Is it too soon to say what the overall life is likely to be? Although this
was very variable with older types of re-chargeables too.

Powercraft 14.4V combi - 2 years; Makita 18V combi - 6 years; green Bosch
7.2V DD - 19years! All NiCad. Current blue Bosch 10.8V & 18V Li - too soon.
Floureon 18V for Mak - not yet out of first charge.
