My DeWalt finally gave up the ghost yesterday. The battery packs (both of them) would no longer accept a charge. Went to Lowe's and they wanted about $70.00 for each pack. I wound up buying a new Makita with 2 packs and a flashlight to replace the DeWalt. I couldn't see paying more for 2 packs than I originally paid for the drill with 2 packs.

They are going on E-Bay for $40-$50 for new Dewalt DC9096 packs.
