Battery problem for the Makita 18v 8443D cordless drill

Hi - one of the batteries a DWF NiMh 3.0 Ah does not seem to accept a charge - I have followed all instructions to the letter including those about battery care. There does not seem to be a special circuit for discharging the battery - I supose you just run it flat. Any ideas?

    18volt lithium ion; cordless drill



    I have gone through 2 batterys in this past year; Mikita has replaced each one. Now the third battery is failing; my year is up. I am not a contractor, I use the drill casually, a couple of times a week. There is no Makita factory site to complain to; so I guess I will go back to DeWalt or porter cable and hope for the best. My old dewalt(14,4volt nicad) lasted about 4years. What can I say?

What type of battery pack Ni-Cad? if not then you don't have to dis-charge it, only Nicad's need to be run flat.

Can you fix a lithium battery?
The Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Cordless Impact Driver Kit Model BTD140 us the BL1830 battery, there are several types for it, 1.5Ah, 3.0Ah, 4.0 Ah. Maybe 5.0Ah battery for it will be available. And, the inside of the BL1830 uses the 18650 battery cell. If you have a good knowledge and skill about electronic, you can buy some 18650 cell to do it yourself. If not, I suggest you to buy a brand new one.

You can buy some original battery for replacement battery for Makita BTD140 Battery

Does makita 14.4 3.0ah work with makita 14.4 2.6ah drill
If the battery fits in the tool normally, without forcing it, yes both batteries will work in your tool. The AH (Ampere Hours) rating on batteries is a measurement of how long the battery will last on a full charge. Higher AH ratings means the battery lasts longer on a charge but usually at the expense of a slightly larger and heavier battery.

I have an 18v Milwaukee drill. Can I use a 28v charger to charge the 18v battery
Generally, When your have the 18V milwaukee drill, you had better to use the same voltage battery charger to charge the battery. it will be more safe.

One question please, I have makita cordlless
according to the schematic I saw yes you can and I think that you will be pleased with its performance, their operator manual even lists the weight of tool with this battery. Makita has a 1 year limited warranty on the Li-Ion battery that you might want to consider if you have the receipt.

Hi my makita 18v impact driver seems to be getting alot weaker throughout the years, still works but no enough torqe
Lithium batteries have a limited lifespan, typically 3 or 4 years, and their capacity between charges decreases over the years.
To extend the lifetime of a battery it should be run completely flat after every few charges rather than topping it up. New batteries need to be charged several times and run flat under normal use before they gain their full capacity.

Makita cordless driver drill model-6347d. ni-mh rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery 1834 18v 2.6ah will not stay charged. battery charter dc 1804- works great.
You say will not stay charged? Over what time period? Are you aware Nicad and NiMh rechargeables discharge naturally at 1% per day so where does that leave your power tool after 3 months? Furthermore they only have around 1000 charges in their useful life so you can immediately see how these tools are not for intermittent(ie handyman) use.

Makita dc1804f charger will not charge new i-mh 1834 18v battery
I think your tryiong to charge NIMH batteries oon a charger designed for Lithium Ion batteries. With all the new style batteries such as NICAD, NIMH and LI-ION, charging becomes difficult. Most chargers pre NIMH and LI-ion, were designed for NICAD's. The best advise, match your batteries with the correct charger
