![]() My impression is that one pair seems to be dying faster than the others and I cant be sure they aren't the newer batteries so my question really is whether the BOSCH batteries are good quality/tech in general or if there is a better brand out there if I were to consider switching brands? There seem to be a lot of companies like Milwaukee, Makita and DeWalt that have literally hundreds of tool choices for the platform. They may not all get used in a working week depending on the scope of work but they haven't been left for weeks at a time unused except in the dead of winter when there's less going on. I'm a contractor so I use them regularly and don't leave them on the charger unless they are charging on site. They were the latest tech battery at the time which for one pair would have been three years ago this April, two years ago for another pair. ![]() The batteries I was talking about are the 18V 2.0 Ah batteries with the LED charge state indicators. I still use mine for when I want to lighten the overall weight of a tool being used because of weight alone for specific tasks where weight can be a factor, otherwise I plunk a 4.0 90+% of the time or the newer Core 6.0 batteries. Of course the ones with battery charge indicators are newer ones, but if I'm not mistaken, the 2.0 have been phased out entirely for some time now although you will still find some old stock being sold with them in kits. I have some of those, some with built-in battery charge indicators and others without. The older 2.0 batteries the OP is having issues with are frankly pretty old tech. No larger or heavier than the 4.0 batteries with a noticeable amount of more power on the tool and run time as well. I've got 3 of them so far and am duly impressed by them. ![]() I doubted those initial claims, but once I got some and tested them, they do in fact do that. They are really a step up from their previous 4.0 batteries and in fact add extra 'Ooomph' to the power of the tool itself. Don't know how those Festool batteries work, but the new Bosch Core 6.0 Batteries from Bosch are apparently the cutting edge in tool batteries right now.
