Makita 194205-3 18 Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery BL1830 Reviews
This battery is great. I would have liked the two items to be bundled and you could choose to buy they both or separately. My only complaint is that I wasn't reminded to purchase the charger with it, and now the gift is incomplete because he needs to get a charger if he plans to use this flash light for any amount of time. I bought it for my husband for a Mikita flashlight.
I have four Makita tools that use this battery, and each has ONE battery, no extra spares, and I've never had to completely stop working to charge a battery. if completely depleted and they're ready to take up again right where they left off. So that's a tradeoff I can live with. These batteries are the fastest charging cordless tool batteries I've ever used and they will put in a full day's work and then some before you have to recharge them. The 3.0 Amp Hour batteries take about 35-40 minutes to charge (there are 1.8Ah batteries for the drills that take less than 20 minutes). Unlike other brands where I had to have 1-2 extra batteries for each tool. I just use one from another tool while I charge the one that ran down. As some other reviews have mentioned, the only down side to them is there's very little warning when they do run out of juice, but seen from another point of view, they do keep running strong up to the last minute.
The order i put in was filled fast and on time , the battery is great and the price was excellent i will order again and will look for what i need here, THANKS
DO NOT run these batteries into the ground. If you over-discharge Li-Ion batteries, you can seriously degrade the life of the battery. All three of mine slide on and off easily, with no issues of binding or falling off. I can use one battery for drilling and driving throughout an entire (moderately sized) project. The instructions state that as soon as you notice a loss of power, stop and charge. Also, only the cells themselves are made in Japan, all other parts are made and final assembly is in China. They are extremely lightweight and charge in twenty minutes or less usually (in hot weather it takes longer). Really, these batteries provide seemingly endless power.
They hold their charge for weeks with very little loss. These batteries are 1/3 cheaper on Amazon.com than at the home centers, so buy from here. With all the praise comes a VERY important caveat.
This purchase was a great value. I also purchased a Makita drill that can be powered by the same battery. I received it promptly and it powers my model airplane starters just great.
