Most helpful customer reviews9 of 11 people found the following review helpful."High Capacity" is RelativeBy A Customer1.7AH is no longer "High Capacity". Be careful about which type of battery your 12V Makita takes--thumb springs, end clip, both, or the new MForce slide design. If yours can take the thumb spring batteries, then spend $... more on the 2.0AH version. Your old charger will likely take it but may not take the newest NiMH batteries. Plus, the NiCd's have a longer shelf life.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.My 5 stars to balance the unfair 2 star rating!By Nic PradaThe 2 star review is unfair because I suppose he expects the manufacturer to pull all the batteries that say "high capacity" on them and trash em or whatever because there's newer technology available. Here's some actual information about my experience with this battery. I've had 4 Makita 6311d's as my main guns in my cabinet shop and I use em every day and have for years. All 6 batteries are still working quite well but for some loss of power due to me using the wrong charger for the last year or so.I do appreciate the advice regarding the newer 2.0 etcetera but to give 2 stars to a fine battery because it's outdated is just wrong. I suppose last year's model Ferrari should get 2 stars since there's a newer version available! (just an example of the ludicrous review; i don't know what's available in the Ferrari department) I have an old Ford Model "A". Maybe I should dump it in the river since there's newer technology available. Nothin' like a Taurus, eh?! The Victrola's outta here!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Excellent BatteryBy BobThis is a genuine Makita battery. Other batteries are often advertised in a way that makes you think they are Makita. This battery was installed in an impact wrench that I have had for years and it worked perfectly. It charges quickly and has plenty of strength. It is a replacement for the original model of Makita battery and fits and works fine in my wrench.See all 5 customer reviews...
