Buying Makita BL1830 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery


This rating is about the battery only
Drill performed as expected and has the power needed in a very lightweight drill
But - The battery(s) after 14 months hold a charge for 24 screws (3 inch into treated lumber).
Since it is both batteries I am guessing this is a design "feature".
This seems to be the Gillette model of creating a product with an ongoing revenue stream and I resent being that stream...
Always bought Makita but if they are asking for $150 each year there are better alternatives. Like multiple less expensive brands.
