I have an ancient Makita drill that's been sitting around because the original batteries died a decade ago. It's hard to throw out a high end drill like this because they're well made and do the job well. Rather than throw it out I let it hang out in my tool area for a while. I teach visual arts and needed a drill for the upcoming school year, so I checked Amazon and sure enough, these were offered - and more affordable than a low end drill of questionable quality - so I bought them. they work wonderfully. They fit in both the charger and the drill, and give it plenty of power. Now I have a fantastic drill for my classroom with a fresh set of batteries.

Nothing to dislike. I purchased two of the genuine Makita replacement batteries at a much higher price and both failed in less than 6 months. These much more economical after market examples (my 2nd set) are far superior and perform well for at least two years.

The batteries were charged on the standard Makita multi purpose charger. The green LED indicated completed charge but the battery lasted less than 1 minute before the tool stopped. When placed back on the charger, the red LED lit which showed the battery was discharged. I suspect that one or more of the individual batteries inside has failed. The same failure happened to the other battery that was sent. I do not recommend this dual battery replacement at all.

Very satisfied.

So I had these for a bit now, but wanted to give them a workout. Shipped quick. Out of the box the units were solid and well constructed, as well as the OEM. I charged each in the OEM charger and they were good to go. I then set out drilling, there was power and long life. I drove screws for a while and felt I had the power for the torque needed.In short they performed better than I expected. I given these a couple cycles and workouts by now along with the stress test. I'm very pleased with the purchase.There was no way I was going to purchase OEM batteries, so my old Makita had sat for a while. So for a fraction of the cost of a new drill/driver there is new life.
