Yes very much so grate tools

Couldn’t recommend the 5.0 Ah batteries more. Although they are heavier- suck it up, it builds muscle ;). I love that I can count on the quick charge time and how long each battery lasts. Depending what tool, I can go 2-4 hours on one battery using constantly. I now have three of them and watch for deals. I couldn’t be happier.

Last much longer than the 3.0. A bit pricey though
Evangeline Simonis (verified owner) –
At this point it would not be fare to rate, as I have used it very little. I would mention my initial response is very positive!

The battery (fuel) gauge is a great upgrade

This batter was bought to replace the original battery that quit after two charge phase. So far this one has taken one charge and is working OK. But the original battery went to Makita for replacement and I haven’t received the replacement yet. I would rate higher but so far I am seeing a 25% failure and that is not accecptable.

Time will tell. I haven’t had it long enough to see how long it lasts. But it seems to have a lot of power
Evangeline Runolfsdottir (verified owner) –
Great battery. Makita in general makes a great product.

The best cordless bandsaw out there hands down and the best batteries
Kianna Gorczany (verified owner) –
I have used all kinds of batteries for multiple brands and systems but none of them compare to the 5a. The star protection keeps you going through the whole job. One 5a battery all day or multiple 3a batteries throughout your day? You decide but I’ll take only one battery for the job any day.
