wayneburgess Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 They have problems and start to flash red and green.Also many batteries go down with the same 2 cells dropping out to zero Volts making them useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamEco Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have had fair luck with my Makita batteries, they do seem to have a date of failure built in, as my batteries that I purchase at the same time all tend to die within a month of each other. Still worlds better than Nicad. I find Milwaukee batteries don't fail in the same way, the seem to fade out over time rather than than just up and quit with a charging failure like the Makitas do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
