Query: Better than original

This is my second battery. I've replaced both my 5 year old Makita (NiMi)batteries with these. They work better than the original Makitas which did not hold their charge in cold weather and where kind of lame in holding their charge. This battery makes my Makita drill seam like brand new again. Excellent product and works well with the Makita charger. I should add that power tools have come down considerably since I bought my Makita. I can get an entire 4 piece professional tool set with 3 batteries for about the same price that I paid for a drill, a flash light and 2 batteries, and with a heck of a lot more power to boot. I still love my Makita drill though. And the flashlight bulb is 5 years old and has never been replaced.
