I have noticed that recently, there has been a flood of fake Makita 18V LXT battery in Australia (good copy).At a first glance, it is almost identical to the genuine battery, the packaging and label is seems a bit odd to me but for an average person who don't handle it everyday, they would not know.The sellers of these fake battery, knowing or unknowing listed them as GENUINE Makita battery. How to check for fake Makita Battery.The letter V on (18V), does not have a tiny split on the top on the fake battery.There's no gaps on (18V), The real battery has a micro gap between each character on (18V).The letter L is thinner, as well as the 5.0Ah is also thinner.The trademark logo (R) printed on the fake battery is smaller than the original.Here is a photo for comparison.https://aktools.com.au/blogs/news/how-to-check-for-fake-makita-battery I hope this helps the community and weed out those selling fake batteries, they are dangerous and fatal.
