5.0 out of 5 stars Standard battery pack, November 15, 2000

This review is from: Makita 1925982 1222 12-Volt 2.0 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery (Tools & Home Improvement)

I got about three years out of a pair of these with moderate use. Will probably upgrade to the 2.2AH units since this drill is rather hungry for power and you got to have a charger handy if you are going to do serious work. A pair of replacements cost almost as much as the kit was 3 years ago. Makes the drill close to disposable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Purposefully engineered to fail!, October 8, 2003

This review is from: Makita 1925982 1222 12-Volt 2.0 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery (Tools & Home Improvement)

In the 4 years the I have owned the Makita drill I have owned 5 batteries. One of the 2.2 AH batteries failed within 6 months, warranty covered that one. Purchased two Ni-Ca in 2002 and they have already failed with only moderate use. At $90 to $100 for a pair, you might as well toss the drill as the other reviewer stated. Makita acknowledged that a year, maybe 2 is what to expect for their batteries; digraceful. Never again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better then NiMH, November 5, 2006

I use these batteries in 12 volt Makita system tools ranging from simple drills to concrete vibrators on job sites. The output voltage on these are higher than the NiMH batteries. It makes a significant difference for blowers and impact screw guns and my crews get more work done at the end of the day.

Most new Makita 12 volt tool kits come with the NiMH's, when they're spent, I replace them with the "old fashioned" non high tech NiCads.

I am sure that Makita is right that the NiMH batteries have more storage capacity than these NiCads, but with many back up batteries on job site, the higher torque and speed of the tools using this battery far outweighs an extra battery change or two in a work day.
