why did I have battery failure in less than year of use

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.

It works just like the factory battery. No problems at and fits great. Plus you can't beat the price. Great buy. I don't know why it failed on you unless you kept it stored ina hot place or cold batteries need to be pretty stable temps because they take a lose of power when this happens and it can ruin the battery. I have had this happen to me with 3 batteries in my garage. I live in a cold climate and i decided to move my Makita kit to the basement my batteries last allot longer now, and I fixed the problem. I hope this helps you. same thing goes with my motorcycle. I have to keep a battery trickler on it to keep it warm and small amount of power going into it during the winter or I will loose it. K take care, and I hope I have helped you out.

I would say the battery is defective i have had both types of battery's which lasted three to four years EasyI prefer only Mikita I on lithium

I am probably not the one to ask as my battery failed in less that a month. The Makita battery charging is aided with communications between the battery and charger. I suspect the manufacturer has not fully cloned the electronics of the original battery.

It could possibly mean that you are using the wrong type of battery. (li-ion vs NIMH)

There could be one of two reasons for this.Usually it means that the battery is defective, or has become ineffective. Some batteries get to this point quicker than others.There is also a slight chance that the charger has gone bad

no more than I year, the battery was dead when I received it and would not take a charge, I sent the battery back to Amazon, who would not cover it unless I sent the phone back as well, I did not want to wait that long and bought a replacement battery locally , not please with that ordeal!

Mine lasted around 9 months before the battery was limited to a maximum of 60% charged

That is a very technical question well beyond my ken. I have never had a battery failure with this brand in three years of use

I don't know! I haven't had any problems with my battery. I had mine since oct. Perhaps you can have them shipped another one ? The only things is the shipping cost more than the battery. Hopefully it's not the device. I had my LG phone for years I'm surprised it still works.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I don't know but I will say that my device tanked after less than a year. Don't recommending.

By wife had a problem like that to. it was the port on her phone that was bad. we have had our phones for little over 1 year now. the batteries that i had got from here have worked just fine,

I can not answer for sure since I have not had this problem. I would think you have a bad connection in that battery loop

Unfortunately, I can't help on this one. After I received the new battery - ahead of schedule, I might add - I determined that it was not a battery failure which caused my cell phone to fail. It was the phone itself. Sorry I cannot help.

I had my unit for more than a year. Lost the ability to charge. Called tech support, was told the battery was dead. No solution. I stick with battery operated lights now thanks to two rechargables going bad (the other was a different brand).

We are having the same issue. Been using almost every day for over a year, and even after changing the battery there are issues. The battery case actually is corroding inside! Want to contact company to see suggested lifespan. Otherwise, we've loved it so far!!!

I am not sure. But what happend in my case I was having to recharge the battery more often. Then finally the unit would not work. So it could be either one. But I suspect it would be the battery

My battery began losing charge after 9 mo. It is now exactly 1 year since I purchased it and it runs for 20 minutes. I did the reset thing but same result.

Well, this unit is just bad. Send it back, have another one sent out. I've had mine at least 3 years, maybe more and I use it for all things with batteries. It's been a good unit, your unit is just bad.
