WizeBuyz Take

While it may be pricey, the Makita BL1860B-2's performance is worth the extra cost. Its ability to last twice as long per charge than the 3.0Ah battery, and its fast charging time, make it a must-have for demanding applications.

Cons

  • Expensive when compared to other batteries

  • May take a while to reach a full charge

Pros

  • Works with over 125 Makita 18V cordless tools

  • Charges fully in only 55 minutes

  • Provides up to 2X more runtime per charge than the Makita 3.0Ah battery

This battery has it all: with a charge time of only 55 minutes, it offers up to twice the run time of Makita's 3.0Ah battery, making it ideal for demanding applications. With an on-board LED charge level indicator, you can easily monitor when it's time to recharge. This battery only works with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star symbol and/or Yellow battery receiver under the tool. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge, so they're always ready to go, even after storage. Furthermore, 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, optimizing battery life and delivering a faster charge. It's no wonder why there are over 125 Makita 18V cordless tools with Star protection, and more on the way.
