Customer Reviews

AHA! This one works.
These batteries obviously have many problems. This is actually the second one, that I have, that works. 2 out of 5 is totally ridiculous. This is also the first one purchased from amazon.com - no complaint there.

Better than expected
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.
