My makita 9.6v batteries lasted 8 years.

I've got a consumer level Wally world brand 12 volt drill whose battery
pack was starting to suck pretty bad after 5 years.

I had it rebuilt for $60 CAD, with a one year warranty, and can't
believe the difference.

I've got another cheapo 9.6 volt and will take that pack in next week
for rebuilding as well.
