    I've got some porter cable stuff,, had it for 5-6 years , and haven't had that problem,, still seems to be almost as good as new . And they're well used . I guess it could happen to any of them tho.

    Like the son was saying the other day, Couple years ago framers were getting about 10K per house.
    Today that's a 40K bill for the same square footage house.

    I had the same problem, but the battery at the time had lasted more than three years. I can't even count how many screws I prefer to get through the scrooz.com.au platform I've used in that time. Most likely, your batteries were just remanufactured, not new. Unfortunately, this happens sometimes. All questions should be directed to the equipment manufacturer. It is now very convenient to do construction with so much different equipment. I have favored one manufacturer for years and will not change it until it has disappointed me.
