightweight for stuff like assembling kit stuff, then again I suppose a 10.8 driver would fit within that arena?

10.8 is one hell of an advance with 12 to 14v performance at half the 18v weight

i think that manufacturer will very soon like bosch and dewalt have done now bring out lighter duty not so over engineered 18v with lithium that has reduce capacity off say 20% at the top end offset with about a 40% reduction in weight
but i can see a 25 to 30 % power to weight improvement over the next 5 or 10years allowing 8.2 to be the new 10.8 /10.8 to be the new 14.4 /12 to be the new 16v/14.4 to be the new 18v/18v to be the new24/24 to be the new32v etc
