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 with Makita Rapid Chargers 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.

• 6.0 Ah battery offers ultimate run time for prolonged, heavy-duty applications
• LED charge level indicator displays approximate remaining battery power
• Battery Protection System provides Over-Discharge, Temperature and Current Protection for enhanced performance, battery cycle life and overall battery life (when used with STAR marked tool)
• Li-Ion Batteries offer extended run time versus Ni-Cad and Ni-MH batteries
• Li-Ion Batteries offer more cycles over the life of the battery versus Ni-Cad and Ni-MH batteries
• Optimum Charging System utilizes 3 Active Controls (Current, Voltage & Temperature) to maximize battery life
• Built-In Memory Chip communicates with Charger CPU to optimize the charging process based on the unique conditions of each battery
