The old Makita stuff is just so well built, there's no excuse to replace

IMHO, though, Li-Ion batteries have a vastly longer service life as well
as better performance. I've yet to have one fail. Unlike Ni-Cad or NiMh.

I had a Li-Ion "jump-starter" battery fail (after not very much work).
Just refusing to charge any more, not an exciting failure.
