What is the best way to store Lithium Ion power tools battery?
Lithium-ion power tools battery can hold a charge for many months.

My experience is that battery "powered" tools, possibly with the
exception of screwdrivers, are under powered, and the eventual,
replacement battery is about the same price as the tool itself.
Essentially, battery operated tools are really battery consuming devices.

I agree. Portability is only good reason to use them. Couple of years
ago I threw out two perfectly good garden tools because cost of battery
replacement was more than the tools themselves.

Don't get me started on cars with batteries
