Not used any DW, all I have are red (Milwaukee). 2-yr lifetime seems

Another thought...the limited lifetime would make me suspect cheap
charger(s) maybe.

When I got my 18v Ridgid set I think the batteries had a 3yr warranty at
the time. All 3 batteries were not holding charge. Sent back. They sent 3
new batteries along with a new charger. New charger acted differently. Bad
charger or bad design I guess.

Even though there was no charge, they itemized the repairs. It was like $10
less than what I paid for the complete full kit.
