I purchased two 6.0Ah batteries. When they arrived, they were lighter than a genuine 3.0Ah battery I had purchased the week prior (to double the capacity, there either needs to be double the number of cells or use the same number of cells, but use cells with with double the capacity, which are generally heavier - check 18650 battery specs if you want to verify this). I fully charged them and then used them along with the 3.0Ah battery. Neither of the 6.0Ah batteries lasted as long as the 3.0Ah battery and one failed after the first use. The failed battery shows up as fully charged whilst in the charger, but theres no response when attempting to use it in a power tool.

Ok few words about this batteries. First They have got less capacity like original 3ah Makita batteries definitely not 6ah. That's joke. Second you can use them with impact battery drill even in grinder they will work but try to use them in more powerfool tool disaster. I put them to Makita circular saw and after 40 cm cutting in 18mm MDF just smoke caming aut from batteries and end of story. Battery dead. I recommend them to somebody who's doing small things in hause not to one whu use them all day at work.

I've been using these batteries for 3 months on and off, including two cut roof projects so they have had a very thorough testing. They last approximately twice as long as my original 3AH Makita battery so the 6AH seems to be accurate. The charge remaining indicators are so helpful, a really good feature that the cheaper alternatives don't have. They are slightly stiffer to remove from tools but they loosen with use so that's a good thing. The peace of mind with the warranty means these really are a great investment at half the price of the originals.

T hese batteries look nothing like the pictures advertised! They are vanon batteries! They are supposed to be 6ah they look and feel exactly the same as my 5ah vanon batteries! So far they take a charge although I bought these thinking they would have the Indicator so I knew when to re-charge? Will keep them though I wouldn't buy again. Cheap!
Poor quality. Discharge very quickly and two of the four batteries purchased wont recharge after first use. A total waste of money. Will go back to purchasing the genuine batteries for my tools.
The actual capacity is disappointing being about 3Ahr (measured at 0.5A for 6 hours) rather than the 5Ahr claimed, but other than that, they work just fine. Big saving over the genuine Makita battery, and they work on a Makita charger. Be aware they dont have the four charge status indicator lights that you get on Makitas.
The package arrived promptly and was well packed. After completing the charge overnight, it all fitted well to the power tool and worked fine. Being early days, it's too soon to tell but with the battery still holding a full charge after ten days, I'm hoping that it has a long, useful and uneventful life ahead, and all at a good price.
Items did not fit either of the two Makita chargers, one of which was recommended by the supplier when I initially advised them of this failure. Even when the batteries were fitted to the tools they did nit fit the docking unit of the Makita tool. On examition of the design of the connection section it became obvios that there were several minor design changes which were the apparent issue. These units are poorly designed and therefore it is a case of "do not purchase"
This drill is really Top Class - with the 1/2" Drill Chuck having a strong slow speed & a high top speed for those small drills and for sanding. The main body of the drill is larger to help with extra power. This drill sits in the hand quite comfortably & with a 5 or 6 Amp battery this is a really Top Class Drill.
I purchased 4 of these 6ah batteries and none of them can be charged in either of the so called compatible chargers. Broken cells in all four batteries. I tried 4 different chargers and they all indicated broken cells. The makita batteries in the picture are not what I received. The so called 5 year warranty is a lie! Im out of pocket $149 and I threw the batteries away because they dont work. DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!
