I went with the Bosch 2.6000-Gallon 7 HP Cordless Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum as my free item, it is $99 right now but that is only because it is on sale. It is $149.00 on Amazon for example.

Bought two Bosch 1/2 drivers as backups in my cars off SD. Both batteries quit within a month of owning them and I never even used them. They don't light up to charge. Told a half dozen people about the clearance deal as well. Several of them had bad batteries. Lowe's tool dept seems to think that's why they went on clearance. Hopefully, like FLEX and several other manufacturers, they upgraded their battery quality.

I have it pretty nice not crazy suction but used it to remove water out of a toilet and other stuff like clean the car..

A few times a year Lowe's have these deals where you buy the Bosch batteries and you get a free tool. It's usually 179 but has been 159 before. They also have another BOGO tool with the 8ah battery

two 8ah battery bogo (no charger): https://www.lowes.com/pd/Bosch-PR...5013569709

How long ago was this?

I was also burned by a couple of bad 4AH batteries that were pack-ins with some Bosch tool sales a few years ago.

Since then I've noticed the 4AH have had a clear redesign, but can't find consistent info online for when people have encountered the bad batteries and when/if they stopped.

These Bosch batteries are so expensive. I'd be happy to transition to Bosch 18v but everyone else has much better prices on batteries. And the Ridgid LSA on batteries is tough to beat.

That's incredibly disappointing to hear. I picked up the combo kit from SD at Lowe's about a month ago. I have Bosch drill with 2 2MAh batteries from probably 12-14 years ago and those batteries are still nearly as strong as they were when new. It sucks that the quality has went down hill. I really hope I don't have the same issue you did when the batteries in the new kit.

Maybe a bad charger? I've got all Bosch from Lowe's and Menards, and have never had a tool or battery go bad in 15 years of handyman work. I mean a couple batteries wore out after....I dunno...5-6 years maybe, but never just not any good

Bummer, I was hoping to get the 2 pack of 8Ah batteries with the shop vacuum free gift, but the vacuum isn't listed as an eligible gift on the 8Ah batteries. I could use the 4A batteries, I guess, but I'd much rather have the 8Ah batteries and I don't need the extra charger.

I have several Bosch batteries that are 10+ years old running just fine. My 4ah core batts occasionally glitch when charging on the rapid chargers that they shipped with - maybe the cells are slightly out of balance, or they get out of temp range charging fast, but I can always pop them on the older slower chargers and they fully charge and behave as they should. Been like this since new. Feel like the rapid charger is the issue more than the batteries.

I had one of the suspicious generation of 4ah die on the drill (while only doing some moderate metal drilling), another is still hanging around and perpetually stuck at 2/4 lights after charging. Newer 4ah that were redesigned (these older 4ah had a flat bottom, versus the newer ones with the scooped middle) haven't acted up at all since getting a couple of them.

The charger is an interesting theory though, if I ever see any questionable behavior from this newest battery gen I'm going to be digging for an old charger.
