Ok so I bought this because I needed a charger that would charge my 5 makita batteries that I have and so far it does like it is supposed to. I have had zero issues and it definitely is an upgrade to the makita dc18sd that came with my impact driver.

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.

The batteries hold a charge for an extremely long time. No lack of power.

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.

Great charger. Charge time listed by Makita was pretty accurate. Easy to attach/remove the batteries. Lights were clear on the status of the charge. The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was the amount of plastic that this product was made of, but I don’t see any durability issues with that. Same as other brands for their charging stations as well so I guess that’s the industry standard.
