Product information

This high quality NiMH replacement battery is the ideal power source for your trusted Makita 12 Volt power tools. It replaces the classic red block batteries (type 1220, 1222, 1234 etc.) which have been installed millions of times in cordless screwdrivers such as the legendary 6270D or 6271D. With 3,000 mAh (3.0 Ah) this battery offers almost twice the capacity of the original standard batteries (mostly 1.3 Ah NiCd), making it the perfect upgrade for long working sessions.

Highlights at a glance

Enormous capacity (3.0 Ah): While old original batteries often delivered only 1.3 Ah or 2.0 Ah, here you get 3000 mAh. This means much longer running times when drilling and screwing, without having to constantly change the battery.
100% compatible: Replaces all Makita block batteries with the designations 1220, 1222, 1233, 1234, 1235, 1235F as well as the newer designation PA12.
Modern NiMH technology: Unlike the old NiCd batteries, these nickel-metal hydride cells do not suffer from the memory effect. You can recharge the battery at any time. It is also more environmentally friendly, as it does not contain any toxic cadmium.
Perfect fit: Features the typical design of the Makita plug-in battery with lateral push-buttons for unlocking. It snaps securely and firmly into the handle of the machine.
Rugged casing: Made of impact-resistant plastic to withstand the tough conditions on construction sites or in the workshop.

FAQs about the Makita 12V NiMH battery

My old battery was red (NiCd). Will this one (NiMH) fit?

Yes, absolutely. Makita has kept the system over the years. Whether your old battery was red (NiCd) or black/grey (NiMH), it does not matter. The machine (e.g. 6271D) is compatible with both technologies. This battery is the more powerful upgrade.

Can I continue to use my old charger?

As a rule, yes. The common Makita chargers such as the DC1414, DC1804 or DC24SA charge both NiCd and NiMH batteries without any problems. Only with very old, simple plug-in power supplies you should be careful. If the charger has an LED indicator, it is almost always compatible.

Will the battery fit in the new 10.8V / 12V max CXT devices?

No. The new Makita 12V devices (CXT series) use slide-in batteries. This one here is a "thick block" that is inserted into the handle. The systems are not compatible.

What does "PA12" mean?

PA12 is simply the newer designation from Makita for exactly this battery type (1220/1222). If your device says "Use PA12 Battery", this is exactly the right battery.
