Both seem pretty well fooked. :-\

I bought one of these for mine ... so far has worked very well indeed... no idea how long it will last, but a LOT cheaper than from makita ... :)

Thanks.

Being 2.0 Ah instead of 1.3 Ah does this mean the battery lasts longer before recharging, or has more 'torque' for tougher jobs?

About 18 months ago and its been brilliant (the standard Makita charger will do both NiCad a Nimh)
