LITHIUM BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED

Battery equipped with quick release: the battery can be easily removed from the machine by simply pressing the quick release button.

Voltage: 18V
Amperage: 3Ah

The practical battery can be recharged at any time, no memory effect (it does not tend to run out after many charge cycles), always providing great power.

Convenient battery charger included (it connects to the home mains as a mobile phone charger).

The battery is connected to the battery charger through the quick coupling

You can also purchase additional batteries in order to ensure prolonged running time.

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

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times higher than nickel–cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long work sessions.
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, the cells of lithium batteries maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. You have the same power for the entire cycle without reducing the motor speed. The battery is running at full power until its complete exhaustion.

LONG CHARGE DURATION: lithium batteries hold their power for a longer time than nickel-cadmium ones, with a number of charges 3-4 times greater
and longer storage times with lower battery loss. Lithium 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 battery-powered tools are recyclable, produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: lithium batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect. Indeed, they 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 tool is ready to use even after months of storage.

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

The 18V lithium-ion battery can be recharged at any time (as the batteries of mobile phones, no memory effect) so it is always ready to use. It lasts approx. 30 times longer than a standard battery. The battery is equipped with a convenient charging indicator and an activation button to prevent accidental starting.

Main advantages of the electric motor:

• More reliable than a petrol engine. It does not have spark plugs, filters, oil dipstick, carburetors or any components which may cause problems.
• Much lighter
• Maintenance-free
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to petrol engine models (great cutting results with minimal power required). No need to constantly provide fuel (which should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations. Instead, almost all engine powered machines which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs have very strong vibrations, making work really unpleasant.
• Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, above all, on the operator’s health.
• Much more reliable and therefore more pleasant to use than a petrol tool.
