Great batteries. I Highly recommend all Makita products

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.

This is my husband’s favorite drill. I bought him the 5.0Ah battery and he loves the extended time, not having to stop to charge it is a game changer.
Kieran Wiza (verified owner) –
Very impressed with this battery’s runtime and power!
Lisandro Beier (verified owner) –
Bought the charger and battery at the same time I purchased a small blower. The blower is very lightweight which makes it easy for my wife to use. The charger recharges the battery in about a half hour. The battery eats the charge pretty fast. I would recommend buying a second battery.

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.

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.

Always been happy with all of my Makita tools. Batteries last and recharge is fast
Hilma Kertzmann (verified owner) –
Makita one of the best quality tools out there
Alba Lueilwitz (verified owner) –
It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.
