John, I've just got a 7.2 volt Makita and only one battery. When you get as old as I am, one battery will last as long as I will on a job./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Hmm, another variable (age) thrown into the mix. It appears that this is not a one-size-fits-all kind of problem./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Golfgar4,

I don't really consider myself much of a troublemaker, but I guess that could change./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Too late!

The rebate coupon is in the mail. The battery is on the way. Where were all you bit characters (pun intended) yesterday?

HEY EVERONE..... While on the topic..... There has been a recall on some of the chargers because they may just start a fire....... On the Internet do a search for CPSC for the recalls......... Consumer Product Safety Commission.

I had 2 Dewalt chargers that were involved in the recall....

Here's the most recent recall notice I found on CPSC's web site - <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml01/01057.html>Recalls</A>. It's from December of 2000, and invovles DeWalt and Black and Decker battery chargers. If there were any more recent recalls, I didn't see them.

Clemson - I STILL think you should get the battery! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Clemson,

Well I can see you are a guy that gets things done pronto, as evidenced by your ability to actually get the rebate coupon in the mail before it expired /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif. With that additional data, I think you did the right thing. You're going to burn those three batteries up in a MONTH!!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
