Editorial Reviews:

Makita Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-Mh) batteries represent a technological breakthrough offering significantly greater running time per charge. No memory effect so batteries can be charged before they are fully discharged. Environmentally friendly for disposal. Ni-MH batteries can be fitted to appropriate existing cordless tools to upgrade their performance, Ni-Mh chargers must be used (DC1801, DC1803, DC1804, DC1822, DC1411, DC1413, DC1414, DC1422 and DC1439)


User Comments about the Makita 194157-8 1434 14.4-Volt 2-3/5-Amp Hour NiMH Pod Style Battery, 2-Pack

The product came within a week. So far this has been a great find. The batteries are new, in original packaging. I charged them and have been using them with no indications that they will not perform like the original batteries.



I checked these battery packs at my local specialty tool store.$86.00 a piece.I saved lots of green on Amazon.Thanks



At least they were cheap. I bought these to replace my stock batteries that came with my drill/driver kit. They don't hold a charge nearly as long as the original ones did. If I hadn't labeled them, I probably wouldn't be able to tell which were the old worn out batteries and which were the new ones. Maybe I got a bum package but it is too late to return as I used the heck out of them for a job I needed them for.



I like the power and performance of the unit and the batteries(when they are working) but was very disappointed in the battery life on 2 of the 4 batteries. With only modest intermittment use, one of the batteries failed. Makita 194157-8 1434 14.4-Volt 2.6 Amp Hour NiMH Pod Style Battery, 2 PackI purchased the makita 14.4 impact driver kit with two batteries 3years ago. In May 2008 I purchased the two pack. But rather than buy new equipment, I am buying another 2 pack from Amazon as their price and service is very good. Again after only moderate use one of the new batteries failed.



FIRST, IT PERFORMED WELL. IN ALL I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT ONCE FULLY CHARGED IT LASTED LONGER THAN I EXPECTED, AND AFTER TWO WEEKS OF NOT USING IT, IT DRAINED ALMOST NONE.SECOND THE PRICE, IS UNBELIEVABLY CHEAPER IN A TWO PACK. SOME CHARGED ALMOST THE SAME PRICE FOR A SINGLE BATTERY THAN AMAZON FOR TWO PACK.
