“I guess they are all headed downhill”,

This review is from: Makita BL1830 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery (Tools & Hardware)

I replaced a 14.4 Milwaukee NiCad with a Makita LXT and noticed that my old Milwaukee NiCads outlasted these in terms of longevity. Run time is solid, but lifespan is short. Two dead after one year, I'm only a homeowner. I've only done a few lengthy jobs such as putting cement board down in a 10x20 room, and building a deck with these, in addition to the other basic tasks of drywall, and other light construction needs. Love the light weight though. Now, I need new ones. Somewhat disappointing.

“Endless power!”,

This review is from: Makita BL1830 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery (Tools & Hardware)

Really, these batteries provide seemingly endless power. They hold their charge for weeks with very little loss. I can use one battery for drilling and driving throughout an entire (moderately sized) project. They are extremely lightweight and charge in twenty minutes or less usually (in hot weather it takes longer). All three of mine slide on and off easily, with no issues of binding or falling off. With all the praise comes a VERY important caveat. DO NOT run these batteries into the ground. The instructions state that as soon as you notice a loss of power, stop and charge. If you over-discharge Li-Ion batteries, you can seriously degrade the life of the battery. These batteries are 1/3 cheaper on Amazon.com than at the home centers, so buy from here! Also, only the cells themselves are made in Japan, all other parts are made and final assembly is in China.

“Makita 18V lithium battery”,
Review Date : February 20, 2007
Reviewed By : Shaw -

I like the small size, low weight, and high power capacity of these batteries and the associated Makita tools. My only complaint is that some of the batteries are tight and very hard to remove from the tools. This problem tends to become worse with use. Also be careful with the charger - is works well but is VERY delicate and will break / cease to function if dropped or banged around.
