Makita BL1860B 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 6.0 Ah 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.)

Long lasting

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.

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.

Great battery life, rugged well made. Much better than my 4ah and 5ah batteries. Always trust Makita.

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.

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

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!

Exelente calidad ya la prové con varias herramientas Makita que tengo, ojo dependiendo de la herramienta a veces uno requerirá de otra vatería para terminar con lo que uno está haciendo.

Ik heb de accu ontvangen, ik heb hem dan ook proberen op te laden maar dit lukte niet. Ik het ze dan kunnen terugsturen en nu zeggen ze dat ik een gebruikte accu heb terug gestuurd maar dit is niet. En nu krijg ik mijn geld niet terug. Ik zou het u afraden om bij deze verkoper te bestellen

Higher capacity battery with power to last longer for the larger jobs

Der Akku hält ewig durch und ist jeden Cent wert. Typische Makita-Qualität. Er lädt schnell auf und bringt meine Winkelschleifer und Kreissägen ohne Probleme durch den Tag.

Good
