Product information

This NiMH high-performance battery is the most powerful upgrade for your classic Makita 7.2 Volt stick tools. Whilst the previous version with 2.0 Ah was already an improvement, this model with a full 3,000 mAh (3.0 Ah) offers the absolute maximum capacity technically possible in this compact stick housing. It replaces the old Makita stick batteries (type 7000, 7002, 7033 etc.) and gives your old cordless screwdriver more than twice the runtime compared to the original NiCd batteries at the time.

Highlights at a glance

Maximum capacity (3.0 Ah): With 3000 mAh, this battery is a true powerhouse. It is ideal for professional users or long projects where you don't want to constantly change the battery. This is the ultimate upgrade for the Makita 6010D series.
Modern NiMH technology: No memory effect. You can recharge the battery at any time. Compared to NiCd, it is more environmentally friendly (no heavy metal cadmium) and offers higher energy density.
100% precise fit (stick form): Despite the high performance, the battery has exactly the same dimensions as the original. It is inserted completely into the handle of the machine ("Stick Battery").
Replaces all 7.2V sticks: Compatible with Makita original numbers 7000, 7001, 7002, 7033, 191679-9, 632002-4 and 632003-2.
High-current-resistant cells: To ensure that the high capacity is also delivered as power, cycle-resistant cells are used, which provide a stable voltage even under load.

FAQs on the Makita 7.2V 3.0Ah battery

Is the battery larger than my old one because it has 3000 mAh?

No.

The external dimensions are identical, as standardised Sub-C cells are used. The difference lies in the density of the chemistry inside. It fits just as well into the handle as your old 1.2 Ah battery.

Does charging take longer?

Yes, significantly.

Since the "tank" (3.0 Ah) is more than twice as large as before (1.2 Ah), your old charger also takes more than twice as long to fully charge it. Example: If your old charger took 1 hour for the original battery, it will take approx. 2.5 hours for this battery.

My original charger gets very warm. Is that normal?

With batteries this size, yes.

The old Makita chargers (e.g. DC7020) are simple designs. Due to the long charging time at 3.0 Ah, they can become warmer than before. Make sure that the charger is free-standing and ventilated. Remove the battery as soon as it is warm (a sign for "Full" with NiMH).
