Lithium-ion battery + charger - carrying case

LITHIUM BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED

Battery provided with quick release: the battery can be easily detached and pulled out from the machine, by simply pressing the quick release button.

Voltage: 18 V
Amperage: 5 Ah

The practical battery can be recharged at any time, no memory effect (it does not have a tendency to run out after many refills), always ensuring a great power.

Handy battery charger included (it connects to the home current just like a normal smartphone).

The battery is connected to the battery charger through the quick release, in the same way as it is connected to the machine

Additional batteries can be purchased separately for extended working autonomy.

Therefore, only one battery and one battery charger are needed in order to use the full range of equipment offered by Makita.

Lithium-ion battery advantages

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times higher than the nickel–cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long periods of use.
Ideal for medium-large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE BATTERY LIFE: the charge of the lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, which power gradually decreases, lithium-ion batteries’ cells maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. The same charge for the entire cycle without reducing the motor speed. The battery is running at full
power until its complete exhaustion.

CHARGE DURATION LENGTHNESS: Lithium-ion batteries hold their power for a longer time than the nickel-cadmium ones, with a number of charges 3-4 times greater
and longer storage times with lower battery’s loss. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable up to 2000 times!

LIGHTWEIGHT: Lithium-ion batteries have the best power-weight rate. They weight 1/3 of the nickel-cadmium ones.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Lithium-ion battery-powered tools are recyclable and are produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect. Indeed, they don't fail to provide maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles.
Few minutes of charge are enough to complete the work.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: low run down rate (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries) so your lawn mower will be ready to use even after months of storage.

BATTERY CHARGER: the lithium batteries chargers allow to reduce the energy consumption by an average of 35%.

Electric motor and controls

Main advantages of the electric motor:

More reliable than a petrol engine. It does not feature a spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburettors, or any component that may cause problems.
Zero maintenance
Much lighter weight
Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to petrol engine models (great results with minimal power required). In addition, the operator does not always have to obtain fuel (which should always be fresh).
Zero vibrations, thanks to the electric motor. Almost all petrol powered machines, which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibration, making the work really uncomfortable.
Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, above all, on the operator’s health.
Much silent and therefore practical to use.

Easy and user-friendly controls that are all located on the handle.

Below the machine there is a chuck key for the assembly and disassembly of the auger bits (not included), a LED light that allows you to operate even in low light conditions and a speed switch with 2 speed options.

Low: 350 rpm (recommended for most tasks)

High: 1400 rpm

The side handle can be fixed on both sides and with various adjustments thanks to the numerous screw holes.

Focus on the chuck.
