Bought 2 of these NiMH 3AH batteries on eBay for my aging dewalt tools. The batteries are made in China and look and feel like good quality items at a very good price. But be warned, they are rubbish. Both batteries from the off didn't seem to last as long as I hoped and I was constantly having to recharge them. Within a month they simply lacked the power to drive anything properly and wouldn't hold a charge when left for any length of time . In just a few more months they are both totally dead and heading to the recycle center...
 
Had the same with a battery I brought for a laptop.
 
Nicads were much better for abuse , but now outlawed !
( Pretty soon got fed up with freshly charging NiMH just before use )
 
My old mans got the li-ion version and swears by them.
 
Heard a lot of the un branded batteries are absolutely cack.
 
I've got the Makita ones aswell, never had a problem. Ones just died but it was 3-4 years old.
 
they are fine for low drain tools but when they are pushed the combination of low quality cells and questionable cell overheat and over drain protection will equal a short lifespan and poor performance.
