Ran out of battery power on a wood cut.

AI’s data center boom is turning construction into a robotics problem, and DEWALT just proved it

Dear Lazyweb. I have quite the collection of #DeWalt XRP tools. They're currently useless. This is because a power surge took out my lithium XRP charger and these as far as I can tell are complete unobtainium.
So, seeking advice on a non-DeWalt tool line to replace them with. I will, of course, be making adaptors. But I want to use batteries from a manufacturer that won't fuck me over like this so that as the tools die I can buy replacements from someone else.

Update on my six month old #dewalt drill that developed a directional instability.
After I finally found their customer service their help was just to point me to their local service centre. So I had to drive across town to bring it in. It was still under warranty and today I picked up the repaired item after a motor and switch replacement.
Glad it was repaired, but disappointed that it failed and that they didn't make warranty coverage more effortless.
Further on that #Dewalt product - I filled out an online form, and they got back to me with confirmation it was still under warranty and gave me the address of their local service centre.
I guess it gets fixed rather than replaced. I just have to drive it out to the far reaches of the opposite end of town. Maybe later this week.
Then I'm without my drill for a few weeks no doubt. Glad I have some working backups, but still – not what I paid for. :(
