I just purchased this set as well. Thanks OP. Counterfeit batteries are everywhere, so as hard as it is to buy $200 worth of batteries- this seems like a good deal. Home Depot has a 90 day return policy, so I'll return these and repurchase if the price goes lower over the holidays
Zero seller reviews, claims to be 100% authentic. I'll stick with Home Depot
Walmart is not an authorized reseller of Makita products according to the Makita website. These types of products are heavily counterfeited- and according to those who have done comparisons of the counterfeit vs genuine- the fakes look nearly identical. One of the ways to really tell is the weight. I'm all for saving money- but there's nothing worse than being in the middle of a job and having to stop to charge batteries in order to continue. Plus the genuine Makita batteries come with a three year warranty. In this case- I'll try to find genuine Makita batteries for as little as possible, then buy once / cry once...

Last year this was on sale for the same price, except it also came along with the 36V massive circular saw, which was just a crazy deal.
I actually have the smaller one and returned the big one because I just didn't have cause for it. Man I wanted to keep it so badly

So for $200, you get the two batteries that everyone wants and a $3.00 bag no one wants and everyone already has multiple chargers. Wait for the $129 deal where you get the two batteries by themselves.

For reference a single Makita 5.0Ah battery from Home Depot is $157 (not including charger either).
Why not this deal. Are they counterfeit?
