Even more convenience. Having two batteries is “convenient”—now I finally realize it (*´з`)

10 January 2023

Coming of Age Day has ended, and finally the world is back to normal operations?

Well, the other day I’ve been continuing wiring work
and really feeling the benefits of “going cordless.”

But here’s the thing—

even though the work has become this convenient.
People like me still think “if only it were like this~” and
keep wanting “MORE MORE” —seeking even greater convenience.

Yes,
I only have one “18V battery” ( ；∀；)

Swapping batteries becomes a hassle?

Makita battery replacement is just one button, right?
That’s why.

I’ve been managing with just one for a long time.
It’s fine for regular drills or grinders, but with wiring work, the pattern is often “soldering” followed immediately by “heat shrinking.”

Repeating this process endlessly, I felt somewhat “tired of it.”

I haven’t experienced the battery dying yet, but
a “soldering iron” and a “heat gun” really consume a lot of battery power.

In the end, having two is convenient. Do you need two or more?

To have some flexibility and recovery options, I purchased another one.
Makita Lithium-Ion Battery BL1860B 18V 6.0Ah A-60464

I’m a genuine battery purist.
This is because back when I was using Dyson,
I bought a compatible battery on Amazon, and it stopped working after two days.

“Battery dead” is disappointing with any product.
The sadness of “not working” when you’re about to use it or are using it.
While it’s not a major emergency,
having “only one battery” means work stays on hold until the next one arrives.

So that’s why I got another battery.
I also have a Makita 14.4V, and after nearly 10 years of use at our work level, it’s still
“going strong.”

With this type of battery, I’m a “genuine parts”
person—GoPro, Sony, Makita, I only use genuine batteries.
I want electronics to work reliably, and I want to eliminate uncertainties. That’s just how it is.
