BWCASuby Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi, I have an older 18V Makita 6343D drill that I need a replacement battery for. In the past, after ordering a couple different brands, and having two rebuilt, the only one worth it was from a manufacturer called Nuon. Apparently, Nuon does not make the battery pack for that drill anymore. Even the grey Makita replacement battery that was about $50 only lasted about a month before not holding a charge for very long. I also had two rebuilt, and those only lasted a few months before not holding a charge anymore. Any recommendations for manufacturer? There are a lot of the red battery packs out there, made by different, I am guessing, Chinese companies. Some are very inexpensive, but that does not mean they are not good packs. The Nuon was only $30 and it lasted 4-5 years. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Are you located in the USA? Because I know international tool prices are a lot more. You would be better off investing in a new lithium ion drill kit over the Holidays with the deals on a new kit over getting replacement batteries on a nicad tool.

BWCASuby Posted November 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thanks, I have been thinking about a new drill, but I really like the Makita. I suppose Li drills are lighter and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolBane Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Go with newer lithium stuff. You won’t regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
