I found this out a couple of days ago and was so pissed and disappointed. You would think that they would improve with time not regress. But once again it is all about profit. I am now looking at hilti tools, 3.8mah batteries.
DeWalt tools are still good. The problem is where the batteries are being made, consumers are making bad choices that affect US companies. A123s were made in the US. It sucks that DeWalt,Milwaukee,Bosch and even Hilti are shifting some production to china :(
well it was a good move. now with the newer 36v batteries, you can continue to use your tools when the originals die. i prefer having this option than none at all, plus these Samsungs are good quality 18650s,
Dewalt has gone to shit ever since they where bought out by Stanley. Someone should file a lawsuit against dewalt because these 36 v batteries are junk. I spent thousands on supplying my employees with dewalt 36 batteries I was lucky to get 6 months out of them. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
George Owen dewalt 36v battery can been repaired. a A123's 26650 battery only 4.5 dollar . one 36v battery includs 10 26650 battery......i try to repair my four dewalt 36V battery and succed.
i just opened the newer black 36v batteries 2015 dates and they only have 10 cells inside, empty spaces where the other 10 cells should be?

Can you rebuild the batteries??
Yes. LithiumWerks 26650 x 10
@burlbark Make sure you check the country of manufacture on the tool you buy - Hilti make some of their tools in China now.
