The logic is two fold. One, you said there were two batteries with the same problem. In my experience that makes it much less likely to be the battery. Just statistics talking. Second, if you don't completely charge a battery of any chemistry it will have fine power but the self-discharge is much higher. That is why there are all those “battery minder” products out there. Keep things topped up and they will keep their charge longer. Ask me how I know (I converted my car to full electric).
My bet is your charger isn’t working. The self-discharge rate of the three common types are all much better than one day.
My 2cents other than that….I just bought a new 12v lithium drill from dewalt. Love it. Lighter and more powerful than anything I’ve owned in the past. Holds a charge a long time and charges quickly.
I didn’t have a lot of love but what I did have I would like to see again. I remember a thread somewhere on here about a way to download the old forums in one shot. Did that include the mail?
Just FYI. (I hate threads that have no conclusion.)
I found a guy to do the work by calling Henry Coe Park. I asked them who their “go-to guy” was when the state had some maintenance to do. He didn't hesitate for one second to recommend this guy. He has done a bunch of work on the roads back there for years. Some of the other “neighbors” have used him as well.
For reference: Junior Moretti of Robinson & Moretti.
I'll post pictures and maybe a vid or two for those of you like me who never get tired of watching big machines push dirt around.

@Bob: That picture is taken standing on the very edge of the northern property line of Henry Coe State Park. It looks nice because of my constant maintainance with picks and shovels. This is why I NEED a little Yukkai dozer. The job is small if you keep up with it every year. It's gotten way out of control and now beyond the reach of a little dozer (well unless you have a lot of time on your hands).
@ pepage: I completely agree with you. I've watched several dozer operators work back there. The roads that were built by someone who knows what they are doing are the easiest to maintain. They build in little swails and such so the water never builds massive ruts. Also they guys who know what they are doing seem to take a whole lot less time doing it. I would take an experienced operator with any equipment over an idiot on a big machine.
That picture is of a crazy steep road built by a guy trying to “save us money”. He took the most direct route straight down hill. I personally don't think he saved us anything. I have twelve ditches and four culverts in that road to control run-off. They are maintained with pick and shovel twice a year. I would have paid more for a better road believe me!
I knew this would be a good place to ask. Thanks Bob. pepage, have any idea where I could find a logging road person? I was going to make a call to the CDF (California Department of Forestry). I thought I'd post a picture of what I mean by the “roads”. This is a picture during our fire in 2007. The road actually looks pretty good here but this piece is STEEP.
