The old cordless drill was getting weaker and weaker. The original batteries were worn out. The new 2.6ah battery gave me back the power I used to have plus longer use time. Worth while even tho I had to buy an up-to-date charger to make use of it. A lot cheaper than buying a new drill!!
If I could rate it zero that’s what I would rate it. I thought the NIMH batteries would last longer than my old NICAD batteries, but I was wrong. I have two that have been recharged about 10 times each. I did not use them every day. They would lose charge not being used. Now they will barely charge. As a matter of fact I’ve decided to give up battery operated tools because the batteries are more expensive to replace than buying a corded tool. I’d rather be tied to an extension cord. These tools where made for people who own a business and can write it off. I have two 9.6 volt Makita drills. The last I bought to get the new NIMH batteries. My first drill had the NICAD and they lasted about 10 years. I had to buy a new one and it’s lasted longer than the NIMH. It is finally giving out. I would tell anyone thinking about buying battery operated tools not to buy them.
It’s kind of like buying an ink jet printer. You can get it for a good price, but look out when you have to replace the ink cartridge. It’s almost cheaper to just buy another printer.
These companies have a racket going on with the battery operated tools. Anyone want to buy two drills? Maybe you could hook a cord to it. Actually that’s the way the battery operated tolds should be made wher you could run them on electricity. DO NOT BUY!
These batteries are the new 2.6 amp and I bought them to replace my old ones for my 9.6 volt drill and small power saw. Both of these tools now work much better being especially noticeable with the saw. The old style batteries would hardly power the saw so I rarely used it, now while working on my model train layout I will have a small portable circular saw to use. I am pleased.
These NiMH batteries are far superior to the old NiCds, even though you need to buy a new charger to use them with an older tool. These batteries seem to be able to deliver power much better at low temperatures than the newer
lithium ones, so I was able to drive screws around freezing much better with my old 9.6V Makita than the much newer 10.8V/12V Bosch PS20-2. In warmer conditions they were equal or the Bosch won.
Be SURE you have a charger that will charge a NiMH battery — many if not most standard Makita chargers will NOT!
