 Poor Battery LIfe October 23, 2009

I bought this 18 volt LXT drive just over a year ago. It's light weight and charge life is great. It drives screws like nothing I've ever seen! A 3" drywall screw can be drive clear through a 2X4. Unfortunately, there's a serious problem. I've now purchased four batteries for this driver and have one left that will hold a charge. If you've checked the battery price, you'll know they aren't in a price range where you can afford to discard them after only a year or less! Charge life is great but battery life is TERRIBLE! I use this driver for home use not commercial, although I do use it more than most homeowners are likely to.
I wish there was a fix for this. I love the driver and would be happy to buy other LXT tools if only I could afford the batteries. Does anyone know of a way around this LXT killer problem?

I replaced a 14.4 Milwaukee NiCad with a Makita LXT and noticed that my old Milwaukee NiCads outlasted these in terms of longevity. Run time is solid, but lifespan is short. Two dead after one year, I'm only a homeowner. I've only done a few lengthy jobs such as putting cement board down in a 10x20 room, and building a deck with these, in addition to the other basic tasks of drywall, and other light construction needs. Love the light weight though. Now, I need new ones. Somewhat disappointing.
 Great battery October 12, 2009

I bought this battery so I would have three batteries in my Makita Combo-pack. I got tired of needing to swap a battery from the other drill when one went dead, and this has solved that problem perfectly. I was even able to find a little space in the case to fit it in (although it's a rather tight fit.) These batteries are great, and they pack a tremendous amount of power. I'll have to see how they hold up in the long term, but right now, I'm very happy with how these batteries hold their charge and how long they keep going.

I have been buying and using Makita battery tools for over 20 years. I started with the 7.2volt drill. I still have it and it still works well. I am a contractor and use my tools every day. I have tried other brands but always sell or give them away and come back to Makita. I am hoping that Makita doesn't let the Chinese downgrade their products. I recently upgraded to the 18 volt li-ion from the 14.2 volt units and am very pleased. The feel and operation of the tools is excellent. Will buy more Makita as needed or wanted.
