I have gone through many dewalt batteries. I have a combo hammer drill and sawall that needs both batteries replace now. It is only 6 months old. I really like Mikata. problem is that you need to know which one to get. I always get the industrial ones and stay way away from the home owners stuff. I do not buy them from homw centers. I don't think I would buy another Dewalt tool again. I had their early 12V and that thing went through heck and back and ask for somemore. Milwaukee cordless drill were a real pic of junk 10 years ago. they kept burning. that left a bad taste in my mouth. We use mostly Milwaukee, Porter Cable electrical and Hitachi tool.
We have tried almost all of the profrssional brand cordless tools. If I use it, they last about 3 -5 years. the boys, about 1 1/2 if I am lucky. One guy really likes the Ryobi junk from homedepot. when I started out they used to make a pro grade tool. I always get on my guys, if you need a 18 volt tool, you should go out to the truck and get the corded tool. I laugh at my plumber sometimes when they try to drill a 2" hole through a stud with their manly 18v drill and only have to go through the double top plate again. why not get the real thing?
