At least they were cheap. Maybe I got a bum package but it is too late to return as I used the heck out of them for a job I needed them for. If I hadn't labeled them, I probably wouldn't be able to tell which were the old worn out batteries and which were the new ones. I bought these to replace my stock batteries that came with my drill/driver kit. They don't hold a charge nearly as long as the original ones did.
Again after only moderate use one of the new batteries failed. Makita 194157-8 1434 14.4-Volt 2.6 Amp Hour NiMH Pod Style Battery, 2 PackI purchased the makita 14.4 impact driver kit with two batteries 3years ago. But rather than buy new equipment, I am buying another 2 pack from Amazon as their price and service is very good. I like the power and performance of the unit and the batteries(when they are working) but was very disappointed in the battery life on 2 of the 4 batteries. With only modest intermittment use, one of the batteries failed. In May 2008 I purchased the two pack.
IN ALL I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT SOME CHARGED ALMOST THE SAME PRICE FOR A SINGLE BATTERY THAN AMAZON FOR TWO PACK. FIRST, IT PERFORMED WELL. ONCE FULLY CHARGED IT LASTED LONGER THAN I EXPECTED, AND AFTER TWO WEEKS OF NOT USING IT, IT DRAINED ALMOST NONE.SECOND THE PRICE, IS UNBELIEVABLY CHEAPER IN A TWO PACK.
I was happy to get two for the price of one elsewhere. The items came as two batteries packed in their original packaging.
