They were hyped by the factory reps as being just the opposite. I hope the electric car makers will be using superior technology to this lousy stuff. I agree with other reviewers that these batteries have a short lifespan. They are no better than the old nicad.
Hope this helps. I have had many drills and these NiMH batteries have been a big disappointment. Unfortunately, these batteries seem to last less than a year. I store them in the house at a stable temperature and yet I can only get about 10-15 minutes of use and that's it. At $140 for two new batteries, it seems smarter to buy a new drill and battery type.
this battery does a very good job. it puts out great power in my drill and impact driver
the battery is exactly what we wanted and has worked just fine so far. I would recommend this.
I was glad to see this battery in the sealed Makita bubble. The members of my woodworking club have reported that rebuilt battery packs are not a good investment as they don't perform well. Amazon price way beats the local big box retailer that I use for lumber. It was nice to finally get a real factory battery for my drill. I had priced the sub-c cells at a number of places thinking that I would take the old battery pack apart and solder these together to renew my battery pack but after comparing prices it was not worth the time and effort. There are a lot of aftermarket batteries out there but I was real happy with the performance of this unit.
