Makita Li-Ion 18V Battery with Fuel Gauge Indicator – LXT Series (3.0Ah to 6.0Ah Options)
The Makita Li-Ion 18V Battery with fuel gauge indicator delivers fast charging, long runtime, and intelligent power management across Makita’s industry-leading 18V LXT cordless tool platform.
Designed for professional tradespeople and demanding home users, this battery range provides consistent performance, durability, and productivity on the job site and at home.
Each battery features an integrated LED fuel gauge, displaying remaining charge in four clear stages so users can plan work efficiently and reduce downtime. Makita’s high-energy lithium-ion cells pack more power per cell, allowing fewer cells to be used while reducing overall weight without sacrificing performance.
Built for tough conditions, the batteries include built-in shock absorbers that protect internal cells from vibration and impact. Advanced air vents and internal wall structures cool battery cells evenly while blocking damaging dust and debris, extending battery life in harsh environments.
A built-in memory chip communicates usage history with compatible Makita chargers, while 16 contact terminals ensure a firm, stable connection with the tool—even in high-vibration applications. These batteries charge faster than standard lithium-ion packs and deliver longer runtime for improved efficiency and reliability.
⚠ Multiple capacity options available. Please ensure you select the correct battery capacity before purchasing.
