Makita BL1815 18 Volt 1.5 Ah Compact Lithium-Ion Battery Reviews
These batteries obviously have many problems. This is also the first one purchased from amazon.com - no complaint there. 2 out of 5 is totally ridiculous. This is actually the second one, that I have, that works.
Be sure to only charge the battery when it is discharged since recharging a fully charged Li-Ion unit will shorten its life or worse. I purchased the Makita BL1815 battery pack which is the smaller of the Makita 18 Volt Lithium-Ion compact batteries that can power the Makita D140 impact driver. When the 9.6 V Ni-Cd stick battery stopped taking a charge I replaced it with a Ni-MD and upgraded to a Jacobs 1/2" keyless chuck. I would recommend that you try the new Li-Ion tools and batteries. "Rokslyd" Because of the smaller size of the driver with installed battery I can reach into spaces that previously required a flex bit or 90 degree chuck.
I like my Makita tools. Having the right tools makes home repairs easier and most important, fun. Even rated at only 1.5 Ah this very light package drives quite a few lag bolts before needing a charge. Light in weight and heavy on power. I am very happy with the flexibility this battery adds. I also have the 3/8" 12 volt drill and the 1/2" 18 Volt drill both with Ni-MH batteries.
I am impressed with the driving power that is packed into these small and light units. I own a 9.6 V 3/8" Makita Drill (Model 6093D) that is 23 yrs young.
Delivered promptly. Mike Koch Happy customer :-). Product was as described.
All the guys I work with who have these love theirs and haven't had any problems that I know of, I would recommend them to anyone with Makita Lithium-Ion tools. I recieved two slimpack batteries with my makita drill purchased on Amazon two months ago and so far they are working great. I don't know what's up with other folk's batteries dying on them so soon, maybe it was a problem that was fixed since they bought theirs or maybe I just have to wait longer and see what happens with mine. Not to mention the good deal Makita has for the white combo kit with the drill, impact driver and light. A lot of the guys at jobsites have been switching to these, especially carpenters and cabinet guys, since they are so light, compact and have lots of power.
