I recently bought a Makita BHP453 cordless drill. it only came with one battery so I have been on the look out for a second one.
although this isn't my first Makita drill, it is my first Makita drill with a lithium ion battery. do I need to make sure I buy a genuine Makita battery or will I be able to buy one of the cheaper replica batteries as is available on ebay or amazon?
Has anyone ever bought one of the replica Makita batteries, are they as good as the genuine batteries, do they hold their charge as long, do they last as long? will the replica batteries have any ill effect on the drill or the charger?
