But what he said about the 3-4 year expectancy looks to be dead on. These packs I bought are now 3+ years old, and are probably on their last fizzz (thats gotta be an official electrical term, right?)
While I'm a little pissy about the age of the packs I purchased, I did purchase them for basically bottom dollar. Sometimes a good deal is in fact too good to be true.
I've got 400 in Lowes gift cards save up.....waiting for them to start carrying Dewalts 36V line - that is unless the DW finally decides she wants that masterbathroom finshed.....

I thought that Dewalt went away from a123 to some other off brand of LiIon cells. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure i read that somewhere. Te Dewaly packs they are making now dont contain real a123 any more.
