3000mAh 18V Battery Replacement for Makita 18V Battery Compatible with 18 Volt BL1830B BL1840B BL1850B BL1860B BL1815B Battery (2 Packs)

I am a professional collision repair technician, and I run these batteries hard all day. Sometime much harder than they should be run in my big drill. They the abuse, work perfectly, last all day usually, and charge quick. The last pair I bought lasted me 3+ years and I've got a couple months on the new set and they're doing great. This is an incredible value.PRO TIP: They aren't always fully charged, even when the charger and the meters say they are. Leave them on the charger to trickle and they usually have more left in them.

I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a non-name-brand battery, but this thing proved me wrong fast. Snapped right into my drill like it was made for it and held a charge longer than I expected. I’ve been swapping between two for heavy-duty projects and neither one has flinched. No overheating, no weird charging issues, just solid performance every time. It feels just as tough as the original Makita one, maybe even tougher, and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. If you’re tired of babying your tools or getting gouged on name brands, this is the one to get. I’ll be grabbing another set before these vanish.

These feel just like original Makita and work just as well. I used them with my leaf blower and they seem to last just as long as the OEM batteries, which is great, especially for the low price.

Out of the 2 batteries received. Only one would charge. Returning for a replacement, but not holding up hope.UPDATE: two new batteries arrived today. They both came 3/4 charged. I finished charging them both and both charged full. Haven’t used them yet to see how long the charge lasts, but being 6.0Ah, I’m assuming the will be good. I’ll update if my opinion changes.

Works just like my original Makita battery. Charges fast and lasts a long time. Great value and no issues so far.

I have a bunch of 18 Makita tools, a number of 5.0 OEM batteries. Also have 3.0s, 4.0s and a couple of knock off brands. In the last couple of years have added a 2X18 blower, chainsaw and weed eater.The blower is a battery hog but these seem to last longer than the 5.0 OEMs. Lots less expensive.No science here on the battery life, just a fairly strong feeling. On a long job, kept on waiting for the blower to cut out and waited and waited. Been the third time I noticed that. All good, so far.I'll update if that changes.And here is my update. These seem outlast the 5.0 Makita batteries by quite a bit. They are a bit lighter. For 2X18 tools any weight loss is great. Long lasting as far as recharge times? That rating is out, but they are about a quarter of the price.

These arrived charged and went right on to my Makita impact and circ saw. I wanted some more juice without paying $200 per battery. These 6ah batts did the job.

Very good batteries, lots of power for such an affordable price. I'm using it on my leaf blower and it is totally worth it. Had no problems running out of battery too fast or charging. Same as the original.
