Why Choose the Makita 18v Batteries?
Compared with the Ni-Cad equivalent, the Makita 18v lithium ion battery delivers 430% more working capacity during its life time. Makita Batteries are 40% lighter than the older Ni-MH batteries! The batteries have minimal depletion of charge during storage. Makita batteries can be stored for 6 months in a shed or garage then picked up and used with the same charge they were put away with!
Once you have purchased the batteries – either singularly or part of a kit with a machine included, you can start to purchase all other garden machinery or power tools naked which means they become much cheaper to buy as you are not purchasing a new battery each time. Not only will this option save you money but it will also save storage space or make carrying your tools around from site to site much easier - and less heavy!
Think the 18v range isn’t powerful enough for a task? The twin 18v battery range takes 2 of these 18v batteries to make a 36v powered machine. Delivering longer run times and more power, these machines can be used with different Ah batteries – they don’t need to match so you can use 1 x 3.0Ah battery and 1 x 4.0Ah.
