Should I buy the name-brand battery or should buy get two third-party batteries for less?

I mean, what value could I possibly get by going with the name brand in this case, unless if there was a bigger likelihood of frying my tools with a third party battery (which is doubtful)? Would the third party battery maker really use 18650 cells that are that much worse than what Makita would use?

Please help me spend my money wisely.

no guarantee the third party batteries even contain 18650s-- dedicated scammers have been known to put smaller cells inside the casings of big cells

just buy the real battery jamal

They could use used 18650's aand have bad life span or they could do a shotty job of building the devices and have a battery pack explode on you.

Eh, I'm not worried about that at all, especially with the Amazon return policy.

>just buy the real battery jamal
Or I can just buy the third party battery and get over 3x more battery for the dollar.

If none of the reviewers have taken one apart to check the cells, I wouldn't risk it. If you're using these for work, it's not worth the hassle of replacing them again versus the money saved.

Nice try, Techtronics shill.

The safe (but massively overpriced) bet is the genuine makita battery. If you can possibly find out the exact cells the third party one uses, make sure that they have the same max discharge as the ones makita uses.
You should get a cordless coffee maker while you're at it.

For max money saving- open up your old pack and replace the cells inside with legit 18650s or whatever they are
