Makita adds 6.0Ah battery

Makita introduces a new 6.0Ah lithium-ion battery for its 18-volt LXT cordless tool platform.

The new battery is engineered more run time (twice the runtime of the Makita 3.0Ah LXT battery), but with the same weight and dimensions as the lower-capacity 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, and 5.0Ah LXT batteries, according to the company.

"The new 18 volt six amp-hour battery will create new standards in cordless efficiency and productivity," senior product manager Carlos Quintana said in a statement.
