Makita Batteries

[lostinthelight]

Anyone bought batteries from Toolden, they seem to be the cheapest I can find at the mo, I presume they are genuine?
I need to buy more than the two I had with my Duc254 as it seems to eat them for fun.

Too cheap IMO.
Bargain if original.

we need to remember tools are now nearing mains power
if we assume the saw is perhaps 350w at 18v
a 5ah battery holds 5x18x 60 =5400watts for a minute so on full power for 15.8 mins or assuming perhaps 15% power losses 13.5 mins
now i dont know the actual power used or losses but gives you an idea

Thanks for that, I've found the specs on the saw, its rated at 570 watts and 5ah battery is 90 watt hour.

times that by 60 to get to watts for minute and as i say contains 5400wm[watts for a minute] so you would expect sub 10 mins on heavy sawing or perhaps 3-5 times as much on stop start lighter stuff

Thats interesting , I'm getting less than 10 mins cutting from thumb to wrist thickness branches

 

[big-all]

Probably correct the absolute best you can get is 9.47 mins [5400div by 570]
you can loose say 10-15% transmission/ conversion losses
and say your batteries are 5 years old another 20% through age so down to perhaps 6.5mins

 

[lostinthelight]

Brand new batteries on their 3rd charge so hate to think how long they would last at 5years old

For heavy, continuous work you need corded tools unfortunately.
