Great batteries
I got a 9.6 volt kit back in 1996, drill driver -- 2 batteries and charger.
all of it is still going strong after 12 YEARS! I now charge all my batteries in my makita 7.2 volt to 18 volt charger. all OK there.

I now have 2 9.6 volt driver drills and 2 18 volt drills -- all makita.
P.S. Based on my experience with BRAND X knock-off batteries for my panasonic drivers -- they SUCK! BIGGER and shorter charge life.

I heartily recommend getting the REAL thing.

What a difference a new battery makes!
Not much to say about a battery but after using my current batteries for 18 years now, the charge doesn't hold well. Now having the new battery, I may go ahead and get another one since the charge lasts much longer and gives the drill more power longer. Don't wait too long to get a new battery and struggle through with low power and frequent rechargings!

makita battery
Amazon was great, they shipped quickly and did everything they promised. However, I think the battery has been sitting on a shelf somewhere in a wharehouse and it does not charge as well as the original one. Someone else said the simliar thing in their review, but I proceeded to buy hoping it was an isloated insident. I now wish I follwed the others recommendtion of buying a new modern drill with much better power.

Battery to the Max
These batteries last for years. I bought two so I can have one charging at all times which allows me a constant flow of power to my Makita tools. As Ernie Banks once said "it's such a wonderful day, let's play (buy) two".

Wrong battery
The battery shown is not the battery for this item number. This battery does not have the side buttons needed for some drills including the 6226D.
