About this deal
NiCad batteries are more tolerant than NiMH, and while early Li-ion were susceptible, Makita’s LXT batteries handle the cold surprisingly well. Makita PA18 batteries will be dispatched within 24 hours(except weekends and holidays) and shipped from United Kingdom. However, they are different from other batteries in that the discharge has to be controlled with current limiting devices or they will rapidly discharge, overheat and catch fire or explode.
A short while won’t make much difference, but don’t leave batteries in the charger for any longer than necessary after they’ve reached full charge. The battery cells in some brands we looked at are made by Samsung, a well-known and trusted manufacturer, so we have no problem recommending a variety of non-Makita replacements.These batteries are more powerful and longer lasting than NiCd batteries, but they’re also more expensive, and care is needed when charging them to maintain performance. The problem might be obvious, sometimes they over heat and desolder a connection, or there is an obvious point where an arc/short has occurred.
A. Makita warns that non-genuine batteries could perform poorly, catch fire, damage the charger, and so on. Our aggressive pricing allows us to distribute only the freshest batteries ensuring you receive the best performing batteries available.
Please charge the battery as soon as the tool begins to work more slowly, or the low battery indicator comes on. If you want maximum performance and durability, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries always beat nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH).
