No--typical would have been for both to be bad. Consider yourself lucky that
one still works.

We have a 12V cordless drill we bought some years ago. I'm not
exactly sure when, but the date label indicates Q4 1997, so I'm guessing
we bought it Q1 or Q2 1998. Even though it's six years or so old, we
didn't use it a whole lot. When I dragged it out to use it the other
day, I discovered one of the battery pack doesn't accept charge no matter
how many time I try it.

Does this sound like typical?
