But you can get 10 of those for one Makita, so they are more cost

Most decent quality drills today will work perfectly well with present

battery technology. What may, or may not, be wonderful for a mobile

doesn't necessarily mean the same advances for power tools. There's
just
no point in making a cordless drill smaller or lighter than current
decent
ones - except possibly for specialist use. And you can be certain any
new
battery technology will be more expensive and have other
disadvantages.
Self discharge is one. Doesn't matter on a phone which will be charged
regularly. But a DIY cordless drill which was flat each time you wanted
it
would be a waste of time.


You know as much about new battery technology and price as you know
about lubrication oils.


Did your dad use them with his condoms by any chance?


Lithium batteries. You are a weirdo.
