Negative Positive
Title: Made in China battery died after 2 years of light usage.
Review: Purchased Makita cordless impact driver, cordless drill and flashlight. Original two batteries made in Japan died after 4 years of heavy duty usage. I liked impact driver so I purchased replacement Makita battery which was made in China. I was worried when I got the battery. Well, I was right about worrying. Japanese cells are much better than Chinese cells. The replacement Makita made in China battery lasted only 2 years of light duty usage. Lately, my impact driver lacked power when I charged the battery. Today my charger said that the battery is damaged.I am really upset that Makita charges over $60 and now $70 for low quality made in China battery.I purchased Upstart battery rated at 3.3Ah instead of Makita's 2.6Ah. I am big fan of Makita but battery does not measure up to Makita name.
