2Pack 3600mAh 9000 Battery Replacement for makita 9.6v Battery Ni-Mh

I ordered these for my dad and he is very pleased with them. They hold a good charge and they are well worth the price.

Perfect. Matches my Makita products.

I have an ancient Makita variable speed drill I paid for in precious body parts back in the early 1990's that I wanted to get back into service lo these many decades later. The batteries I had for them wouldn't charge with my charger at all (well, they ARE 30+ years old!) so new Ni-Mh were in order. But I was concerned about whether new batteries would be charged by my ancient charger. The batteries got VERY hot while charging, but didn't smoke, melt or burst into flames, and I recall the original batteries often got very warm, too. I got one charged up, and popped it into the drill. Well, popped may be a bit of a stretch. It slid in and got kind of stuck. It's not a perfect fit, with it being VERY hard to pull back out (I used channel locks to get it out afterward). But the drill performed flawlessly after that, so overall, the operations were a success, and I have a very high quality, rugged portable drill for the cost of new batteries for it. In my 4 star rating I didn't ding the batteries for being hot while charging. That does happen with Ni-Mh batteries. But I did take a star off for the poor fit. The old batteries slid in and out without any problems and APPEAR to be the same size and shape. These will require some judicious sanding to get them to slide in and out without hand tools being needed to extract them. That's not a hard thing to do, so I only took of the one star. For a (relatively) cheap fix for my "I don't have a working portable drill" issue, these batteries did the job.

We think of cordless tools as ubiquitous but they weren't always. The idea that a battery-powered tool could drill steel was ludicrous, the stuff of "Mission: Impossible". Then Skil released their 12v "Top Gun" cordless drill and it was amazing, could do things you wouldn't believe possible. The only competition was Makita, a strictly commercial duty line of tools. I found the 9.6 drill at a yard sale with 1 or 2 batteries, case and charger. It wasn't as good as the Skil but...I quickly added the right-angle drill, the 3.5" trim saw, and the mini-"sawzall" reciprocating saw that goes places the sawzalls don't. But rechargeable batteries were a problem and I mostly abandoned the tools over the last 20-30 years. Now, with these new batteries, they are back!!!

Batteries work fine

Purchased a two pack of these batteries for my Makita drill. When they arrived, you could tell the quality was less than expected. However, both were fully charged, and they worked fine. Once the first battery ran down, I attempted to recharge. The battery fit into the charger fine, but it would not charge. I used the second battery, and it worked fine until it needed to be recharged, and I had the same result, battery would not charge. I went back to my old Makita battery, and it charged fine, however it is at its end of life and does not hold the charge very long. Learned my lesson again about buying Amazon products. Quality has significantly declined over the years.

Good value

Shorter than I expected, but because there were two I cut the second, screwed it to the first and it's working perfect on the grill

Excellent product. Would not hesitate to purchase from them again. Purchased batteries from different company and two out of two batteries would not recharge.

Exelente

Tengo un par de herramientas Makita que utilizan este modelo de batería. MIs baterías originales eran de Nikel-Cadmio y estas son De Hidruro de Metal, lo que les da mayor capacidad y la carga no genera efecto memoria en la batería. El precio es bastante razonable comparado con el precio de las originales. Muy recomendables!

Perceuse sans fils, difficile à charge, bonne charge une fois charge

Batteries work fine. Make sure you use a Ni-Mh charger for these. If you use the Makita Ni-Cad charger that came with the tool these are intended for, they will overheat and be damaged. Amazon has one for 19.95 if you look carefully and batteries stay cool during charging. You can easily search online why you need the correct charger.
