Mike E Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Greetings, I just purchased a model 6095D 9.6v Makita drill still brand new in the package (made in 1999). I realize that even though the stick style batteries have never been used they are probably deteriorated from age. The drill stops after driving four 3" screws. I already own an early Makita 9.6v pod style drill (6222D) that performs extremely well with good batteries. Question: If I buy new stick batteries for the 6095D can I expect the same performance from it as my pod style which is about five years newer? All opinions welcome, especially those who have experience with the earlier Makita drills. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I would buy the batteries from a place that has a good return policy and see what happens. Early cordless tools were not really known for having a ton of power though. You had to pre drill a lot of the time. How much did you pay for that drill btw just curious?

jeffmcmillan Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Is it this kind? Hard to say if they have much power normally because the last time I tried one I think the batteries were on the way out. It seemed to be in the range of newer 3.6V/4V screwdrivers and definitely less than the 8V ones, but still almost as bulky as an 18V. There are much better options out there with some pretty cheap modern 12V tools that are more compact and powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike E Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Paid $58 for the drill and flash light kit in the case still in the cardboard advertisement slide on cover. Brand new. Looking forward to other comments on the power and endurance of these drills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrius Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I think with new batterie it will perform same s your pod style drill, but I think that two batteries will cost more then you paid for tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand new. Looking forward to other comments on the power and endurance of these drills. They are very durable I own two of the 9.6v drills that are close to that model.I also own two older 12v that are older and are very durable and nothing has broken on them its just eventually the batteries die if you don't have them fully charged and leave them for a long time,overcharge them and run them completely down a lot . Like I said before they are very durable.On black Friday at my local home depot, i am hoping those batteries will go on sale I will buy them. I have a 9.6v jigsaw that is old that runs off of the same battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeOTT Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 These drills were beasts at the time but are nothing close to what's available now. They well and truely batted above average for a long time. (Mike)Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tools & Stuff Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Makita certainly was a pioneer when it comes to Battery drills. All I remember seeing when I was young was Makita battery drills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claeg Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I hope this isn't too late, but there is a conversion piece that lets you use the new Makita sliding lithium batteries on the old stick NiCad tools . https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HQW4N66/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1T2NCTM9UIV30&coliid=IYY23Z3T3VOS0&psc=1 Also here is a video showing it. That said I have no experience with it. I recently found a Makita kit(circ saw, recip saw, drill, flashlight) from the late 90's? that was my father's. All the batteries are dead. I have considered purchasing this, but I already have those tools in other brands so there is no need. I found the adapter when I was searching for nicads etc. EDIT: This is for the 18v sorry about that. I will leave the post just for info for others.

JMG Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have one of those adapters and while it is a bit rough around the edges, it does the job. Like some of the reviews on it state, it can be tough to remove from some tools due to the retaining clip design, and the tool that I use it on requires that it be removed in order to change batteries. Just a FYI. This is one of those items that I wish that Makita had taken the time to develop and produce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMG Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I only have one tool that needed the adapter, one of the original mini sliding miter saws. The power from the lithium battery is so much better than the ni-cad ever was. I never was a fan of the 18v pod packs and was using Panasonic drills during that time frame. You just have to pay attention and change it out as soon as you notice any power drop, so as to protect the battery itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
