Powerful 14.4V (2.6Ah) Nickel Metal Hydride battery delivers 30% longer run time than competive brands .

I purchased this Battery for a 10 year old Makita cordless drill because the NiCad batteries weren't viable anymore. After receiving it from Amazon I wasn't able to charge it in the charger I had with the drill. After some online research I found out you have to have a special charger to charge the NiMh battery. So I purchased the needed charger from Amazon also, however two weeks went by between getting the NiMh battery , having to order the new special charger and receiving the charger to finally use. Amazon Handled it very well and even gave me a $10 credit on account for the inconvenience of of not being informed on "the battery information page" about the need for the special charger.

The NiMh Pod style Battery is excellent, Very powerful , much more than the NiCad battery. The Charger I bought to go with it charges the battery surprisingly quick. I recommend this battery. Be sure to get the recommended battery charger to go with it. So look up your drill model and make sure you have the correct charger before ordering the NiMh battery or order it with the battery. Makita DC1804 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod Style and Stick Style 3 Hour Battery ChargerIts worth it!

Fits right, and works properly. Came in the sealed factory packaging. Its important to note that this is not compatable with the older style drills that used a smaller 12v? batter, offen colored red, and will not fit in those drills.

My old batteries were dying, and instead of buying a new drill, I opted for a new battery. I was pleasantly surprised that the amperage was increased from 2.2 Ah to 2.6 Ah. A nearly 40% increase that has proven to be very useful around the house. The only drawback to these batteries is the grey plastic upper piece is rather brittle and cracks relatively easily.

Batteries holding up very strong & have yet to charge them after two weeks of frequent use.A+++++++++++ Made in China (just like makita gun & original battery)

When I received my 1434 battery and read the packaging (Virgos always read the packaging), my DC1414 battery charger was not listed as one compatible with the 1434 battery. However, Makita assured me it was, so I opened the package, charged the battery, and hoooray! My Makita variable speed leaf blower is working like new.
