It's started working, it's the battery that's failed

Making a funny noise though or is it just enough power going through?

Erm pass, it's sounds right now though. Like you say though maybe not enough power getting through

 

[milkloss]

I'm not sure but it would seem as thought the circuit protection for the the battery is cutting in after the initial kick.

 

[Grassman]

I do fancy one of these.
Has anyone any experience of them yet?

The governor there is a good friend of mine, give them a call you'll get some sensible advice.

Grinder is transformed since having a couple of 5ah batteries.
Interesting to see how they last.
Folkestone fixings, £74 ea. inc vat and carriage.

got a few makita battery tools
Batteries are hit and miss, if its cold and your working outside the batteries wont charge, which can be a major problem
Have some of their 5 amp batteries, according to makita these take 40min to charge, more like 70min.
Very easy to knacker the batteries if your savage with the tools.
Dont think their batteries are as advanced as some.
Their tools are good and over the 4-5 years ive had them only one drill has required repair, one of my favorite is their led torch coupled with the 5amp battery, very bright and lasts for days without charging, only cost £32.

Sometimes I find batteries take an age to charge, other times not so much. (all from flat, rather than just run down a little)

Makita are seriously slow to charge

 

[Grassman]

Get an easy life. Get Hitachi! Very underrated quality tools.

Think Hilti will be my next try

Hilti are very good but you pay for it.

 

[Greenbeast]

I've had my makita 3Ah for about 5-6 years now, they're finally showing their age so looking to get a pair of 5Ah although i don't think the new batteries fit the drill i have unfortunately, that's something to watch out for

 

[David.]

They don't fit, without trimming back the side tab a little.
My only concern is that the later batteries have some fancy electronics inside that the older ones lack, and could be damaged by overloading etc.
Nothing ventured.. etc. So far, so good.
