I haven't had the issue of my battery tools becoming "obsolete" because of battery failure. All my batteries are interchangeable with all my cordless tools - even the one's I bought nearly 20 years ago.
Glad I didn't buy into a cordless system that becomes worthless when they make a design change.
FWIW - my cordless tools are all Ryobi.

I have all 3 types. I was given a couple of the older style "blue" Ryobi tools a sawsall and an impact driver. The batteries were on their last leg so I bought replacements and the tools work just fine. I also have two tools that are 40V Ryobi, a chainsaw and a leaf blower. They are on par with gas powered ones. I decided to go with the 600 foot pound 1/2" impact and it works great. I found the smaller batteries are useless on these type of tools and got a couple of 6 AH from Vanon and despite the bad reviews they work great and last a long time. My only gripe is with the keyless chuck drill, you just can't get it tight enough to keep the drill bits from coming loose.
