does this drill use the 1830 3.0 amp battery or something different

it requires the makita li-on 3 amp battery. great workhorse of a drill. ive not tried off brand batteries. i get 2-4 years a battery with 3 plus times use a week

Yes, 3.0. I guess there is an aftermarket 4.0 too. Fyi the 1.5 amp hour does NOT fit. But this is a serious drill. I sprained my wrist when a hole saw caught on me in low speed.

Yes it does.1830 is a 3 AH (amper hours) battery and not 3 Amp, 1815 is a 1.5 AH battery and both are 18V.What I want to say is, it can use both, only that the 1815 lasts half as much as the 1830. I use and have only 1830 batteries.

The data plate on the drill I purchased says 7.8 amps and is labeled as a DW511.

The battery packaged with the drill has a 22W rating. Basically, it's an 1.1A battery. The battery I ordered from Amazon has a 2.0A rating. I had to be careful not to get 1.5A batteries like they sell at my local "box" stores. There is a two battery package on Amazon that have the 1.5A rating. I needed the duration more than the quantity. That is until I have the weedeater, leafblower and chainsaw, then I will want duration with quantity. The only acceptably priced 4.0A battery I could find was on Amazon.

The drill listed on Amazon is offered with one battery. This drill was sold with one battery and with 2 batteries. I purchased the kit with two batteries (SSL20SB-2) at Home Depot three years ago - it is rarely seen. Check the Black & Decker website to see their recent offerings (20V Li system). B&D; has moved on to a different battery which charges more quickly. The older batteries should work with the newer tools.

No, this drill uses the M18 series batteries, which are lithium-ion. THe one you posted is the old NiCD stuff. Once you switch to Lithium you'll never look back.

Yes. My dad got a drill combo set and it came with the 1.5 20v battery which he said didn't last long. I bought the 3.0 20v for longer usage. You can also check on lowes.com if u want.

I use the 4.0 AH battery all the way back to X2 tools.. this is wen the 1/2 in driver drill impact driver could give a big red a run for its money .. today's rigid tools are emerson crap emerson dont pay out to keep up in the battery game like other mfgrs do so they on back end of battery tech.. gotta pay to play.. 69 bux for a 4.0 ah battery with three yr warranty aint to bad they at store now just bought two..

Yes the battery is interchangeable only if the drill requires 12V. They have an 18V drill as well. Try not to mix a 18V battery with a 12V drill. I had a 12V drill with 2 batterys. I lost the drill with a battery on it. So I bought a drill without a battery and it works. Hope that helps.

So sorry for the late response. I just checked this email address. The answer is no. That is the drill I was looking to get a charger for. Once again, sorry for the late response.

I bought this exact same unit in January. It uses the same battery and charger that the previous Makita drill uses. DC-18RA is on the charger and the batteries say BL1815. This is the best drill by far that I have ever owned BTW.

I was wondering the same thing and from the research I did they are the same drill, just a different voltage designation. They are both the same size and same charger. I am really happy with mine and it works great!

Yes. It will use the same battery for the porter cable 20volt drill battery

Yes. Just be sure your drill takes the "post type battery" not the slid on.

Don't really know,but it's the best drill I've ever owned. Had the old ni-cad dewalt and was happy with it, but now the brushless lit-ion is the best. Had a Rockwell 18 volt lit-ion and it went dead after sitting a week not being used.i been using my dewalt for small house jobs for a month and it's still charged. Good luck

If the mounting and contacts are the same then yes the 1.5 ah is the average time the has enough power to run the drill. So the 3ah would last longer. WARNING Makita batteries have chip on board. Those chips often turn the battery off with no way to fix it. Plus my experience has been ,that they won't do anything to about it. Amazon was awesome in taking care me when the battery I had just gotten failed.. try it!!

While I am pleased and happy with the new 12 Volt drill, I have not tried it for the use you describe, but it is a strong drill. If I were buying one today and did not already have any other drills, I would go for the 18 Volt Ion battery Makita. I already had an 18 volt as well as a 12 volt drill and this one I recently bought was to replace an older 12 volt Makita that is now about 10 years old. It was still running but I gave it to my son--Makita's are great drills.

There are two batteries in this combination. Both are 3.0 ah. Ideally it would be nice to have an additional battery if you are using both tools so that you don't have to switch batteries when on is charging.
