I first thought Rigid was the only one with lifetime on batteries.
Seems Rockwell has batteries for life now too but is 20? on the tool.
Now in the words of the late great wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper during his famous Piper's Pit interviews...
"Just when you think you have the answers...we change the questions!"
So looking online I see Rockwell has recently revamped the web site and no longer has any reference to "free batteries for life" and is now saying 20 years replacement on both tool and batteries for current purchases.
And the hot link to the original lifetime warranty page is redirected
https://www.rockwelltools.com/en-US/...-For-Life.aspx
This was what it read up to end of Jan 2016...
HAND-HELD BATTERY-POWERED TOOLS
The Lifetime Replacement Battery Agreement is available free of charge*, for a limited time commencing February 15, 2007, to purchasers of a ROCKWELLョ brand hand-held battery-powered tool purchased after that date and subject to the terms and conditions stated below. To accept this Lifetime Free Replacement Battery Agreement, a purchaser must submit the warranty registration for the purchased product and submit proof of purchase as described below.
The Lifetime Replacement Battery Agreement provides ONLY the original owner of a qualifying ROCKWELLョ tool with a lifetime of free replacement batteries subject to the limitations set forth below.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
This Agreement applies only to the original registered owner and may not be transferred.
This Agreement only covers ROCKWELLョ batteries and tools.

CHANGES TO AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
ROCKWELLョ Power Tools reserves the right to cancel, alter or change the implied or written terms and conditions of the Free Lifetime Replacement Battery Agreement at any time.
So it guess it really was a limited lifetime offer.
