I find drill batteries last two years.

the first set of 9.6V sticks for my Makita 6095 lasted 10 yrs,until I
stopped using them frequently.
IMO,NiCds are "use them or lose them".

Doesn't seem to
matter what brand. I've never tried Primecell for
rebuilding. I will, one of these days. I've got a 14.4
Makita that isn't holding charge.


Does Makita now sell lithium packs and charger for your model?
Those hold a charge much longer,much lower self-discharge.
