I agree. I bought some of the "Powilling" battery packs on Amazon for my Ryobi tools and they're just as good as OEM and much cheaper. Maybe they make compatible battery pack for your Hitatchi tools. I think most of the Li-Ion cells come out of the same factories as the OEM packs. AvE (on Youtube) tested some of these packs and they we're pretty decent.
I buy the "refurbished" Ryobi tools on eBay and have duplicate tools scattered in several states, so now I'm committed to the same battery style. If I ever switched brands it would be costly. Never had a failure with cheap Ryobi refurbs.
