FAQs
Is the Makita 18V being discontinued?
The Makita 18V range is not being discontinued. Makita have one of the largest ranges of 18V cordless tools in the world and they are continuing to add to this range regularly. Makita’s new 40V Max XGT system offers more power for heavy-duty applications, but intended to complement the 18V LXT system, not replace it.
What is the difference between Makita BL1850 and BL1850B?
The "B" in BL1850B indicates that it’s an updated version with the added charge level indicator. If you’re buying a new Makita 18V 5.0Ah battery, you’ll most likely find the BL1850B, as it’s the more recent and readily available version.
What is the life expectancy of a Makita 18V battery?
It’s hard to say how long your Makita 18V battery will last, but there are things you can do to maximise the life span. Extreme heat or cold can shorten the batteries life. It’s best to store them in a cool, dry place, ideally at around 40% charge. While there’s no guaranteed lifespan, you can expect a battery to last for a few years with proper care.
What is the difference between a 4.0 Ah and a 5.0 Ah battery?
The main difference between a 4.0Ah and a 5.0Ah battery lies in their capacity, which directly affects the runtime of your tools. A 5.0Ah battery will provide about 25% more runtime than a 4.0Ah battery for the same tool and workload.
