Hey Walt, some people have tried putting their rechargeable batteries in the freezer to try and extend the life of the batteries. I've only heard that this solution has had limited results (may or may not work). The biggest problem with rechargeable batteries is that they have a life cycle, (can only be recharged, depending on the battery, a few hundred times to maybe several hundred times, and then they will no longer hold a charge). Try contacting Makita and inquire about getting new batteries. They may still carry them. Otherwise, it maybe time to invest in a new drill. Sorry that that I can't offer a better solution but people have tried just about everything they can think of to increase the life of their batteries and have not succeeded.

Makita battery

Check that you have the correct battery in the charger as the charger will not charge any type of battery, only the battery type listed on the panel.

Have you checked the voltage at the batry when running? Sounds like alternator is not working properly. The battry is only used for starting, once started the alternator runs all the accesories & charges the battry. If not chargeing the vehicle will **** battry power. You may have a good battry surface voltage but a bad battry. The battry should be load tested as well.

Maybe there is something wrong with the charger itself. If you have a friend that has the same drill try to charge the battery on his charger.

A 12 volt battery needs about 13.5 volts to reach a full charge. It should stay at what ever voltage you bring it up to, with no load connected.
Most gate controls are solar charged and should be fine under normal circumstances.
Charge the battery with a regular 'automotive' type charger and then test it with a few cycles, open and closing gate.
Also check voltage from charger at gate...

I have a mikita 12 volt and when I charge it it wont hold charge.

do you have a volt meter toi check the charger voltage? if so then read the voltage out of the charger, it should be 1 or 2 volts higher than the listing 12v would be 13 or 14 volts. if it's working you probally do have a bad battery. if the charger is out then you have a bad charger.

The charger you need is Makita charger DC1801. If you do a search for "DC1801" on ebay you will find heaps of those chargers on there!

The DC1801 charger will charge the 6347D 18v 2Ah Makita NiCad pod-style battery.

Problem charging makita batteries 18v li-ion

Unfortunately, Makita’s li-ion battery packs have a design flaw. After having the same problem with my two batteries, I took it apart and saw the problem immediately. You see each battery pack has ten li-ion battery cells and a circuit board with a memory chip witch holds the charging history of the battery pack. But that memory chip constantly draws power from 2 of the 10 batteries. The current it draws is very small but if you consider it over 8 month or more, the power drain becomes very significant. You end up with a battery pack with 8 still fully charged battery cells and 2 drained battery cells. When you put this battery pack in the charger, it detects weak battery cells, assumes they are defective and refuses to charge. To avoid this problem you should charge your battery pack often, even if you haven't used it, every two months should be ok.
I suspect that Makita doesn’t make these battery packs, they make power tools, good ones too. Buy Makita should definitely have a few words with their supplier before they become a liability!
