Endless power!:

Lithium Ion Makita battery:
This purchase was a great value. I received it promptly and it powers my model airplane starters just great. I also purchased a Makita drill that can be powered by the same battery.
Must have for the BDF452HW Compact LI-ION drill:
This is a great battery, from what i've seen so far. I recently used the battery to finish two steel roofing jobs. I was very impressed with the battery life. Only had to charge once per day and we were predrilling the holes for the TEK screws. No problems with shipping. Lot cheaper than the big box stores. Good buy.
Better safe than sorry:
I bought this as a backup for my new impact driver. The battery held it's charge through alot of screws - more than my old drill and it's backup battery combined! This would be a great gift for the 'tool junkie' in anyone's life.
