I tried to search for an existing thread here for this topic but came up empty. Am I the only one having problems with Makita 18 volt batteries for their line of portable power tools? The original one lasted almost ten years, but the replacement is refusing to take a charge after just two. Or should I say the charger refuses to charge it, instead just beeping and flashing its lights. I'm very leery of buying another one, especially after reading the reviews at Amazon where people are having the same trouble. I even found where someone in another state had filed a lawsuit. With half a dozen of their tools already in my toolbox, I'm hesitant to throw good money after bad on another Makita battery. And if I started over with a different manufacturer, what brand is any better?
