I managed to fry one of the batteries to my DeWalt 18v drill , and I'm a
bit confused ... My batteries are model DC9098 . I find all kinds of
replacement batteries , and one of the most common is a DW , not a DC 9098 .
I see a difference in the A/Hour ratings , and wonder if this is the
difference in the letter designation . I'd match the battery to the model of
the drill , but the tag with the number is damaged . I've been a fan of the
Dewalt drills for over 20 years , and until now the only battery failures
I've seen were due to not completely draining them to dead before charging .
I had a 12v battery last over 6 years ... but this 18v unit died the other
day while I was using my drill to mix mortar for the stone work behind my WB
stove ... got hot , then nothing and now it won't charge . And I gotta have
a 2nd battery , one to use while the other charges .
