Have been buying these for years as they wear out (do not hold a charge) In the past each battery would have a useful life of about 5 years.
The newer batteries (made in/after 2013) do not hold a charge and are not covered by the warranty (is it two or three years?) according to DeWalt.

The closest service center suggested by the DeWalt rep over the phone is 200 miles away.......not sure what a service center could do any way to a bad battery. The second battery bought in this combo pack is holding a charge.
So you have to buy new ones.......just be aware........
Hope someone in DeWalt reads these comments and takes action.........

I got these for on old Craftsman bundle set I've had for years but still work like they were new. I hated to pay more for OEM than I probably spent on the kit, so I decided to give these a try.

They work just as good as the originals, yeah, the older models are clunkier and weigh more than the newer models, but if you're on a budget or just don't use power tools that often then I'd just fix-up the old set and save some $. I can't tell any difference in the charge time or the power. If you own one of these tools/kits don't throw it out for newer ones, or spend a bunch on OEM batteries...I'd try these instead.
