- Does the BL1850B fit all Makita 18V tools?
- It uses Makita's 18V LXT slide-on mount, so it fits tools and chargers in that line. It does not fit Makita's 12V, 40V or older Ni-Cad tools.
- How long does it take to charge?
- About 45 minutes on a compatible Makita Li-ion charger. Charging time depends on the charger model.
- Is it the same size as the 3.0Ah and 4.0Ah packs?
- Yes. Makita lists the same size and weight as its 3.0Ah and 4.0Ah batteries, so it fits the same tools and holsters.
- Why does it seem weaker when new?
- Makita says new packs need about 6 to 8 full charge and discharge cycles to reach optimum performance.
- Does it come with a charger?
- No. It is the battery pack only and works with existing Makita Li-ion chargers.
- Can I leave it on the charger?
- Makita's Li-ion chargers are designed for the packs, but for best life store the battery cool and partly charged if it will sit unused for long.
