It was nice to find a reliable source for replacement batteries for my cordless drill at a good prict.

Very nice drill one of two batteries no longer works.Less than one year
old. Actually 10 months

A better buy from Amazon... [Posted on 2008-05-20]
Right now the price of two batteries is about $85 which is a great price. The batteries work great, the tools work great. If you want more batteries don't buy these. The combo with a drill, impact drive, charger and 2 batteries is roughly $230 on Amazon. So for $150 more than the batteries alone you can get more tools and another charger and the batteries. Recently, before the prices went down a pair of batteries were $100+ (and I bought a pair) and the combo about $270. I've been doing a lot of complicated fastening where an extra drill or driver would be handy. I'm sure it won't be long before I buy the combo again.

Better than expected [Posted on 2008-10-06]
After reading all the other reviews, I expected to have problems with the 1.5 AH but they work fine. I did a time test with the flashlight and they lasted 2 hours each. Using it on the impact/driver for handy work it lasted all day. This may not be the toughest test but they work good as a back-up battery, and are a lot less expensive and weight considerably less than a 3 AH.

I did talk to a Makita dealer who wishes to remain anonymous, and he said that were problems with the 1.5 AH when they first released.
