- Is this battery compatible with all Makita 18V LXT tools?
- Yes. It is a standard 18V LXT slide-on pack, so it fits LXT drills, drivers, saws, trimmers, blowers and lights. It does not fit Makita's 40V XGT or 12V CXT tools.
- Does it come with a charger?
- No. The pack is sold with an 18V LXT flashlight, not a charger. Any Makita LXT charger will charge it.
- How does 4.0Ah compare with 5.0Ah or 6.0Ah LXT packs?
- It gives roughly two-thirds the runtime of a 6.0Ah pack in the same tool, but it is lighter and smaller. Choose the larger packs for long cutting or blowing sessions and this one for lighter, shorter jobs.
- Can I leave it on the charger or in a hot car?
- Makita's protection circuitry guards against overload and over-discharge, but heat shortens lithium-ion life. Store it cool and dry and charge it before long storage.
- Is the included flashlight useful?
- It runs on the same LXT pack, so it is handy for camping, power outages and dark work areas. If you already own LXT lights, the battery alone is the main draw.
