Mikita 14.4v battery 2-pack:
The product came within a week. The batteries are new, in original packaging. I charged them and have been using them with no indications that they will not perform like the original batteries. So far this has been a great find.
Great Price! Great packs!:
I checked these battery packs at my local specialty tool store..$86.00 a piece!!
I saved lots of green on Amazon..!! Thanks
Not holding a charge well:
I bought these to replace my stock batteries that came with my drill/driver kit. They don't hold a charge nearly as long as the original ones did. Maybe I got a bum package but it is too late to return as I used the heck out of them for a job I needed them for. At least they were cheap. If I hadn't labeled them, I probably wouldn't be able to tell which were the old worn out batteries and which were the new ones.

Makita 194157-8 1434 14.4-Volt 2.6 Amp Hour NiMH Pod Style Battery, 2 Pack
I purchased the makita 14.4 impact driver kit with two batteries 3years ago. With only modest intermittment use, one of the batteries failed. In May 2008 I purchased the two pack. Again after only moderate use one of the new batteries failed. I like the power and performance of the unit and the batteries(when they are working) but was very disappointed in the battery life on 2 of the 4 batteries. But rather than buy new... more info
