How does this battery compare to the Makita PA14 1.3ah, is it a better battery or will it replace this one, same charger and all?

Don't know if it's better or not, didn't test side by side. I got it for my brother who had a good drill and a couple of dead OEM batteries. They are a direct replacement, same charger, etc. They seem to work fine. 3000mAh is about two and a half times the charge capacity of the 1.3ah (1300mAhr) PA14 should it should last longer.

It is a better battery will last longer and will fit same charger I was told to charge until done take the battery out let it cool and then charge again first time makes them last longer so they say seem to work and never charge a very cold battery

Hi Mike, I just received similar batteries from this vendor and I am 100% satisfied with the quality and performance of the products. After receiving them, I oredered two more for a 12 v Makita also. They appear to be a perfectly acceptable replacement to the originals.Buy with confidence, I did and don't regret it.

This battery worked great for me, after the first charge it last for almost two weeks with daily use.

It replaced my red Makita Nicad batteries with considerably more power (20%) and I could use my existing DC1411 Makita charger to charge it. I cannot remember is my old Nicad batteries were PA14`s.

This battery seems as good as Makita battery.I don't use it all that much but it holds a charge well.It will charge innthr Makita charger with no problem.

This battery was originally advertised as a NI-MH unit. It came as a NI-Cad. The body is red, not dark grey like the Makita. Don't know if it really has a power density of 3 Ah. I am using it as a spare. My charger works just fine with this unit.

First of all I was very disappointed with the ExpertPower battery I received and was even more disappointed with the seller, make sure you read the reviews on this seller. Even though the defective battery was shipped to me from within the US, I had to return ship the defective battery to Canada at a cost over $17.00. Then the seller refused to refund the cost of return shipping or the cost of the initial shipping. I'm not sure about this Makita battery, but this battery does fit in a 14.4 charger.

david costa - makita chargers work just fine for this battery. i don't know what "tooldawg" thinks is an "optimal charge" but when i charge these batteries on my makita charger they operate stronger and at least 1.25x longer than makita's biggest 18v batteries. i've been using mine for over a year with no problems.

Yes it dose not fit the Makita charge but I'd use the DeWalt Supercharge for all my Battery, it charges in about 13 to 15 minutes or less.

It was the Mikita brand. I bought another one at a battery store that was red - that was a mistake - it is not as powerful as this one and does not hold a charge as well as this one. This one is more expensive, but with it.

I heard from a Makita Tech that this is not recommended, especially unplugging it while the battery is charging. He said it will shorten the life of the battery. That being said, you didn't cause any major damage. The battery will continue to work fine, probably for quite a while. Just don't make your method of choice for charging the battery, and try not to unplug the charger unless your battery has been removed first.

No difference. As far as I can tell. Just a new part number, many Makita tools have had a number change in the last two years.

I am probably not the one to ask as my battery failed in less that a month. The Makita battery charging is aided with communications between the battery and charger. I suspect the manufacturer has not fully cloned the electronics of the original battery.

I've had 2 battery's for this blower. One lasted a month, the other lasted 4 months. Makita is known for their AC power tools, apparently not their batteries.

Not sure about the 1413. I have a Makita DC1414T charger and it seems to work fine with the ExpertPower 3.0 AHr batteries. The charger does not get any warmer that it did with the 2.6 AHr batteries.

Don't really know...I use it for the Makita MAK193159-1 Pod-Style Battery, 18-volt, 2.6-Amp and it works GREAT!!

I'm using these to replace my aging Makita, Ni-MH, 12volt, type 1234, batteries. I'm also using the 14.4 volt version to replace my Makita type 1434 batteries. These batteries are holding up really well and I'm very happy with them. I don't know if they will work for the type you have though.

The Makita 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery (BL1014) is only compatible with Makita chargers DC10WA and DC10WB.

It works just like the factory battery. No problems at and fits great. Plus you can't beat the price. Great buy. I don't know why it failed on you unless you kept it stored ina hot place or cold batteries need to be pretty stable temps because they take a lose of power when this happens and it can ruin the battery. I have had this happen to me with 3 batteries in my garage. I live in a cold climate and i decided to move my Makita kit to the basement my batteries last allot longer now, and I fixed the problem. I hope this helps you. same thing goes with my motorcycle. I have to keep a battery trickler on it to keep it warm and small amount of power going into it during the winter or I will loose it. K take care, and I hope I have helped you out.

I don't trust Makita's battery technology. I had one that failed and then they were awkward about replacing it , do I gave up. I would describe my use of the battery as normal. At the prices they charge, Mskita should be ashamed of themselves.

Everything I have seen allows for the battery to be compatible for an 18 volt Makita. The Bl1815 is older and the Bl1830 and Bl1840 are upgrades.

I have a DW-9118 Charger with a DC730 Drill 1/2 drill. I replaced my DW-9094 14.4v batteries, I am not sure what the mAh were but I know the XRP batteries that came out later stated they lasted 40% longer. Anyway I bought 2 of these 3000mAh batteries and they work Great. They definitely last longer and even seem more powerful than the originals, but that might be due to me forgetting what my old ones use to be like. I think you will be ok, only thing I noticed is these get a little warmer after a charge, but that might be due to the higher mAh. If this helps, I remember someone using my charger that had a XRP battery and it charged fine. I have a DW-9118 Charger with a DC730 Drill 1/2 drill.

I've found the 36V battery to be a little lighter and seems to run slightly longer, (about one minute on a full charge) than the 18VX2 battery in my Makita Chain Saw or Blower. The nice thing about the 18VX2 battery adapter is that it is "Star 18V", which means it should be able to use the new 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah 18 volt batteries Makita is coming out with.
