- lost trust
- My second pair of batteries had come to the end of their useful lives after about three years, so I bought a replacement pair from Amazon.com. The batteries did not seem to have as much power after fully charged. (My crude test for the power is to grab the drill chuck wearing leather glove and see if I succeed at making the drill not being able to turn with the trigger slowly pulled all the way in. Be careful though, as the spinning chuck held tight will heat up the leather very quickly if you are not able to keep the chuck still.) I was able to stop the chuck from turning without having to grab the chuck with all might. After about three cycles of full discharge/charge, the batteries stopped holding enough power to drive more than two two and half inch screws into fir. Amazon.com sent me a replacement set and this set is not as strong as my first two pairs, but better than the first from Amazon.com. I have not used the batteries yet, but I feel that the quality control might be the culprit here.

- sweet. I mean the tools that are powered by these batteries. I'm a home repair carpenter and my Makita impact driver and drill set are by far my most used tools. The original batteries lasted 4 years + of daily use and I expect 4 more years from these replacements. Ive lent this set, drill and impact, to probably 10 guys on sites and most of the fellows have bought the same set within the week. The replacement batteries charge quickly and run quite a while.
