Why Replace Your Battery Protection Board?
A faulty BMS is one of the most common reasons a lithium-ion battery pack stops charging or loses capacity. Instead of buying an entirely new battery, replacing just the protection circuit board is a smart, affordable fix. For more information on lithium-ion battery safety, refer to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Makita battery packs is this protection board compatible with?
A: This 21V 5-string (5S) 18650 BMS protection board is designed for Makita 18V/21V lithium-ion battery packs that use standard 18650 cells in a 5S configuration. Always verify your existing board's dimensions and cell layout before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
Q: What is the difference between the 6MOS 30A and 5MOS 25A variants?
A: The 6MOS 30A version uses six MOSFET transistors and supports a continuous discharge current of up to 30A, making it suitable for higher-demand power tools. The 5MOS 25A version uses five MOSFETs and handles up to 25A — ideal for standard Makita tool usage. Choose based on your tool's current draw requirements.
Q: Does this board protect against overcharging and short circuits?
A: Yes. This BMS protection board includes full overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit protection, as well as a built-in temperature control function to prevent thermal runaway — a key safety feature for 18650 lithium-ion cells.
Q: Is installation difficult? Do I need special tools?
A: Installation requires basic soldering skills and appropriate tools (soldering iron, multimeter). It is recommended for experienced DIYers or electronics technicians. If you are not comfortable working with lithium-ion cells, please seek professional assistance, as improper handling can be hazardous.
Q: Does the package include batteries or a charger?
A: No. The package includes 1 × Protection Board only. Batteries and chargers are sold separately.
