Recently, more and more non-genuine Makita lithium batteries are found in the market. By using a non-genuine Makita “knock-off” battery, the sophisticated electronic communication system between the battery and the charger as well as between the battery and the tool may be defeated. This will result in:
- Unknown and unstable tool performance. The non-genuine Makita battery may also damage the internal parts of the tool which in turn shorten the life span of the machine.
- Voiding the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and charger.
- The battery bursting that may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
- Possible fire damage to the tool, the battery and/or the charger.
Explosion occurs in some countries as shown.
Makita bears no liability for accidents, personal injury or property damage (or damage to batteries, tools or chargers) that occurs as a result of the use of “knock-off” batteries, or batteries that have been repaired or altered in any way.
Always use genuine Makita batteries!
