I wonder if the batteries have 2 year warranty as well as often batteries aren't covered for as long... excellent if they are though.
I would see if the discount can be applied to a makita or bosch drill; otherwise wait for a better deal than this
The Ryobi Ni-cad batteries do tend to have that problem but the Li-ions don't in my experience
Would never buy nicd again, altho I like ryobi.

I would love to be proved wrong in this case (as I might buy), but in my experience batteries are usually only covered for 6 months or so and not as long as any headline guarantee period, e.g. 2 years.
would buy this one,
This has very good reviews.

No they are lithium - I bought this drill yesterday as I mentioned in this thread
Also there's a big clue in the fact that the word 'Lithium' is plastered all over the batteries on the picture on B&Qs website listing
That's one of the reasons I got it too.
