Triassic Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 It’s time to buy new batteries for my Ryobi and Bosch cordless drills and drivers. Having looked on line, the manufacturers own brand is about twice the price of the no name replacements. So do I buy branded batteries or is there a decent and reliable after market replacement battery supplier out There? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I bought two no-name ebay Makita-clone BL1830 packs well over a year ago now, and have hammered them hard in the Makita lawnmower (that takes two BL1830 packs in series). As far as I can tell they are every bit as good as the genuine packs from Makita, just around half the price. The same goes for the replacement NiCd packs for my old Makita 14.4V drill/driver. I bought two "Masione" brand packs about 3 years ago and they are actually better than the genuine Makita ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Try County Batteries I too have a couple of Makita clones from eBay. Knocked the granny out of them and still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
