Hi Rick, i'm sorry for the trouble... if you read my message sent via Alibaba, you will find we have explained a lot for this situation, we were about to send battery and charger together, but cause this is RTS order, the shipping option you choose is not accepting we sent battery, it will be over the limites of that channel. But we can send you extra battery in our next order, no problem Our machine is compatible with Makita and Makita similar batteries, you can easily find them. Sorry again, we looking forward our long term cooperation
