    Very true. I gave up on battery based tools for a few years, after frustration with NiCad batteries being dead when I went to use them

    Got some 3 or 4yr old Porter Cable 18v drills and impact from Lowe's.... things will hold charge for about a year just sitting there. The drill will....I hardly use it... always using the impact driver

    NiCd or NiMh chemistry battery packs for power tools are very poor options now that Lithium Ion chemistry batteries are the new "normal". Ditch all of the old NiCd & NiMh stuff and upgrade to Lithium Ion battery based power tools. Doing so will save you a tremendous amount of aggravation.
