Amps keep going up [Posted on 2006-03-24]
I got about 6 years of homeowner/hobbyist use out of my Makita 12 Volt Nimh battery pack. Original battery was rated at 2.2 Ah. This battery was rated at 3.0 AH so over time as battery technology has gotten better they have upped the capacity in their battery packs. Another nice thing about this pack is that it has a built in LED light that draws almost nothing for power and is angled in such a way as to let you see what you are working on, it also has an on/off switch for that. I did rebuild one of my battery packs but it would not work in the recharger (maybe battery impedence problem) when I was finished so I used my RC airplane Triton charger cost me about $40.00 in cells to build and some soldering skills see this web site www.kichline.com/chuck/fixit/makita/Default.htm overall though I would buy another one.When I took my original one apart Makita quality was excellent inside. Makita internal cells were HD commercial that I have never seen before-top notch stuff.
