I've never heard that.

Most every cordless electric drill made in the last 3 years uses
lithium ion batteries. I have a modest collection of DeWalt cordless
tools that run on LiIon batteries. I don't own one (yet), but you can
get just about any power tool with LiIon battery power.

You say you have a modest collection of DeWalt cordless

Sorry. My sloppy editing. When I originally wrote that paragraph, I
included mention of a DeWalt 60v LiIon powered electric chain saw that
I was interested purchasing. It's powerful and very quiet. However,
when I deleted the mention of the electric chainsaw, I neglected to
also delete my comment that I don't currently own one.

I do have two fairly new DeWalt DCD710 12v LiIon cordless drills. I
use them quite often. These use brush type motors, which are not as
good as brushless motors. I burned out one motor ($25 replacement
cost). The brushes are sealed inside the motor and are not
replaceable. If I had to do it again, I probably would have bought
the larger DCD777 20v model instead, which uses a brushless motor.
