I agree with other reviewers that these batteries have a short lifespan. They were hyped by the factory reps as being just the opposite. They are no better than the old nicad. I hope the electric car makers will be using superior technology to this lousy stuff.
I have had many drills and these NiMH batteries have been a big disappointment. Unfortunately, these batteries seem to last less than a year. I store them in the house at a stable temperature and yet I can only get about 10-15 minutes of use and that's it. At $140 for two new batteries, it seems smarter to buy a new drill and battery type. Hope this helps.
this battery does a very good job. it puts out great power in my drill and impact driver
the battery is exactly what we wanted and has worked just fine so far. I would recommend this.
It was nice to finally get a real factory battery for my drill. I was glad to see this battery in the sealed Makita bubble. I had priced the sub-c cells at a number of places thinking that I would take the old battery pack apart and solder these together to renew my battery pack but after comparing prices it was not worth the time and effort. The members of my woodworking club have reported that rebuilt battery packs are not a good investment as they don't perform well. There are a lot of aftermarket batteries out there but I was real happy with the performance of this unit. Amazon price way beats the local big box retailer that I use for lumber.
