| 34 of 34 people found the following review helpful  Premature battery death gets covered by extended warranty, By This review is from: Makita BL1815 18-Volt 1.5 Ah Compact Lithium-Ion Battery (Tools & Home Improvement) As many other reviewers have noted, the Makita LXT line of tools are excellent when the batteries are functioning properly. I have had 4 of the tools, with 3 batteries total, a little over a year with just occasional serious hobby use. One of my 1.5 amp-hour batteries has failed after about 6 recharge cycles, but beyond my 12 month battery warranty. The Makita service center said the battery has an internal memory counter of the number of charge cycles: mine did indeed show 5. The batteries *should* last about 1,000 charge cycles. The rep told me that if a battery has fewer than ~150 cycles, they replace it free, independent of age.I know this is not a substitute for working right the first time, but in my experience it appears Makita is making a good faith effort on the battery problem. Despite this serious blemish, I think I would make the same Makita purchase decision again. 23 of 24 people found the following review helpful  Works fine for me..., By BF (OR) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Makita BL1815 18-Volt 1.5 Ah Compact Lithium-Ion Battery (Tools & Home Improvement) I went ahead and invested in a pair of these batteries despite the mixed reviews, figuring I'd at least get a year out of them with the warranty. So far, they've performed just fine, even on tools that are supposed to only use the BL1830. I mostly use them on the BHP454 drill (note: this is one of the tools that's keyed for the 1830 pack) and BTD141 impact driver when I'm not going to be using them for long, so the decreased runtime doesn't bother me. I also use them on the angle grinder and recip saw (after removing the little tab on the tools) for light work in tight spaces. I wouldn't want them to be my only batteries, but they're a great addition to a couple of the larger batteries if you have a few tools that can use them.These slim packs are very handy on the drill, impact, and flashlight- the lighter weight and smaller size are noticeable, especially with the smaller (BDF/BHP452) drills. However, buyer beware when it comes to using them on the 'heavier' tools, as...

I've used Makita products for years and have found them to be just as rugged and reliable as competitors such as Bosch, Skil, and Milwaukee. These 18V drills just get the job done! Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the (expensive) batteries that go with this otherwise excellent drill. I don't know if the problem is the charger or the battery pak, but I've had to replace too many batteries the charger indicates as "bad". It would be one thing if the batteries only cost $15 to $25 dollars, as you'd expect them to go away on a regular basis. However, when you purchase a battery as expensive as this one, you would expect the quality and longevity to be commensurate with the cost, and such is not the case. Whatever the problem is with the battery pak (bad chip in the battery, faulty charger, or just bad battery), it gives a black eye to Makita who manufactures otherwise... Read more |
