Title: Much better than NiCad, but not immortal
Review: I had to replace 2 of these after 2 years' LIGHT service. However, the Makita 18V tools are excellent and these batteries are much better than the NiCads that most other manufacturers supply. I bought the more expensive Makita tool set because of the NiMH batteries and I have no regrets, even though the replacement batteries are more expensive -- their use and service is sufficiently better (IMHO) to justify the price.
Is the review positive or negative?
