Have inadvertently ended up with aftermarket (Chinese) batteries for both 18V and 20V DeWalt tools. They suck. Will not hold a charge for 1/2 the usage that the OEM DeWalt batteries will. And when looking online, it can be very difficult to pick through the verbiage to determine if they are OEM or aftermarket...

Have you talked to a battery store! Like Batteries Plus in Medford? They advertise from hearing aids, to atv, golf carts and such. Might be worth a shot. A real store where you can return faulty product!

There is a batteries plus here in town I have found them to historically be pretty high, but typically carry odd things that are harder to find, and better quality

From what I gather, if you are a weekend warrior, you won't notice much difference, but if you put the tools to the max test, there is a difference in run times. The after markets don't have as much run time no matter what is on the package.
