Description

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 on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. The 18V 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 18V cordless tools with Star Protection, and more are on the way. 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.

  • Much longer battery life than the 4.0
Style: 1-Pack Pattern: Battery
I use these batteries for a number of different Makita tools, but the one that’s been most noticeable is with my leaf blower. These are more expensive, as well as a little bulkier, and heavier, but for me it’s worth the added expense. If you rarely use your batteries at home, then these probably aren’t worth the added expense. If you’re using them for work, and you’d rather not have to lug multiple batteries around then it’s probably worth it. I mostly use these around the house, but I use my leaf blower to dry my car with as it doesn’t leave hard water stains, or any residual lint or dust. So been a lot more convenient using this battery for that more than anything. I have two 4.0 and one 6.0, usually around the house the 4.0 is plenty for my impact or my drill. However, I was frustrated with my leaf blower dying on me before I had time to dry my vehicle with it. This battery has more than enough power to completely finish job that the 4.0 couldn’t handle. TLDR: It’s a great high quality product. But depending on your use case it might be a smarter buy to opt for a smaller size. These are priced in a similar manner to Micro SD cards or SSD’s; as in the price increases exponentially with minimal gains (compared to x2 increases in lower tiers.) ... show more

  • Excellent battery so far
Style: 1-Pack Pattern: Battery
It charges fast and is a must if you’re using a makita impact. Lasts a long time between charges as it should. Would like another when I get a few spare dollars laying around. Don’t hesitate it’s genuine makita and worth the big price.

  • This 6Ah battery is much better than the 5Ah battery when running the Chainsaw. More power output.
Style: 1-Pack Pattern: Battery
The Makita Chainsaw is under powered when using the 5Ah batteries that came with it. (90 Watts). They also lose charge too quickly when cutting hardwood. The 6Ah batteries are slightly heavier (50g for the pair), but the performance is worth it at 108 Watts and the charge last longer.

  • Makita portable Chop saw and Battery Did The Job!
Style: 1-Pack Pattern: Battery
The 3” diamond cutting wheel sliced through two thick cast iron plates on a subsoiler’s three-point hitch bar that had been hitting my tractor tires when swaying to one side or the other. They were thick plates and not easily accessed, but I was able to maneuver the lightweight Makita saw to cut both sides of the plates leaving just a thin metal connection that easily broke of with a single blow of a mallet. I had to recharge the battery once during the ten minute operation - it was a heavy cast metal I was cutting through. I thought the battery held up well to only need one recharging to cut off both plates. ... show more

  • Used, scratched, resealed & filthy!!
Style: 1-Pack Pattern: Battery
Let me start with I only use Makita Tools. I buy & date a new battery nearly every year. This I purchased a 18lxt 6.0 which I might add with extended warranty cost nearly $200. The battery I I received from Makita just stopped charging, I have 3 chargers & tried it on all 3 nothing. Contacted seller of its failing, returned battery & here is the BIGGIE they sent out a used battery with the white wax plug gone (tampered with seal) & it was filthy resealed in package to look new. It does work BUT IF it acts up after my purchased warrantee Makita will not honor it with tamper plug removed & I went this High Priced Route to avoid problems because I use my batteries heavily because I have the Makita Mower. This customer just is not very happy after spending that amount of money with warrantee for a USED Battery. Also let me say I do not like writing bad reviews on sellers but sending out a used filthy & scratched up battery for a new battery is not acceptable at that price point!! This is a revision 11 months later, with light use battery is hit & miss, continually quits every few seconds, has to be removed & reinstalled for a few more seconds ... show more

  • Had to buy needed extra batteries for tools
Style: 1-Pack Pattern: Battery
Honestly, these batteries are hit and miss the knock off batteries that have the makita name some of are junk but you can't tell they look just alike numbers everything. Also the batteries are over priced i have seen them as high as 310.00 for two 18v. Makita should be ashamed i like there tools but the batteries are iffy at best! I've had two junk batteries so far wouldn't fit the chargers or just died. That's 200 wasted dollars! ... show more
