The Makita® 18 V LXT® Li-ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard Li-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications. The Makita® 6 Ah battery, model BL1860B, combines more run time (two-times more run time per charge than the Makita® 3 Ah battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 55 min so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For added convenience, it also features an on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. The 18 V LXT® 6.0Ah battery is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol™ and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. There are over 125 Makita® 18 V cordless tools with Star Protection and more are on the way. Makita® 18 V Li-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. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita® created STAR Protection Computer Controls™. STAR Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. Makita®, the innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the world's cordless tool line-up powered by an 18 V Li-ion slide-style battery.
