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 have an LXT alike Lenoge branded 1.5ah battery.
There doesn't seem to be any low voltage protection built in, or its very low. The tools slow down and die, rather than stop while still working acceptably like the makita battery.

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.
