Description

Description

At a glance

The Makita BL1860B battery is the top choice for users who demand maximum autonomy from their 18V LXT® tools. It provides up to 100% more runtime per charge compared to the 3.0Ah battery (BL1830), while maintaining exactly the same dimensions and weight.

It is equipped with STAR Protection Computer Controls™ technology, which allows real-time data transfer between the battery and the tool for protection against overload, over-discharge, and overheating.

Features

  • Built-in Charge Indicator: Features a 4-LED fuel gauge that allows the user to check the energy level at the press of a button.

  • Top Charging Times: Thanks to the cooling system and the DC18RC fast charger, it reaches full charge in just 55 minutes.

  • Durable Construction: Designed with an internal lining that absorbs shocks and a robust outer casing for protection in tough jobsite conditions.

  • Low Self-Discharge: Retains its energy even after long periods of storage, so it is always ready for use.

  • Consistent Performance: Operates reliably even in extreme temperatures (down to -20°C).

    I have purchased 3 batteries with a capacity of 6ah and all three have given me trouble! Two of them within six months and the third within a year. One completely drained and when I tried to charge it, it wouldn't charge, and since then I haven't let them completely drain. However, even without completely draining them, the other two also had problems with charging. I should note that the batteries are in constant use and not sitting idle. I know other professionals who have a similar issue with these specific 6ah batteries. I have sent them for warranty since they are relatively new, and we will see...

    It is definitely accurate if you compare them with similar ones purchased from China, etc., but they are nothing alike. Almost double the duration and multiple times the durability over time compared to the others.
