I’m a purist/snob/paranoid.
I don’t know if the knock offs have the same cut off capability. Don’t want to shag tools/batteries.
I got a 1.5Ah Makita lookalike, to see how they faired before getting two replacement 5Ah.
It's a good time likeness for the packs without the led indicators and seems to charge, click in and work OK.
However I don't think the BMS is a good as the originals, as you can still use the tools to the point where they slow down to a crawl, whereas the Makita cuts out before its completely flat. I doubt it will last as long as the originals, as Makita put a lot of their efforts into the motor/battery/charger.
