I just had to replace one of the batteries on my 12v Makita drill, which is about 10 yrs old. I bought some extra batteries for my 18v Makita at the same time. Bought from Amazon, the free shipping is helpful.

$160 total, but now I have 2 batteries for the 12v, which is my light-duty drill, and 4 for the 18v, which is the workhorse drill. I hate having to pause work because I've drained all my batteries, so 4 is not overkill IMO.

Thought about a new lithium drill, but they are not cheap - not Makitas anyway - and I'd still want plenty of extra batteries for them.
