I am very curious about this because I was thinking about switching over to Ridgid mainly for the lifetime batteries. Or what I understood was lifetime batteries. Can they really leave you hanging with a perfectly good drill that they no longer make batteries for?

I can't imagine it's even legal, as it seems a bit like a breach of contract.

Did this happen to you, or to someone you know?
