did i fuck up?
i was looking for a 18v hammer drill for DIY stuff at home and everyone seemed to agree that makita stuff is well made and will last.
i bought one and then did some more reading and realized their batteries have chips on them that they slowly drain 2 of the cells over time and will render the battery "defective" and wont charge on the makita chargers anymore
i hear makita will replace your battery regardless of warranty if its not been charged much. is this true?
all i have right now is the drill.
should i sell and get out of the brand?
will makita fix this battery issue?
do anyone of you have this problem?

I've never heard of a reputable cordless manufacturer intentionally gimping their products. Just return it if you're worried about it and get a Hitachi or Milwaukee if you want the best, They come with either a 5 year or lifetime warranty. I think the battery warranty is two years?

I haven't ever heard about anything like that going on with Makita. I work in a multinational industrial service business where each one of us uses tools of all sorts in a professional way. Makita brand has never had any flak from us to my best knowledge.
Festool cordless gear has had some flak from some of our people, but that's all I have heard.
