If you're buying a new cordless drill, something to keep in mind is that Makita only warrantees their new lithium-ion batteries for 200 charges. DeWalt warranties theirs for 2 years, from the date of manufacture on the battery. So if you're lucky enough to buy, say, a DeWalt drill with batteries made earlier this year (only the year is stamped on the batt), they are actually warranteed through 2014.
