Makita battery compatibility? Are they close enough to work in the same drill???

Makita does not sell the 1233 anymore either. In Ni-MH good with the charger you have, I would think you can use the 1234. I found inexpensive batteries at http://www.batterydepot.com/battery/PT-0810/MAKITA/POWERTOOLS I THINK the more amps, the longer the battery will last, but you might call Makita at 714-522-8088 just to make sure ...

I've found the 36V battery to be a little lighter and seems to run slightly longer, (about one minute on a full charge) than the 18VX2 battery in my Makita Chain Saw or Blower. The nice thing about the 18VX2 battery adapter is that it is "Star 18V", which means it should be able to use the new 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah 18 volt batteries Makita is coming out with.

If you mean the 18v Makita drill, then this is the one. There is no other drill on the market, none, that can do the same things the Makita 18v can do. Be sure to get the drill wight he Lithium batteries. Awesome product, he'll absolutely love it. You're a very nice and understanding wife!

I would check with Makita but I'm sure it is the same. This charger is amazing; fastest one I've had in the 20 some years of cordless everything. Full charge in 15 minutes!

Yes, I have an older drill also, the newer battery does fit. Mine is an 18 volt.

those are the same batteries. BL1830-2 is just a 2 pack 3.0ah 18V battery. You can use the tool with 3.0 and 4.0ah 18V makita batteries. It has a limiting bar that will not let it work with the 1.5ah 18V(BL1815) batteries. You can get around this and get the battery to fit but not recommended as the 1.5ah packs only have 5 18650 cells inside and due to the tools power you can lower the SOC of individual cells too fast causing the pack to brick(ask me how we know)

The battery will work with the drill driver. Just exercise caution in the use of the tool as it is very powerful. Best wishes, Henry.

If your current battery is the same attaching system to drill, not the little slide on type it should snap right in without any issues

Yes it's compatible as long as it's the lithium 12V battery. I share the batteries between my drill and this driver.

More than likely the battery will only work with the bolt on series , it does interchange with craftsman however, and appears to be the same company that makes them both. I own the craftsman bolt on drill and impact and it has serious power/ speed. Not crazy about the white trim on the Black and Decker battery, trigger, and chuck.

Hey Chris , the battery did not for my drill. I just leave the charges battery in the drill. Not sure if this is correct.

Sorry, was curious so checked out Makitas site. The Specs all seem the same, part breakdowns show different part numbers though. Only difference I saw was when you buy the kit one is a bag the other a hard plastic case.

some B&D; batteries interchange with Dewalt but I"m not sure of the model #'s, you can cross reference by part #s or model #s of your drill at a battery distributer

These batteries do not fit well in Makita tools or chargers and they will not be warrantied by Makita

While I am pleased and happy with the new 12 Volt drill, I have not tried it for the use you describe, but it is a strong drill. If I were buying one today and did not already have any other drills, I would go for the 18 Volt Ion battery Makita. I already had an 18 volt as well as a 12 volt drill and this one I recently bought was to replace an older 12 volt Makita that is now about 10 years old. It was still running but I gave it to my son--Makita's are great drills.

This is the larger (longer) battery that FITS the Makita power drill ("7x2x1") -- works great -- shape is flat circular -- specific dimensions here are not relevant --
