I ordered two of these batteries knowing they were a generic replacements for the Makita 9000 series tools. I chose the 1.3 amp hour Ni-cd over the 2.2 amp hour NMh as I have experienced short life span on the NMh. I charged the batteries and placed one in each drill. I drilled 138 #8 pilots with counterbores and coutersinks. The second was used to drive about 130 #8 X 3" screws. I'm impressed with the quality of these batteries to teh extent that I ordered two more. I like my 9.6V Makita tools but had moved them to the storage pile due to a shortage of decent batteries. They are back on the bench for daily use.Well worth the price.
