It's like my impact driver has a new life. Don't pay more than $45 for it though. Other sites have a pair of them for well over $100. At that price you might as well buy the new combo kit.
Cheapest batteries I was able to find, the product was received brand new. Batteries work great will recomend to everybody.
This battery charges quickly and provides enough power for my Makita 6233D drill. I did have to upgrade the charger because my original DC1410 charger would not charge the NiMH battery, but only charges the Ni-Cd batteries that came with the drill.
Two of these batteries came with the new Makita drill I purchased about three years ago. Both of mine exhibit the same horrible service. I immediately noticed that they didn't hold a charge for as long as my old 12v Makita batteries. Now, like someone else said, I can only drive five or six screws before the battery goes dead. I've never left them out in the cold and treated them as instructed. Very disappointed.
At least the tools last. I hate the 1 year warranty on these batteries.
of 2007 & it's dead already but was never used that much. I bought an extra battery in Feb.
It's either buy a couple more of these batteries or try a Rigid 18 volt Lithium cordless drill with a lifetime guarantee on the drill & batteries, or a Milwaulkee 18 volt Lithium with a 5 year warranty,(Free replacement on the batteries for 2 years & pro-rated for up to 5 years). The 2 original batteries still work but their charging span is alot less than when new in 2005.
I have the 14.4 volt circular saw, drill, impact driver, & flashlight to operate on the same batteries. It seems to me that if they were made better; they would have a better warranty on them.This is my first complaint with any of my Makita tools.
(The original batteries have a sticker with made in Japan written on both of them ; the newest one I bought thats dead must be made in China).
