Looking for a replacement battery for your 14.4V Makita tool? Below you will find reliable, compatible options for everyday professional or hobby use.
Why choose Makita batteries and chargers
Makita has been a trusted brand among professionals and DIY enthusiasts for decades. The 14.4V line proves this: a perfect balance between power, weight and reliability. These batteries are often used in compact screwdrivers, drills and impact wrenches where a lower weight and sufficient power are essential.
The 14.4V Makita batteries are usually designed as NiMH or Li-ion batteries, depending on the year of manufacture of the tool. The Li-ion variant offers advantages such as faster charging time, less memory effect and a longer life. Common model codes include BL1415G , BL1430 and BL1440 .
Batteries in this segment are particularly popular with users looking for reliability without investing in the heavier 18V or 40V platforms. This makes them ideal for everyday work, light installation work or mobile applications.
At Accu-Machine.nl we offer high-quality replacement batteries, CE-certified and extensively tested for compatibility with Makita 14.4V machines.
Which battery fits your Makita tool?
Are you using an older Makita 14.4V drill? Then you probably need a NiMH battery. Newer models use the more efficient Li-ion technology. Pay close attention to the model code of your current battery: this determines which replacement fits perfectly.
For light applications, a 1.5Ah or 2.0Ah battery is often sufficient. Do you work longer in a row or with a heavier load? Then a 3.0Ah or 4.0Ah battery is a better choice. If in doubt, you can always count the number of cells (4 or 5) or check the original type number.
Battery chargers and capacity: what suits your working method?
14.4V Li-ion batteries often require a Makita DC18RC or similar fast charger. Make sure your charger is suitable for Li-ion and not just NiMH. Some models, such as the DC1414T , are specifically designed for 7.2–14.4V NiMH batteries.
The choice of charger also determines how quickly you can get back to work. A 3.0Ah Li-ion battery is charged in less than 30 minutes with a fast charger, while this can easily take 60 minutes with a standard charger.
Original chargers offer optimum safety, but high-quality replacement chargers are now also CE-approved and equipped with protection against overheating, overvoltage and short circuit.
Frequently asked questions about Makita batteries
Are replacement batteries safe for my Makita tools?
Yes, as long as the battery is CE approved and has the correct voltage and connector, they are safe to use. All batteries in our shop are tested for compatibility.
What is the difference between 1.5Ah and 3.0Ah?
A higher Ah value means longer usage time before you need to recharge. For light jobs 1.5Ah is sufficient, for intensive work you better choose 3.0Ah or more.
Can I use my old NiMH charger for Li-ion batteries?
No, this is not recommended. Li-ion batteries require specific charging profiles and protections that older NiMH chargers do not offer.
