I bought one a couple of months ago and am getting about 130 ft lbs of "nut busting torque" instead of the advertised 740 ft lbs. I am using 3AH Makita batteries which have been used in my drill for the last eight years.
I am considering buying 5AH or 6AH batteries for more torque.
The 6AH is $162Cdn on Amazon, claimed to be genuine Makita https://www.amazon.ca/Makita-197424-0-BATTERY-BL1860B-INDICATOR/dp/B0042CVBLO?th=1
Then there is the Waitely Makita clone 6AH for $36Cdn, on AliExpress. The price makes it tempting. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...48215414a89975533572a305783&afSmartRedirect=y
