Our take on the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 6.0Ah Battery, 2-Pack (BL1860B-2)

These are two Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery packs rated at 6.0Ah, the largest capacity in the LXT line. Makita says they deliver up to twice the runtime of the older 3.0Ah BL1830 pack and recharge in 55 minutes or less on a compatible charger. An onboard LED gauge shows remaining charge so you can plan swaps. They suit owners of high-draw LXT tools like circular saws, grinders and blowers who want fewer interruptions, and they cost more than smaller packs but hold up under heavy loads.
