Our take on the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery

This is Makita's 18V LXT 6.0Ah lithium-ion pack, sold here as a two-pack. It charges in about 55 minutes, carries an LED charge gauge, and uses Star Protection circuitry to cut off on overload, over-discharge and overheating. The 6.0Ah capacity sits above Makita's 3.0Ah and 4.0Ah packs, so it runs longer but weighs more. Owners like the runtime and cold-weather behavior; some report packs that died early or lost capacity.

About the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery

This is a pair of Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries, each rated 6.0 Ah. They work with Makita tools that carry the Star Symbol or have a yellow battery receiver under the tool. A battery recharges fully in 55 minutes, and an LED indicator shows the charge status.

Star Protection Computer Controls guard against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. The charging technology helps prevent self-discharge during storage, and the charger has a built-in fan that helps keep temperatures safe in hot conditions. The battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, down to -4°F (-20°C).

An impact-resistant outer case and a shock-absorbing inner liner protect the battery from drops and impacts. Sixteen contact terminals keep a constant connection, which helps prevent power loss or fluctuation even during high-vibration use.
