Which Battery Replaces Makita PA14

Which battery replaces the Makita PA14 14.4V pod battery

Posted by Enpower Technology | Industrial Power Tool Battery Manufacturer

As a professional rechargeable battery pack manufacturer based in Jiangmen, China, Enpower Technology has supplied certified aftermarket batteries for power tools, barcode scanners and two-way radios to distributors across 80+ countries since 2016. If your original Makita PA14 battery has lost runtime, swollen or failed completely, this guide clarifies which batteries can serve as its replacement, cross-compatibility rules, common pitfalls and our drop-in replacement solution for B2B buyers, repair shops and tool rental businesses.

Quick Answer

The Makita PA14 is an older 14.4V pod-style Ni-MH battery (OEM part number 193101-2).

Direct Mechanical Replacements

Makita 1420, 1422, 1433, 1434, 1435, 1435F. All share the identical pod housing and pin layout, and fit the same legacy Makita 14.4V pod tools.

Enpower Drop-in Replacement Battery

14.4V Ni-MH pack, plug-and-play for PA14, also backwards compatible with 1420 and the full pod series.

NOT Compatible

Makita LXT slide-style lithium batteries such as BL1415, BL1430. They have a completely different form factor and will not mount.

Important note: Even though 1420 (Ni-Cd) physically fits, it uses different cell chemistry. Mixing Ni-Cd and Ni-MH on the same charger long term will shorten battery life.

Original Makita PA14 Basic Specs

Item	Spec
Nominal Voltage	14.4V
Chemistry	Ni-MH
Original Capacity	2.0Ah
Housing Style	Pod / stick-in battery
OEM PN	193101-2
Typical Cycle Life	400-500 cycles

Full Cross Reference List for PA14 Replacements

Original Makita part numbers that interchange mechanically with PA14:

1420 (14.4V Ni-Cd 1.3Ah)
1422
1433
1434
1435
1435F
192600-1, 193158-3, 193985-8

All of these fit the same tool dock, but they vary in cell type and capacity. For best runtime and matching original PA14 Ni-MH characteristics, choose a Ni-MH replacement instead of Ni-Cd.

Which Makita Tools Use PA14 and These Replacement Batteries?

This battery platform works for classic 14.4V pod-type cordless tools:

6337D Drill Driver
8433D Impact Driver
5097D Circular Saw
JR140D Reciprocating Saw
6233D, 6336D, 6932FD and other legacy 14.4V models

Again, this pod series is fully separate from the later LXT lithium slide battery system. This is the number one mistake we see from overseas buyers ordering the wrong battery.

Buying Checklist Before You Order

Confirm your battery is the old pod-style, not LXT slide lithium.

Prefer a Ni-MH replacement if your charger is a Ni-MH charger.

If you currently use a Ni-Cd charger, avoid running high-capacity Ni-MH packs continuously.

For EU customers: confirm your supplier can provide the required battery regulation documentation. Enpower has registration files ready.

Final Summary

Makita PA14 can be replaced by other pod-series 14.4V batteries including 1420, 1434, 1435 and Enpower's aftermarket Ni-MH drop-in pack. While 1420 fits physically, it is Ni-Cd and not an ideal like-for-like upgrade. Our Enpower 14.4V Ni-MH replacement is the best balanced option for repair shops and wholesalers who want reliable performance, good runtime and full import compliance.
