The Makita 18-Volt 2.6 Ah Ni-MH Pod-Style Battery Pack features longer run longer than standard Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. It's environmentally friendly, too, and has no "memory effect". Designed to fit all Makita 18-volt cordless tools, the battery also features multi-contact terminals to ensure a tight connection, and a shock-absorbing construction to protect battery cells against dust and vibration.


User Comments about the Makita 193159-1 1834 18-Volt 2.6 Amp Hour NiMH Pod-Style Battery

I use them hard and sadly have abused them a bit. The four lasted only four years. saw and drill in a lake on two different occasions while installing bulkheads - no problem. I am shopping for my 7th (and maybe 8th) Makita 18v 2.6 Ah batteries. Since I absolutely had to have a hammerdrill for drilling in block and concrete, I also bought a hammerdrill. Total number of batteries: four and two chargers. (dropped the Recip. I use them in the rain often).So I think the batteries deserve only a 3, but the tools are 5+ out of 5.p.s.


I bought a combo pack of circular saw, reciprocating saw, drill, and flashlight seven years ago to replace my 4+ year old DeWalt 14.4v set which was malfunctioning. I expected more, since the DeWalt NiCd's lasted that long, but I stopped by a Makita reapir shop in Dayton, NJ to have the 18v circular saw shoe plate aligned, and the service guy really sold me on Makita. My daughter's 9.6v long handle drill is over 12 years old and works perfectly, and the two original NiCd batteries are weaker, but still work. Bought a two pack of 18v #1834 Makita NiMh batteries and after two years 10 months, one is shot and the other still going, but doesn't hold a charge as well as it used to.The good news is that every one of the Makita power tools is running strong even after being abused for seven years.


I didn't realize how bad my old batteries were getting. These are holding the charge quite nicely and I'm off and "working" again. purchased new ones and boy does the drill work "fast" again.



This works perfectly -as you would expect. As you look for Makita batteries, most of what you find are aftermarket. It seems difficult to find genuine Makita batteries at a decent price. Be careful ordering batteries online.



Stick with Makita batteries for your Makita power tools. Those off brands will not last very long and you will not get the most out of your Makita tools. Amazon with the free shipping is the best price for a OEM Makita battery.



Delivered promptly - works just fine. Can't do anything about that. Expensive though.
