Product reviewsMakita 18V LXT 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery - BL1850B

The best choice.

The best choice to replace the old batterys.
Arrived wrapped in bubble plastic witch made me wonder what i had purchased, but it is the genuine thing. There was some lubricant on the connectors revealing that the battery is unused.
I have some 8 years old 3 amp batteries still working. Hope these new ones can beat them. Read full review...

Remember..if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!

Unfortunately (but somewhat expected) this item failed on its first outing. I fully charged it as recommended but it only lasted for about 3 minutes. I have tried to charge it again but all it does is flash red & green which on google would suggest that the fuse in the battery has blown.
A lesson learnt…you generally get what you paid for! Read full review...

As good as the real thing?

Exactly what was said on the advert. Whether the batteries are as good as the original Makita ones only time will tell, but they haven’t failed me yet when I have used them.

No good what so ever

Awful battery,lights work when they want so you dnt know how much is left by the indicator but overall it doesn't last that long so you don't even need it,my original lasts not far from a day and half but this is done in 40 mins

Waste of money

I’m only using this battery in a radio, first day it was fine and lasted the full work shift then each day it got worse and worse. By day 5 it lasted 2 hours. The battery was charged for 12 hours every night. Read full review...

absolutely junk! avoid

i have had this battery to run my makita site radio for 2 months, it now charges and gives me 15 mins in the radio, ive tried this 4 times now, and i have had no response even though it says that there is a 5 year warranty. don’t get me wrong, it’s cheap, but i thought it’d last longer than 2 months with the light use i use it for. please don’t waste your money Read full review...

Not quite right

This battery looks the part but there are a few concerning issues. First of all, it doesn't quite fit the tools, it's loose fitted and and wobbles around when attached to your beloved Makita tools. Second thing is, for a 5 amp battery, it doesn't do well on tools which need that little bit extra power such as a grinder and soon dies, then thirdly, it only takes about 5 minutes from a completely flat battery to fully charge, or at least that's what the charger thinks lolRead full review...
