Review on Power Up Your Tools With 3.0Ah 18V BL1830B Battery Replacement For Makita Lithium-Ion Batteries With LED Indicator by Jeffrey Dunn

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Battery does not hold a charge

I can only drive about 10 1" screws before the battery loses its charge. I have 2 different chargers that still charge the only remaining Makita battery I still have, so it is NOT the chargers. Unfortunately I am outside the window to return these inadequate batteries. Also, since Makita has discontinued this battery, I am forced to purchase after market batteries from other vendors. I would urge Walmart to reconsider using this vendor for these batteries. I will order more batteries from a different vendor and make sure to evaluate them in enough time to return them if necessary.

Pros
  • As expected.
Cons
  • The LED indicator may be prone to breakage or malfunction, rendering it useless
