Tool battery for Makita 7.2V stick battery (NiMH, 2000 mAh) - Replaces type 7000 / 7002

This NiMH replacement battery is the classic "stick battery" for the legendary Makita 7.2 Volt battery-powered screwdrivers and drills of the first generations. It replaces the original black battery rods (Type 7000, 7002, 7033), which disappear completely into the handle of the machine. Thanks to modern nickel metal hydride technology and a capacity of 2,000 mAh (2.0 Ah) you can breathe new life into your often decades-old, indestructible Makita tools – with significantly more endurance than the original NiCd batteries (mostly 1.3 Ah).

Highlights at a glance

• Classic stick shape: The battery is in the form of a cylinder (stick) that is inserted completely into the handle of the machine. It fits perfectly into the holder of the old 7.2V devices.
• Performance upgrade (2.0 Ah): With 2,000 mAh this battery offers almost 50% to 60% more running time than the old standard batteries. That means: You can screw for longer before the battery needs to be replaced.
• Comprehensive replacement: Replaces Makita original numbers 7000, 7001, 7002, 7033 as well as 191679-9 and 632002-4.
• Modern NiMH technology: No more memory effect! You can charge this battery at any time, even if it is not completely empty. It is also more environmentally friendly because it contains no toxic cadmium.
• Durability: High-quality branded cells ensure high cycle resistance and stable voltage level, even with older machine motors.

FAQs about the Makita 7.2V stick battery

My old battery was a NiCd (type 7000). Will this NiMH fit?

Yes. The form is identical. The voltage (7.2V) is identical. Your machine benefits from better technology (no memory effect) and higher capacity.

Can I use my old charger (DC7100 / DC7020)?

Most of the time, yes. The old Makita chargers for these sticks are very robust. As they often work with low charge currents, they also charge NiMH batteries. Note: As the new battery has 2.0 Ah (instead of 1.3 Ah), charging takes accordingly longer (allow approximately 50% more time). If the battery becomes very hot, remove it from the charger.

Is there also a 7.2V block battery?

Yes, possibility of confusion! There are also 7.2V batteries from Makita that hang like a block underneath the handle (similar to the 9.6V batteries). This one is the stick that fits in the handle. Please take a close look at your old battery: is it a long tube (stick) or a block with a tower (block)? This item is the stick.
