Will these fit my Makita 18V LXT drill?

They are built to the BL1860 form factor and the compatibility list covers most LXT drills, drivers, saws, grinders and lights. Check your tool's model against the list before buying.

Do these work in Makita's original charger?

The listing does not name a charger, but the packs are designed as drop-in replacements for Makita 18V LXT batteries, which charge in Makita's LXT chargers.

How do these compare with genuine Makita 6.0Ah packs?

Capacity and voltage match, and the charge indicator and overcharge protection are included. The cells are third-party, so runtime per charge is similar but overall lifespan is usually shorter than genuine Makita packs.

Is there a memory effect if I recharge them half full?

No. The cells are lithium-ion with no memory effect, so topping up between jobs does not reduce capacity.

Two 6.0Ah 18V batteries and two user manuals. No charger is included.

Can I leave them on the charger overnight?

The built-in protection circuit is designed to prevent overcharge, but as with any lithium-ion pack, unplugging once the charge completes is the safer habit.

Our take on the Vanon BL1860B 18V 6.0Ah Replacement Battery 2 Pack

The Vanon BL1860B is a two-pack of 18V 6.0Ah lithium-ion replacement batteries for Makita's LXT line. Each pack matches the BL1860 form factor and lists compatibility with BL1830, BL1840, BL1850 and BL1860 tools, plus a long list of LXT drills, drivers, saws, grinders and lights. The 6.0Ah cells give longer runtime than the 3.0Ah and 4.0Ah packs most Makita kits ship with, and the built-in charge indicator and overcharge protection are features budget replacements often skip. They suit owners with a drawer of LXT tools who want spare runtime without buying Makita-branded packs, but they are third-party cells, so expect shorter service life than genuine Makita batteries.
