Does anyone have any stellar recommendations to make as far as cordless battery brands? I currently have 2 out of 6 Porter Cable 18v batteries that will take or hold a charge. Bought this set up maybe 5-6 years back and the only 2 that hold a charge I got on sale at Lowes a couple years back. Yet, I have 7.2, 9.6 and 12 volt Makita batteries that are pushing at least 30 years old or more that still take and hold a charge like new. I admit, their life is limited and power isn't what you get with the 18v stuff, but I can still drive a lot of sheetrock screws in an afternoon with the old stuff.
I know I'm not alone in this. Is it just planned obsolescence, poor quality or what???????
BTW- My 60 year old Millers Falls corded drill still works every time!
