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.

I am very pleased with the recent purchase of 2 Makita 18 volt Lithium -Ion batteries. They arrived earlier than expected. Have one in service and find it noticeably more powerful. Still operating on the first charge. Great price. Excellent service from HD.

This pair of 3.0Ah batteries is supplementing my original 1.5Ah batteries. These batteries keep my older Makitas running and work with the newer brushless tools which I am considering buying.
