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

    That’s called the other side of the coin of the free market economy. Capitalism.

    You sell your tool’s battery for $200/ah? Someone makes the same thing without the tag that is compatible with the same ah rating but without your warranty for $50 and I buy it from them, you lower your price or see your sales drop off a cliff

    What you think anyone should actually subscribe to the Ethics for thee but not for me model?

    BTW I’ll be buying some aftermarket tabless 12ah batteries for my Ego tools when they kick and guess what I won’t be paying for 6 of them… $4,000

    Yes, four. thousand. dollars.

    I’ll be spending less than $1,000.
