Battery replacement for Makita cordless drill

[jjscott]

I have an old Makita cordless drill that I would like to hang onto and need to get a replacement battery for it. I haven’t had the best luck on finding a quality battery replacement in the past so I figured I’d ask you guys. I’d love to buy directly from Makita, but I don’t see this battery on their site. Looks like they rely on the authorized dealers for battery replacements.

The drill model is 6233DWAE and it’s a 14.4 volt 2.0Ah. The battery part number is 192600-1. Where would you recommend getting a good battery replacement?

Thanks

I dont know if you have them where your at. But Batteries PLus will rebuild your battery packs for less than buying new. I have had them rebuild a couple Dewalt packs for me...they use good cells, and are good as new ones.

Call a makita dealer. But for a nimh battery just find a good battery place and they can tune it up for you. Or buy eBay replacements look to be cheap. If your looking for performance then buy a new drill lol

I've got an older Makita 9.6 volt drill #6092D and I'm thinking of converting it to a LiPo battery. Seen several yids on Utube of it being done. Like you I love the drill but batteries are the weak point.

Simply isn't cost effective to do this. Buy a new lithium ion drill. NMiH *****. NiCd was actually better. Lithium Ion can't be beat.

Try batterygiant and batterymart. They offer replacement batteries.

If you don’t have a proper charger you risk burning down the house. Don’t mess with hacked batteries is my advice. Buy yourself a nice little brushless set. You’ll be amazed.

I have bought 3 sets of batteries from imax_expert on Ebay and they work fine for what I do. Two have been for a Makita and four for dewalts.

There was actually a "20th anniversary" Makita 9.6v drill with grey lithium Ion batteries (and the appropriate charger).
^box was dated around 2001 iirc

My old boss gave me one when the 9.6 I had crapped out.

I forget what happened to mine, but it was weird to see the long grey batteries instead of the normal black batteries.

I bought the POWERAXIS batteries off of Amazon for older Makita 12V and 18V tools that I have and still routinely use, the 6313D drill/driver, the 5620D saw, and the 6347D drill/driver

I been very pleased with these batteries. Unbelievably inexpensive IMO and they (especially the 18V) hold a charge way longer than any of the OEM's I still have. I'll definitely buy some more of in the future to replace all the originals as they are all crapping out from carrying a decent charge as usual with older Makita NiMH.

Thanks for all the feedback. I bought one from Poweraxis for $28.99. I thought about just buying a new drill, but I just don't use it enough to justify it. Plus I have too many other purchases looming in the near future.

I have to disagree with you on that. My makita Nimh batteries have outlasted my Dewalt Nicads with no problems with memory effect, cold or hot they charge and they work.

Ha! Walked into an estate sale over the weekend with tools, and found 3 stick batteries and a charger for $5! One battery is DOA, had to re-solder a couple of things on the charger. But my Makita cordless is back to life!

Amazon has some 14v factory discontinued batteries for sale I think. The 9.6v stick packs we're on the home Depot peg hooks up until very recently if u can believe that. That's just a testimony to how long these platforms are supported if they were very successful. Aftermarket batteries can be found all over the place as well.

Maybe display your location and someone local to you maybe able to help you out.

They rebuilt a Porter Cable 14.4 volt NiCd pack for me. Did a nice job. They have the spot welder to do it right. With smaller packs, I buy Tenergy sub C's and do it myself. Soldering works fine for smaller packs. The problem with big power tool packs is that they are a really tight fit and unless the tabs are cut and welded in just the right spot, you get a fat pack that will not go back in the case. There are other rebuilders but shipping can make it expensive.
