I have a fair bit of construction tools (DeWalt brand) but the batteries are damn expensive

Is it unethical to buy the cheaper compatible batteries

    This sounds like it was written by a bot. My local recycling center has a huge bin of old lithium power tool batteries and in 8 years, I have never seen a burnt one.

    You guys are delusional if you think brand = higher quality.

      Okaaayyy… I guess I’d be interested to hear how that’s working in your mind. Care to explain?

      I have never seen a burnt one.

      Really, were you expecting them to keep the remains of the few that created dangerous fires around for you to examine? Were you hoping to see a little pile of melted plastic and ashes, is that it?

      You guys are delusional if you think brand = higher quality.

      And you lack reading comprehension if you think that’s what I said. Want to try again, boss?
