This is Makita's low end (1.3 amp hour) battery, a.k.a. #9100, typically sold with their low cost drill kits. It provides limited use without recharging. Don't be tempted to buy a higher amp hour battery (Makita makes several) unless your charger will handle it. The charger will list the batteries it will service. The rub is that the low cost kit chargers won't charge anything but the low amp hour batteries.

It's best to have 2 batteries, one for use and one for the charger. This way one is ready to go whenever your devise battery has run out of power. Only problem with this idea is the cost is almost the same as a complete drill kit that includes 2 batteries. Makes you think about the price of batteries. I see many kits for $ and the replacement batteries for them run $ each. They must be giving away the drill and rechargers knowing the battery sales will make up. Happy drilling.

When I puchased my Makita 9.6V Drill/Driver, it came with 2 of these 9.6V batteries; after 2 years, they stopped taking a charge and I've looked around to replace them. I found the price for these replacement battery packs to be ridiculous... I found a new 14.4V drill/driver (different brand) with 2 battery packs and charger for only twenty dollars more than the cost of 1 of these Makita replacement batteries. So I would throw out your old Makita and shop for a new model with 2 batteries... it just makes no sense to pay these prices for replacement batteries. Also, since these Ni-Cad batteries have probably been sitting in a warehouse for years without a charge, you can bet they will have a shortened life.

Amazon was great, they shipped quickly and did everything they promised. However, I think the battery has been sitting on a shelf somewhere in a wharehouse and it does not charge as well as the original one. Someone else said the simliar thing in their review, but I proceeded to buy hoping it was an isloated insident. I now wish I follwed the others recommendtion of buying a new modern drill with much better power.

I received the correct battery however it was defective and would not charge. I have returned the battery and am waiting for a good replacement. So far customer service has been okay!

This battery seems to be a perfect replacement for my
Makita Drill. The drill works fine and the charge
seems to hold well.

The new battery works great. I used up the old one over several years of home repair use. This new one fits my drill and keeps a charge as well as the original one did.

I have had my Makita drill for many years. Another replacement battery I purchased four yers ago was not made by Makita and it was expensive and of poor quality and did not last very long. This battery, purchased fom Amazon, is made by Makita, of first class construction and very reasonably priced.

I received a Makita label battery, not necessarily what I was expecting. Most of the replacement products available were "no-name", and I was concerned that the specs and performance would not match the original. This battery works perfectly with the original charger and has plenty of power. Nice to have my drill gun back to peak performance.

The first shipment was lost by UPS and upon contacting the Battery Geeks the Battery Geeks quickly sent replacements without any cost to me and the product has performed satisfactorily up to now.
