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.
