I'll keep this short. I live in UK. I have a cordless Bosch 24v combie
drill. Gets heavy daily use. 3 years old, batteries no longer hold
charge. Searched internet for UK suppliers of replacement batteries. I
need 2. Best price - £120 each - check my maths, that makes £240 for two
new batteries. Searched internet again for new drill. Came up with the
same Bosch drill - latest version - with three, yes three, batteries
thrown in for only £264. So I bought a new drill.

Whats going on? - does this occur in USA?

Yep. I say, go to a RC supplier, like tower hobbies, and buy new cells, cut
your pack apart, and replace them yourself. Cut the case with a cutoff
wheel in a dremmell, and put it back together with J B Weld.
