The local Ace Hardware store (McHenry, IL) has a 2 pack of Dewalt 18V
DW9096 batteries for $99.99. Thats $50 a battery. Haven't seen them
that cheap, even on ebay. They're 2.4 Ah. Needless to say I snapped
up a pair.

I believe the 14V batteries were 2 for $79.99.

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?
