KenC Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I have an 18v 1/23"Hammer/drill, 18v Recip saw, 18v circular saw that are fairly old. When the batteries went bad, I bought two new 18V Li-Ion batteries and a third with charger with a new 1/4" impact driver. I loved them! light, long running etc. Then, two of them no longer will take a charge! One died in about 6 months and maybe 10-15 charges, the second about 3-4 months later. Is this something that is common? Fixable? I'm thinking of going to Ridgid, just for the lifetime warranty. Three batteries at 120 bucks each and less than a year is not something I care to repeat.

kjones Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Exchange them. You have 2 years bumper to bumper. FYI- beware the fine print with Rigid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenC Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I didn't keep receipts and the nearest service center says 'too bad'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 They only require a proof of purchase if the date code stamped on the tool/battery is beyond the stated warranty for that particular product. What is the date code number stamped on the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
