More capacity, great price:
My old batteries were dying, and instead of buying a new drill, I opted for a new battery. I was pleasantly surprised that the amperage was increased from 2.2 Ah to 2.6 Ah. A nearly 40% increase that has proven to be very useful around the house. The only drawback to these batteries is the grey plastic upper piece is rather brittle and cracks relatively easily.
holds excellent charge:
Batteries holding up very strong & have yet to charge them after two weeks of frequent use.A+++++++++++ Made in China (just like makita gun & original battery)
Replacement Battery Pod Works:
When I received my 1434 battery and read the packaging (Virgos always read the packaging), my DC1414 battery charger was not listed as one compatible with the 1434 battery. However, Makita assured me it was, so I opened the package, charged the battery, and hoooray! My Makita variable speed leaf blower is working like new.
No problems yet...:
Batteries arrived wraped in Makitas plastic packaging. Batteries are manufactured in Mexico. My last set of batteries were made in Japan and lasted about 2 years. Only time will tell if these hold up. So far so good.
