Just a warning but some of those 'replica' Makita batts do NOT work in the 30min quick chargers. They cook !.
You need the earlier chargers.

Cheers,
Lofty.

Intersted in this as mine seem to last shorter and shorter so know i'm ready for new ones but cost is putting me off.

Axminster tools do replacement batteries for the 18v lithium Makitas they do replica batteries and originals at a fair price

I was recommended the "all-battery-shop" on Ebay as a very good place for replacement batteries. Bought a 3.0Ah 14.4v Ni-Mh for my little Dewalt cordless. Some 18 months on and its still going on the best and has been given a lot of abuse in that time.
