My dewalt Li-ion was made in march of 2009. The date is stamped on battery. In the circular saw, it can't cut the corner off a 2x4, or drive a dozen 3 inch deck screws with the 1/4 inch impact. After 2 minutes on the charger it stops charging, so if you can't put a charge in it, it can't take one out either.
I have a second Li-ion the same age, it's still works. It may require 15-20 minutes to recharge. In my opinion, the battery isn't close to a 2.4 amp-hr.
I know some of you love the ion battery, but I'll never buy another one. I noticed that after about 500 recharges, this battery was headed south. I estimate I recharge my batteries 250-300 times a year. I'm sure there are people with better luck, but how many times do you charge your batteries?
BTW, I use a dewalt charger for the Li battery.
