Question: so based on the complaints, as long as i don't let the battery discharge too much and charge it regularly I won't risk bricking it?
Document: People who have opened up their "dead" packs report that the "smart chip" circuit is the problem. Specifically, the chip is powered by only one cell within the pack. And if this one cell should ever become "reversed" either by depleting the battery too far or having it in storage for too long at a low level, the "smart" charger will not let you charge the pack.
I have many makita tool and they are fine except the battery, they die in about a year, Dewalt batteries  last for much longer than Makita, how it can be, I agreed with another person idea of Makita trying to make extra money by short life batteries, it sucks. I started buying Festool products and let me tell you, everything is so much better.I'm a professional woodworker and I keep my batteries charged all the time and uses them a lot.
Charges are a little longer than the 1.5Ahr batteries, but the battery life after the charge is much longer. Some Makita tools will only used the 3Ahr battery, but every other tool can use either. The price you are getting on amazon is effectively a 10% discount off of the Home Depot price without charging tax. I have noticed Home Depot dropped their price recently. If you hold out long enough, Makita may be getting ready to put a better variant of this battery on the shelves.
I have purchase several of these batteries now and have not had one fail yet. I love the way they hold the charge for extended peroids of time when not in use and in use these Batteries last twice as long as my Sears Craftsman 18 volts ones do maybe three times as long and they are much lighter also.
I bought this as the extra battery for my Makita Impact driver and gotta love it. Long lasting and short recharging time. It's much better than other brands for sure.
I love Makita tools, but these 18 volt batteries have a serious design flaw. They work well, charge quickly but will fail to charge and need to be thrown out way too early. In a little over a year, the battery would no longer charge. Makita says that the problem occurs with home users who let the battery run all the way down. I never let them run all the way down, and I had 2 fail. Makita is in serious denial.
The red green flash of death. 2 of my first set of three will no longer charge around one year with little use- like many reviewers here. The culprit apparently is a self discharge of a single cell monitoring the battery. I have reluctantly bought two more to keep my LXT tools but will like to see Makita admit to this significant flaw. Even if its fixed or they do not deserve to have anything but two stars for their entire, otherwise solid, LXT lineup.
I've had my 2 original batteries for 2 months now and have no complaints. I've put dates on all my batteries and we'll see how long they last. My old Ni-Cd DeWalt batteries lasted 6 years of moderate to light use.
Second battery to refuse a charge in twelve months. One replaced under warrantee. Regularly used but never abused. The second battery still runs strong, (not fully discharged yet), but will not top off. Have two chargers.
I have a small construction business. I originally purchased Makita with the Lithium Ion batteries in 2006. I am still on the original set in 2010 with two exceptions. Warning, these charge real fast and if you leave them over night I've read they charge, discharge and recharge about 20 to 30 times. The two batteries that I have had fail were probably cycled hundreds if not thousands of times with this mistake.
Answer: yes
