The 18v Makita battery and charger is a must for Makita power tool users. How would you like to be right in the middle of a project, have the power tool die on you and have no way to finish your project? You wouldn't would you? Neither would I, that is why I am going to help you find the right replacement battery for your power tool.
Let's begin with the easy part, your brand. Since you are looking for an 18v Makita battery, then I am going to assume that your power tool is 18v Makita. Next thing to consider is voltage. I could give you a little history lesson in voltage but I won't go there today. For now I will keep it simple for times sake. Voltage simply is the electrical measure of energy.
Another aspect of buying the battery best suited for your needs is looking at capacity. Let me say first that we know things don't last forever. This goes for batteries too. Some batteries, depending on how they are made, will last longer than others. But all batteries will degrade over time. If you are looking for a long lasting battery than you must consider the "capacity" of the battery.
For our purposes in finding the right replacement, there are two aftermarket batteries to look at. The first is the Makita 18V Battery. This battery has a 54% more runtime to it with a capacity of 2000 mAh (2.00Ah). To put this in perspective, the OEM(original equipment manufacturer) battery comes with a capacity of 1300 mAh (1.3 Ah). As you can see, not only does the aftermarket battery run longer, you can also accomplish more without stopping to recharge; and you can't beat the price only $57.95.
The second battery to consider is the Makita 18V EXT Battery. This battery is amazing! The capacity of this battery gives you 154% more runtime than the OEM battery that came with your power tool. How can you go wrong? This battery is only $86.95 and works in the original charger. You can spend less time charging and more time drilling!
