In the long-run, yeah. I got a pair of batteries hat worked completely normal compared to other reviews and they worked great for a couple of months. So, if your thinking of buying this, just remember these batteries don't last 6+ months with a good charge.

Because these batteries are not made up to the standards of the Makita battery. They have wires inside them that are soldered which is very old technology. They also lack a computer chip to communicate with the Makita charger.

The batteries are a even match with the stock battery. The only problem is only after 3 months of use one of the batteries quit charging. I have yet try to get a replacement battery. There isn't any sourse of contact to get this replace. So, I suggest try another company battery and there are a few out ther you can try. I can't say get this one, once purchase you are on your own. I was on a photo shoot about a weeks time over 3,000 shots. One of them fail still good odds thou. But for the price I hope this works for you...

That is not my experience; I have 3 and the batteries have all been in since the end of April and they are fine. Last year I left them out until Oct. and tested the batteries when I took them in and they still showed a good charge. I would call customer service, they are very good and usually will replace a product on your word and provide a prepaid return label.Les L

Yes, exactly the same issue. I have not tried new batteries as the set I just put in was new and we only did one charge off of them. I agree that's pretty poor. If that's consistent, I think we'll return it for another one and see if the next is better.

Be careful! The charger will burn out as did mine when I plugged into 220 volts. I had to order another charger ($90) compatible with 220 volts. Makita was somewhat ambiguous on voltage which took to mean variable voltage.

Robert I have both and sensed it happening on both, Makita and the generic brand, I seldom use the tool long enough at any one time to find it a problem. My Makita is a 3 year old drill, the replacement generic battery is two year old. I have a Milwaukie with a lion and it just stops dead, but it does slow just for a second. I have used it for a couple years with 2 batteries. It is the 12v multitool. As to the life of the battery, I am on the originals.

Thomas, I honestly don't know how the warranty works after the 60 days. I suppose you could just work with a local reseller. It wouldn't be any different than if you bought them somewhere and then moved to wherever you currently live. I honestly didn't worry since my experience with these batteries has always been amazing. I've owned my last two for several years and I've never had a hiccup with them. I use them in a dual battery configuration in my Jeep. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

Replacement CR2032 batteries are very cheap on amazon once they eventually die out (As low as $2.25 for a two pack). Been using mine since September and still going!

No problem with them. They are a lot better than the original battery that came with my Sony camcorder. Holds a charge longer and also chargers faster. Hope this help's you.

I got a hold of the company directly and they sent me another battery. The first one died about 3 months after getting it and so did the new batteries. Love the knife but the batteries are no good. You can try ebay. Someone may have some extras.

I called WORX and they had a record of my warranty info. So they just sent me new battery and a box to put old one in to send back to them. They were real cordial--gave me the impression that these batteries fail quite often. But my replacement bat's doing fine. I recommend actually talking to them above just going online. Happy cutting!

This battery is a knock off not manufactured by Makita. Given it not a Makita battery, it may effect the charger and warranty therefore it's not approved for use by Makita.
