My Lithium didn't last a summer. The high heat in the shop
kills the battery.

I hate to keep my tools in the house or create a special room

I've heard reviews about lithium ion batteries not lasting as long...
we'll see how that goes.


Can't be any worse than the Nicads on my last 3. Dead if left for
more than 6 weeks - and wouldn't take or hold a charge after 3 or 4
years... My Lithium drill can sit on the shelf or 3 months and still
have a good head of steam.



Bosch has a 2-year battery life guarantee.
I guess that's long enough to determine if they're any good.
