How to choose the right Makita battery

When choosing a Makita battery, you should consider these main factors:

  • Capacity (Ah): determines how long the tool will operate before running out
  • Voltage: for tools in the 18V system, you must use batteries with the same voltage
  • Compatibility: check that the battery is compatible with your Makita tool (LXT system)
  • Charging time: models such as the BL1860B offer fast charging in 55 minutes :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=0}
