Boy was I wrong. I purchased these extra batteries thinking that they would be on par with the DeWalt's. I cant think of a time that anyone of us was waiting on a "hot" battery. We have five batteries total and one single charger. Having gone through several batteries with DeWalt products, I decided to shop around and see if I could find a "better mouse trap". The charge on these last a long time. Very satisfied. I have a four man crew with two impact screw guns, a chordless sawzall and a heavy duty drill.
Take about 30 minutes to charge and last a long time, even on my recip saw or circular saw.
I purchased the 18 volt Makita Drill and Impact Driver with the 1.4mAH batteries. I would recommend spending the difference if you use these tools frequently. Due to the amount I use them at the same time I purchased two 3.0 mAH batteries and these batteries have significant improved capacity over the 1.4's.
extra batteries simply make sense for a serious worker. even if your buddy keeps borrowing your impact driver. the one or two which normaly come with a set will not keep you working indefinitely and being able to cycle through four means constantly having power.
These along with any of the tools made by Makita are the best on the market. I have used Makita's 14.4 Nicd stuff for years and actually sold them to a buddy and he is still using and lovin them.Thank you Makita keep up the good work.
