The Makita BL1860B is a 6.0 Ah 18V LXT lithium-ion pack, the high-capacity option for Makita's 18V cordless lineup. It roughly doubles the run time of a 3.0 Ah pack and charges in about 55 minutes on a Rapid Optimum Charger. An on-board LED gauge shows charge level. It is a good fit for heavy users of 18V LXT tools who want fewer battery swaps; the trade-off is added weight and bulk versus smaller packs, and it only works in tools with STAR Protection.

Owners of Makita 18V tools generally rate the 6.0 Ah pack highly for run time and charge speed, and the charge gauge is a commonly cited convenience. The main complaints are weight and the need for a compatible STAR Protection tool.
The Makita BL1860B is an 18V LXT lithium-ion slide-style battery with a 6.0 Ah capacity. It provides up to 2X more run time per charge than the BL1830 (3.0 Ah) battery. It reaches full charge in 55 minutes or less, and an on-board LED indicator shows the charge level.
The battery has an impact-resistant outer case and a shock-absorbing inner liner. Sixteen contact terminals keep a constant connection with the tool to help prevent power loss or fluctuation, even during high-vibration work. It delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, including winter conditions down to -4°F (-20°C). It resists self-discharge, so it stays ready for use after long periods of storage.
STAR Protection computer controls let the tool and battery exchange data in real time. They protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. The battery works only with STAR Protection tools, which are marked with a star symbol and/or a yellow battery receiver under the tool. The charger is not included. The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger is sold separately.
