Makita BL1041B 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah Battery, Black

Great upgrade from the original small battery. I do robotic installations almost weekly all over the US and Canada, one original battery would last me an install, usually two whole days, but, if I had to drill extra holes, then I would have to charge it (not a big deal at all since it only takes about 15 to 20minutes max to charge 100%). With this big boy, not only it would last me for the whole workweek but, you also get a lot more torque so careful if you use the impact drill! -as ai do- It will be more powerfull, but nothing "uncontrolable" if you are a pro. To charge it from dead to 100% takes about 45 mins to an hour, so on the third day when I go to lunch I just leave it charging and that will be more than enough, with no down time due to the drill at all. So, if you want a more "dependable" battery life and more output power, this is it. Since I was not used to the led charge indicating bar, I barely use it and just go more by "feeling" and experience than pressing the little button to know how much charge still has... so I barely do that, specially since I know it will last me for a while. ***Note***if you are a road warrior: you might know this by now but I always test my drill as soon as I get to my Customer's facility cause it has happened that the drill gets activated while on the plane and by the time I land, the battery could be dead... to prevent this from happening probably about 95%, put the button for the drill direction in the middle, where the drill will not go forward or backwards when you press the trigger on it.

I bought this as a third spare since I've been doing a lot of housework. Great quality and life.

Se ves bien, pero aún no lo e probado, lo acabo de recibir, gracias

Good

Received battery in perfect condition & earlier than expected. Packed well, worked as expected.

Fits in my tools just as well as the batteries that came with the tools did. Came with 2 bars of charge. I bought one of the "used" offerings from warehouse deals. Looks like someone may have ordered the wrong battery, just an opened package. Nothing shady about it, official makita gear which I've had good luck with in the last year or so with my cxt drill/driver.

Very good product and delivered as stated.

Good little battery my lights last twice as long as the 2Ah.Very expensive but if you need more run time this is what you need.
