5 Stars A great cordless phone for not too much money
We bought this one to replace an old Radio Shack unit that was starting to wear out. Initially we were looking at a Panasonic unit that offered call blocking, a feature we wanted to stop those annoying telemarketing calls. After some searching I found this unit, which also offered the call blocking capability. After some serious comparison shopping we opted to go with this unit, which so far we have not regretted at all. It’s relatively easy to set up, although the directions leave a bit to be desired in my opinion. We bought an additional unit for this and all three remote units easily synched with the base unit. One unit did have a totally dead battery in it, but it quickly recharged after being left on the charger. We can’t begin to say how much we love the call blocking feature. It’s remarkably easy to add a number, either when it’s ringing or by searching through the call history. Suddenly our house is much quieter now and we can actually get some peace and quiet knowing this unit is stopping those pesky telemarketers. The one feature I wish it had is a lighted push to talk button. If you pick up the phone in the dark you can’t tell which button is the one to push to answer it, which can be kind of annoying if you’ve been woken up to answer the phone. While the keypad is lighted, it would be most helpful if the other buttons were as well. We’ve also found the battery to last a long time, which is refreshing given the fact that our old Radio Shack batteries were starting to wear out. Overall we’re very happy with this new unit and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a phone that has lots of features, a good price, and nice styling.

5 Stars Great Value in a Cordless Phone
The DECT2185-3 cordless phone system, like most of Uniden’s phones offers the consumer great value for the money.

This phone set has a 70-name directory capacity with each handset having the same or different contacts (your option. It’s extremely versatile. Most manufacturers only offer a 50-capacity directory with all handsets sharing the same contacts.

Although the DECT 2185-3 includes 3 handsets, you can add an additional 3 for a total of 6. Each extra handset (DCX210) is a very reasonable $29.99 each.

Other plusses include excellent sound quality, 8 ringer tones, most of which are melodic–not harsh tones. If you want the Star Spangled Banner as your ring tone, this phone has it!. A lighted keypad and base and battery display are also included.

Only negative with this phone is that a larger LCD screen would make it even easier to read, especially for someone with visual impairment.

If you are looking for a cordless phone set that offers features as opposed to style, this is one to consider.

5 Stars Works great!
I have always been very satisfied with any Makita product. These are no exception.

5 Stars long lasting
These batteries are tanks in the cold. I do commercial HVAC indoor and outdoor. I have had these sit and they still hold a charge. If you work in the cold its worth it to go Li-Ion

5 Stars Back for another pair
Every fall I check the web looking for the best price on a pair of 18v x 3.0AH batteries for my Makita lithium ion tools. Every fall I hope to see the prices fall. Dream on!

Every fall I wind up back at Amazon to buy another pair. Their competitors charge more.

My Makita set went into service in December 2006 and the tools get used almost daily. I have one dead battery thus far and several that are ??? but run.

I expect two years from a LiOn battery so I am ahead of the curve – thus far. Better get another pair.

5 Stars A nice add-on purchase
I bought a 2-pack of these to give extra life to the driver-drill/ impact driver combo kit I bought. The 1.5Ah batteries that came with the kit are small and light, but don’t last very long between charges when using the tools a lot.

2 Stars Long life between charges, but had to replace more often
We normally buy Dewalt cordless tools, but when we find deals, we will buy other brands and we figured we’d give the Makita’s a try.

The pluses: these batteries do last longer between charges than the old Dewalts nicads we had. If we have 2 guys doing the same job, the Dewalt would lose its charge in 3 hours, while the Makita would last at least 3.5 hours doing the same job.

The downside…the batteries cost you more in the long run. They aren’t cheap, and they do last longer between charges, but we seem to have to buy new replacement Makita batteries more often than we do for our Dewalt products.

So, these batteries are great in that they are probably the longest running 18v cordless batteries we have had for our tools, but in the long run we probably won’t stick with them because they need to be replaced every 4-6 months (we use them everyday), while our ‘other’ branded batteries are lasting almost a year under the same workload.

5 Stars Great price and fast delivery
this is a good price for the battery I ordered, it was sent in a speedy manner

1 Star DOA but return was easy
Battery would not hold a charge, new out of the package – but Amazon made the return easy.

1 Star dead makita battery
the battery you sent me was dead. it wouldn’t take a charge. makita 1-800 tech support said to send it to their nearest service center, which i did. that was 3 weeks ago and i haven’t heard back. dead battery and lousy tech support. not a pretty picture.

5 Stars Drop in replacement for stock batteries
No worries about buying this battery, it is the exact equivalent to what came with my drill, which just plain wore out (too many charges). I even forgot I had replaced them until I saw this in my list of previous purchases.

5 Stars Makita battery
It Works ! this battery is hard to find and this place is the cheapest I found it.

DEWALT DW9116 7 2 Volt to 18 Volt Pod Style 1 Hour Battery Charger

This is an amazing little charger that literally breathes new life into your failing DeWalt batteries. It revitalizes everything from 9.6 volts through the big 18-volters, but what’s so great about this charger is that not only can it be used as a standard quick charger, but if you leave a worn-down battery in for four to 10 hours, the charger conditions the battery with a tune-up mode, and at completion, it automatically converts to trickle charge, so you’ll never damage a battery by leaving it in the charger too long.

Diagnostics with LED indicators give you the battery status at a glance: charged, charging, power line problem, replace pack, and battery too hot or too cold. It’s got a small footprint, which is always a plus, and the price is look-twice-and-rub-your-eyes cheap.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5 Stars It Works
I have a Black & Decker Fire Storm 12 volt drill with the Ps130 Type 3 battery. Read the reviews that this charger will work with a Black & Decker drill. It works, charged my completely dead battery in one hour. So much better than the piece of junk that came with the drill. I have read other reviews that this charger would not work with this battery, and others that said it would. I took a chance and for me it works!

5 Stars Excellent Dewalt Charger
The Dewalt Charger arrived in a very timely manner and works great. Extremely cheaper then what you would pay for this charger in the store. Great buy…

4 Stars charger for firestorm
Works on my black and decker firestorm 14.4v batteries fine. owned a month now and seems much better than the black and pecker POS charger these cordless tools come with.

1 Star Firestorm 12 Volt Recharge.
I bought this charger for my 12 volt Firestorm. I have 4 batteries and the charger quickly charges all of them to 8 volts and thats it. Takes about 3 minutes. I don’t know how other folks on this site get it to function with Firestorm batteries. I would assume that there should be a key in the battery that makes the charger recognize the battery as a 12 volt on Dewalt batteries. Anyway, it didn’t work for me.

5 Stars DeWalt 9116 charger great for B&D Firestorm 18V drill battery
