MegaTest Makita Battery Testing Service

We’ve all been there: you're in the middle of a job, ready to get things done, but your battery dies. Worse yet, you grab another, only to find it’s in even worse condition! Sound familiar? Batteries are the backbone of cordless tools, and while they don’t last forever, knowing their health can save you time, money, and frustration. Even newer batteries can suffer from issues like overcharging or over-discharging, both of which can drastically affect performance.


But what if you could stay ahead of battery issues before they become a problem? Now you can.


At MegaTest, we’re excited to introduce our Makita Battery Testing Service, designed to give you a complete health check on both 18V and 40V batteries. Whether you’re a tradesperson relying on your gear or a DIY enthusiast, having reliable batteries is key. Let’s dive into why this service is a game-changer.


What Can the MegaTest Makita Battery Report Tell You?


Our testing service provides a detailed breakdown of your battery’s health, letting you know exactly what’s going on under the hood. Here’s what our report covers:


  • Date of Manufacturing – Know how old your battery is.

  • Number of Charges – Track how many times it’s been charged.

  • State of Health – Get a percentage that sums up your battery’s overall condition.

  • Over-Charged Percentage – Find out if your battery has been overcharged and by how much.

  • Over-Discharge Percentage – See if it’s been discharged beyond its limit.

  • Battery Temperature (40V batteries only) – High temperatures can signal deeper issues.

  • Cell Health – Evaluate the status of each battery cell.

  • Chip & Health Error Codes – If your battery is throwing any error codes, we’ll catch them.


Easy Identification with Colour-Coded Tags


Once tested, we don’t just hand you a report and send you on your way. We take it a step further by attaching a colour-coded tag to each battery. This tag will include not only the battery’s health percentage but also the test date and a unique tag number that refers back to the report.


Here’s what the colours mean:


  • Green (75–100%): Good to go! This battery is ready for any job.

  • Yellow (50–75%): Still strong but keep an eye on it.

  • Red (25–50%): It’s getting weak—use sparingly.

  • Blue (Under 25%): Time to consider a replacement.


This system takes the guesswork out of choosing the right battery. No more scrambling to find one that works—you’ll know at a glance!


Genuine or Not? We’ve Got You Covered


One of the most overlooked issues in the battery world is counterfeits. Fake batteries can wreak havoc on your tools, not to mention your productivity. During testing, our technicians will also check if your Makita battery is genuine or if it has been tampered with or opened for repair. This means you can rest easy, knowing your battery is reliable and won’t let you down.


Why You Should Care About Battery Health


Batteries are an investment, and just like any other tool, they need maintenance and care. A bad battery can damage your tools or, worse, leave you stranded mid-job. Knowing the health of your batteries not only helps you plan replacements but also ensures your tools run at peak performance.


If you’re relying on your tools daily, you can’t afford to have weak batteries holding you back. MegaTest’s Makita Battery Testing Service makes it easy to stay on top of things—giving you peace of mind, improved productivity, and a smarter approach to your gear.
