Obsolete batteries.
Some people do have quality units just the fact the battery won't go over 10yrs doesn't mean it isn't quality. Who posted that?
I have a b&d kodiak 13.2 vintage 1990 era deck screw driver. Batteries finally gave up after 15 years(it came with 3 batteries).
Batteries plus rebuilds them or will at least sell you the replacement cells if they can't.
Cordless deck drivers are running 250$ plus these days plus most aren't adjustable for torque and most spin at 3000rpm.
With that I will give rebuilding a shot. If you have a favorite it may be worth a try.

I also did that to my old cordless when the batteries ran out. I used some quick couplers to change between the three power conectors. Aligator clips, cigarette lighter, and larger battery terminal clips. The connectors i am taliking about are the weather risistant automotive type. The ones with the one exposed and one shileded terminals so you do not mix up the polarity.
