Makita expands 18V lithium-ion battery line

Makita expanded its 18V lithium-ion cordless tool platform with the 18V Compact Lithium-Ion 2.0 amp-hour battery (BL1820) and the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0 Ah battery (BL1840).


Makita BL1840 batteryThe two new batteries are engineered for more run-time and faster charging than other 2.0 Ah and 4.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries on the market today. With 80+ 18V cordless solutions, Makita has the world's largest 18V lithium-ion tool line-up powered by slide-style 18V lithium-ion batteries, giving contractors unmatched breadth-of-line, power and efficiency.

The new 18V LXT 4.0 Ah battery delivers even more run time, but with a minimal increase in charge time for maximum efficiency.

  • Up to 35% more run time than the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 3.0 Ah battery (BL1830)
  • Reaches a full charge in only 40 minutes - two-times faster than leading competitors' 18V 4.0 Ah batteries (some requiring up to 1 hour 30 minutes to reach a full charge).
  • In side-by-side internal testing, an 18V LXT® Hammer Driver-Drill powered by the new 4.0 Ah battery drilled 25 holes, compared to 18 holes by the 3.0 Ah battery-powered drill (application: 2-9/16" self-feed into 2x10 SPF).
  • Fully compatible with 18V LXT® and 18V Compact cordless tools that carry the star symbol.

The new 18V Compact Lithium-Ion 2.0 Ah battery (BL1820) provides more run time and a fastest-charge time for compact cordless power:
