The Makita 18-Volt 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 6.0 Ah battery, model BL1860B, combines more run time 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 LED charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. The 18-Volt LXT 6.0 Ah battery is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they are 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. 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. Note that model BL1860B-2 is a 2-pack and includes two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion 6.0 Ah batteries.

The battery is HIGH quality product, and functions with all Makita tools. The 6.0 Ah rating gives the tool longer work duration.

Great deal. These two batteries were exactly what I needed to not have to stop and recharge the one battery I had. I could not pass up the deal when I saw it. Ty

Good battery and price

These battery packs are as good as it gets, very easy to use, and charging rate time is excellent. Now, as far as how long they last when used, you will be amazed. I’ve used all kinds of battery packs, and they are all different depending on the tool they are driving, but these rank up there with the best of them. When they say “high capacity”, they definitely meet that definition. So, yes I would definitely recommend these if compatible with your tools.

What can I say? If I didn’t think that Makita products were the best, I wouldn’t buy them. Until they disappoint me I’ll keep purchasing them.

Great Tool and Batteries

They seem to be lasting longer then the 3.0 I have. Not happy with the charging time, it states it’s a quick charger, but takes an hour to recharge the batteries.

The saw is smooth and powerful
