I bought the batteries thinking it would save me money. The batteries are plain- no identification marks such as (makita). They are a bad fit trying to get them on the tool. Hard gettng them off and really hard trying to get them on the charger, and they started giving the defetive battery signal on the charger within several months. Don't waste your money, buy the real thing. These batteries came from China- and then it took 3-4 weeks to arrive'Ryan1956
