The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications. The Makita 6.0Ah battery, model BL1860B, combines more run time (two times more run time per charge than the Makita 3.0Ah battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 55 minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting 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, so they're 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. In addition, the Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions.
