Makita Replacement Batteries
As expected the batteries which I purchased are great. Price and free shipping were both fantastic!

The Best Out There
I am a designer in the film industry and am often heavily involved in construction. Having used every tool out there, there is no better than Makita for reliability, resilience and responsiveness. The fast charger has never left me int he lurch. I keep two on chargers while my other two are drilling, splitting and ripping. For two years no battery has failed me. Makita is the superior tool out there. While on the pricier side of tools... they are worth their weight in gold when it comes to their abbility. The time I have saved using Makita tools (and not waiting for a slow chraging Dewalt or suffering through the lag at the end of the battery on a craftsman) has paid for my tool kit twice over.

Much better than NiCad, but not immortal
I had to replace 2 of these after 2 years' LIGHT service. However, the Makita 18V tools are excellent and these batteries are much better than the NiCads that most other manufacturers supply. I bought the more expensive Makita tool set because of the NiMH batteries and I have no regrets, even though the replacement batteries are more expensive -- their use and service is sufficiently better (IMHO) to justify the price.
