Which Makita Tools Does It Fit?
This battery works with all Makita 18V LXT cordless tools that accept BL1830B, BL1840B, or BL1850B batteries — including drills, impact drivers, circular saws, angle grinders, reciprocating saws, and blowers. It can be charged with standard Makita 18V lithium-ion chargers (e.g., DC18RC, DC18SD).
Why Choose 6.0Ah Over 5.0Ah?
Capacity directly determines runtime. At 6.0Ah versus 5.0Ah, this battery stores 20% more energy, which translates to roughly 20% longer runtime under the same workload — meaning fewer battery swaps on high-drain tools like circular saws and grinders.
