Title: The dreaded rapid blinking (won't charge) after just 10 months
Review: Bought the DeWalt DC9071 12V XRP battery from Amazon 2/18/12. Code: 201140UAJAPAN71. Got a good price, shipped quickly, but now it's stone dead after maybe 5 or 6 recharges. Bought it just to backup one of two originals that was starting to weaken. Those two were manufactured in 2006, and have delivered six years of high use and dozens of recharges (unlike many 18V XRP batteries I've had). I don't think it's my imagination, but it seems like the older versions of DeWalt batteries last longer than the newer ones, so I've learned to label all of them with the store and date purchased. DeWalt - it's still a waste of time and money to drive to your service center for replacements - get your quality control back on track!
