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.

Makita will replace these batteries if they fail with under 150 charges on them, regardless of warranty, but you have to take or mail them to a Makita service center where they can read the charge count. They know they have a problem.

These batteries have a known design defect that makes them fail if they are left uncharged for a few months. The control board in the battery thinks the battery has failed, and permanently locks the battery so it won't charge in the Makita charger. It's probably still usable. You can probably charge it in an aftermarket charger, which you can find on eBay for about $60. That's cheaper than buying new batteries, so it's worth a shot if Makita won't replace them.

Is that with the 24v batteries? Where would you be? I'm in Australia, and Makita doesn't sell anything with 24v batteries here. however there seems to be a few going on the UK ebay site. I hope that helps.
