Huh. Must just have been a coincidence that my friends who have had battery problems always plug theirs in at night and I don't do that, and have never had anything but a great battery life.
I must have been applying my knowledge of batteries from my part job in the hardware section of Sears. The manuals for the cordless drills recommenced that you run the batteries dead and never recharge them when they are hot. Which most people don't do, which is too bad, because they were not happy to find out the batteries cost almost as much as a brand new drill.
