Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Still, the makita batteries are high quality and never a mistake.

And new battery has a strategically place ridge, not immediately obvious, that prevents it from inserting all the onto the drill.

The drill itself has a small stud or boss in the track that the ridge hits, preventing full insertion.

Battery is identical to original, except original is 3ah, and new one is 4ah.

Price

Very reasonably priced genuine part, avoid counterfeit knockoffs!

Shipping

Package arrived on time and packaged properly.

Packaging/appearance

Received a genuine makita 4ah battery in factory direct packaging.

Competitiveness

I also have makita compatible batteries that are just as reliable and with the housing the same color as the makita tools.

I purposely avoided the cheaper imported batteries, reasoning that the makita branded battery would be least likely to give problems.

Unlike a certain "red" brand who's battery life was at tops 1 year.
