So you are looking at replacing your 18 volt Makita battery? You have come to the right place. Let's start with some basic important information. Knowing your brand is simple: Makita. And you already know the voltage: 18v. Voltage is key to power your device. Voltage is the rate at which energy produces a flow of electricity.
Now you need to find out the chemistry of the OEM battery that came with your power tool. Is it Li-ion (which is lithium) or if it is NICD (which is nickel cadmium). The chemistry will be marked like this: Li-ion or NICD. Did you find it?
Great now we can move on to the battery capacity. Capacity quantifies the total amount of energy stored within the battery. Wouldn't you like to have the next battery you buy last longer between charges? If so, this means buying a battery with the capability of a longer runtime. For instance, with this aftermarket 18 volt battery, you get at least 54% more runtime than with the original Makita battery.
Capacity is labeled like this for the 18 volt Li-ion battery: 3000mAh (3.0 Ah) which gives you 100% more runtime. The label for the 18 volt NICD battery is: 2000mAh (2.00 Ah) which gives you 54% more runtime. How about that for a savings!
