Several years ago Milwaukee came out with their first Li batteries, salesman convinced me good plan for the work trucks as they used the same battery case as the Nicads. Spent couple thousand on tools. ONE year later they changed the battery case and tools and obsoleted the old ones. Yes you could special order the "old" batteries for twice the price. I asked why they did not make an adapter to use the new batteries. I was told the tools had the smarts to run the batteries. Milwaukee would not help me in any way.
Ryobi has kept the same case for years, they put the battery charging and running smarts in the battery case not the tool.
I do have the little 12v and love them. They have replaced the need for carrying the big tools and are much easier to use overhead. I even have the heated jacket that works well.
