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. Note that model BL1860B-2 is a two-pack and includes (2) 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 6.0Ah batteries.

  • More than 30 minutes continual use.
Style: 2-Pack Pattern: Battery
Added the 6.0 to use with 36.0-volt double battery tools like my blower. Longer lasting when I used it to "air dry" on high (120+ MPH) my new car after its first wash. I now have 2x 5.0 and 2x6.0. I am good for all day work. This purchase included a double battery charger as well. Great!

  • Long lasting charge
Style: 2-Pack Pattern: Battery
Had been looking to buy this size of battery at the big orange hardware store for a while now. Price was a factor and Amazon had em for less than half of the other store's price. I went to the Makita site and followed the link "where to buy online" and Amazon was one of the sellers listed so I assume they are authorized Makita seller. Batteries seem authentic and work well. They do take quite a while to charge but the run time is excellent. I use em strictly for the Makita mini shop blower and the larger blower. I had read that these were no better than the 5.0 which I have, but I have to disagree......they do run longer than the 5.0. I may use them for the SPTA cordless polisher that they are compatible with. Happy with em so far. ... show more

  • 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

  • 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

  • The real deal from Makita
Style: 2-Pack Pattern: Battery
They’re awesome but, compared to the 5 amp batteries, they do take longer to charge. They last a bit longer than the 5 but not sure if it’s worth it for the price difference. That said , I have no complaints about them and happy with the purchase.
