I was told today by a makita rep that dewalt's lithium batteries that changed from nano to xrp lithium ion changed because of battery issues. I've had mine for almost a year now and have had no problems. Did dewalt change there lithium?

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong here.... The Dewalt DC9180 Nano-Phosphate Lithium Ion batteries have never changed. However maketing has.





The first battery was the first "nano" Lion you saw on the market. I don't think the general public understood what "nano" meant. The second battery bears the Lithium Ion logo on it. The third and most current shows the Lithium ion in bright yellow, below the 18volt image is the XRP image. On the back it shows XRP lithium ion. As far as I know, the chemistry has not changed. Just the marketing.






All three of my batteries shown have the same A123 APR18650M1 cells in them.
