Hello Kkuhn99 ,

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback on your 60V tool and apologize that you've run into issues with the 60V battery. The overall battery life is dependent on many factors such as where they have been stored, charged, and handled. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. It is recommended to store the battery with a full charge, and if it is being stored for a period where no use is expected, to check on the charge every couple of months. If you notice the charge has dropped, we advise charging the battery back up to full before returning it to its safe storage place. Following these steps will ensure you receive the most of the battery life. Please know that our batteries are covered by the manufacturer's warranty as stated in the owner’s manual period from the date of purchase. Although you are past the warranty period, one of our Authorized Service Dealers may still be able to help with troubleshooting. To find a dealer in your area please contact us once more. We appreciate your longstanding loyalty as a customer and hope this experience doesn't bring it to an end.
