The Makita BL1850B is a 5.0Ah 18V LXT lithium-ion pack, the mid-capacity battery in Makita's LXT line. It has a four-stage LED fuel gauge on the front so you can check charge without a tool. It fits LXT tools with the star symbol or yellow battery receiver, which carry Makita's Star Protection electronics. Against the smaller 3.0Ah and 4.0Ah packs it runs longer; against the 6.0Ah it is lighter and cheaper to own, and owners generally rate the LXT packs for long service life.
