Title: Nimh Batteries have terrible life
Product review: Well I bought this drill ... at Lowes, they had 3 new sets they were closing out. I ALSO bought the 14.4v De Walt with the XRP Nicd batteries. For comfort and control when driving screws the Makita felt more refined...however the batteries run down to completely empty in about 20 minutes of drilling!!!! This is totally unacceptable. I had to recharge the Makita 3 times for the one time that I've charged the DeWalt...and the DeWalt is still going strong...its a shame because the price and feel of the Makita was really nice! Anyway, I'll be returning it to keep the... DeWalt 14.4...
