They're covered by the Lifetime Service Agreement --> this is radically (and legally!) different than a lifetime warranty. You should read that LSA & those other EULAs, some wild stuff in them!
They can choose to not repair it...and should they choose that -- you're up the creek. No reimbursement.
Let's say they do agree to do the replacement....you may be expected to PERSONALLY bring the malfunctioning device to their repair shop of choice -- usually run by a third party they've contracted with. (Read some of those Yelp/Google reviews on that shop they choose, they're a HOOT! You'd be LUCKY if they even fix the issue at all, let alone correctly.)
If you're near a major metro area, you'll probably be OK. If you're not near the Chicagos, New Yawk Cities, or LAs of the country -- fear not, you'll only have to drive to them. Hope you've notified your next of kin before driving to these crime-riddled metropolises. No mailing the tool allowed. For me, it was a nearly 3 hour drive...EACH WAY...to their repair shop.
Factoring in time lost from work/family, cost of fuel, etc.....it was cheaper for me to literally throw the tool into the trash can....and buy a competitor's product.

Now, if you randomly drop your tool 20 feet off a roof and it breaks or falls into a pool, etc....good luck, but for things that have just stopped working on their own it seems like they just send new tools out.

All you need to do is go online and file a claim, print return label and return the battery. One week later, you will get a new battery, simple as that. Assuming you registered the battery within 90 days.

In addition I have few other purchases that have just the 3-year warranty. All of them are suppose to be LSA and I registered the tool the within days of purchase. They promised to fix these too - I will be sure to check again tomorrow.
