I have the Parkside (Lidl) 12V planer and mini recip saw and while they are good for the price (underpowered but light and compact), the battery died in under a year and I've yet to replace it. I would recommend going either the Screwfix or Toolstation route as their returns are as close to zero hassle as you can get. Order online and the receipt stays in your account. I've walked in with a couple used and abused tools that died within the first year and they just swapped out for new.
