  • When I’ve been looking recently, £68~ was the cheapest I could find a 5ah makita battery. But then FFX had a sale and I nabbed 2x 6ah batteries for £149.

    Be careful as there are lots of knock off makita batteries around - and while compatible, aren’t of the same quality and won’t last as long. I’m also unsure if they have the same overload protection.

  • I wasn’t sure about some of the sites selling the Makita batteries for £20 less than everyone else. Looked a bit suss.

    The knock off batteries don’t give anything like the same run time. My brushless combi drill chewed through a 4ah knock off in about 30 mins.
