Maybe I got a bum package but it is too late to return as I used the heck out of them for a job I needed them for. I bought these to replace my stock batteries that came with my drill/driver kit. They don't hold a charge nearly as long as the original ones did. At least they were cheap. If I hadn't labeled them, I probably wouldn't be able to tell which were the old worn out batteries and which were the new ones.
Makita 194157-8 1434 14.4-Volt 2.6 Amp Hour NiMH Pod Style Battery, 2 PackI purchased the makita 14.4 impact driver kit with two batteries 3years ago. Again after only moderate use one of the new batteries failed. With only modest intermittment use, one of the batteries failed. In May 2008 I purchased the two pack. I like the power and performance of the unit and the batteries(when they are working) but was very disappointed in the battery life on 2 of the 4 batteries. But rather than buy new equipment, I am buying another 2 pack from Amazon as their price and service is very good.
FIRST, IT PERFORMED WELL. ONCE FULLY CHARGED IT LASTED LONGER THAN I EXPECTED, AND AFTER TWO WEEKS OF NOT USING IT, IT DRAINED ALMOST NONE.SECOND THE PRICE, IS UNBELIEVABLY CHEAPER IN A TWO PACK. SOME CHARGED ALMOST THE SAME PRICE FOR A SINGLE BATTERY THAN AMAZON FOR TWO PACK. IN ALL I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT
The items came as two batteries packed in their original packaging. I was happy to get two for the price of one elsewhere.
