MAKITA Power Tool Battery Articles & Tips:
Are 3rd Party MAKITA Batteries Compatible to My MAKITA Charger?
Global's 3rd party power tool batteries were designed to work with your OEM MAKITA battery charger. Most of our power tool batteries are made with the same Japanese battery cells used in OEM batteries with the highest industry standards. Global's batteries are designed to original manufacturer's specifications, and will meet or exceed original MAKITA batteries and not void manufacturer's warranty.
How can I maximize the performance of my MAKITA battery?
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your power tool battery:
Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the power tool battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Keep the MAKITA Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.
Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a MAKITA battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the MAKITA battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects.

If my original power tool battery is a NiCD battery, can I use a different chemistry battery?
That would depend on both your charger and power tool. A lot of chargers will charge NiMH batteries, and a few others will charge Li-Ion. However, even if your charger will do this, your MAKITA power tool might not. It is best in these situations, to check your user manual or contact the manufacture to find out the technical specs of your model.
