The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, providing you and your cordless tools with unmatched performance and productivity to tackle the most demanding applications. The Makita 6.0Ah battery, model BL1860B, offers more run time—twice the run time per charge compared to the Makita 3.0Ah battery—along with a category-leading charge time of only 55 minutes, ensuring it spends more time working and less time on the charger. For added convenience, it also features an onboard L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge, making them ready for use even after long periods of storage.
The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor current, voltage, and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. Additionally, the Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions. The fuel gauge indicator displays the charge remaining on the battery in four stages. A built-in memory chip communicates the usage history with the charger, while built-in shock absorbers protect the cells from job site conditions. High energy cells pack more power per cell, reducing the number of cells and overall weight. A large release button allows for easy removal from the tool, and built-in air vents and walls cool the battery cells evenly while blocking damaging debris. Sixteen contact terminals provide consistent power and a firm hold in any environment.
