- Will this fit my Makita 18V LXT tools and charger?
- It uses the Makita 18V LXT slide mount and is listed as a replacement for BL1850B and BL1860B, so it should fit LXT drills, saws and chargers. It will not fit Makita's 12V, 40V XGT or older NiCad tools.
- Is it worth it over a genuine Makita battery?
- At $27.88 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it costs far less than a genuine Makita 5.0Ah pack and holds more charge on paper. The trade-off is unknown cell quality, no stated safety certification and no Makita warranty.
- Does it really deliver 8.0Ah?
- Budget third-party packs often test below their rated capacity. Expect real runtime closer to a good 5.0–6.0Ah pack rather than a true 8.0Ah, and check the capacity with a charger that displays it if you have one.
- Is it heavier than the Makita 5.0Ah battery?
- Yes. More cells mean more weight, so a drill or saw will feel nose-heavier than with a 5.0Ah pack. For overhead work or long one-handed use, a smaller pack is easier.
- What is in the box?
- One 8.0Ah 18V battery. No charger is included, and it ships in retail packaging.
- When is the price lowest?
- Only one store lists it new, so there is no price history to time a purchase against. Watch Walmart around Black Friday and spring tool sales for the occasional markdown.
- Where is the 8.0Ah BL1860B 18 Volt Battery Replace for Makita 18V Battery cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $27.88, as of our latest check.
