I am too much of a "green" person to throw away good tools simply because the batteries don't work and it's equally as expensive to replace the batteries as to buy I new tool. For that reason, I usually buy the same brand of battery powered tools w/ the same 14.4 volt batteries so that I get multiple batteries to use w/ different tools. I also look for sales on those batteries. I am not a conspiracy theorist but it has occurred to me that the manufacturers have built in planned obsolesence.
