{"product_id":"makita-bl1860b","title":"Makita BL1860B — 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 6.0Ah Battery","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications. The Makita 6.0Ah battery, model BL1860B, combines more run time (two-times more run time per charge than the Makita 3.0Ah battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 55 minutes so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For added convenience, it also features an on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. \n\nThe 18V LXT® 6.0Ah battery is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol™ and\/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. . \n\nMakita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they’re ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. In addition, the Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions. \n\nFor improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created STAR Protection Computer Controls™. STAR Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. Makita, the innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the world’s cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V lithium-ion slide-style battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides up to 2X more run time per charge compared to BL1830\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaches full charge in 55 minutes or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol™ and\/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F\/-20°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner are engineered to protect the battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixteen contact terminals maintain a constant connection with the tool to help prevent power loss or fluctuation, even during high-vibration applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery resists self-discharge and remains ready for use even after long periods of storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakita 18V Lithium-Ion is the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (charger not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem : 18V LXT®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage : 18V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Capacity (Ah) : 6.0Ah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Type : Lithium-Ion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Charge Time (minutes) : 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage Quantity : 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight : 1.5 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC Code : 088381-474900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged Depth (in) : 4.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged Height (in) : 6.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged Width (in) : 6.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kollective.blob.core.windows.net\/uploads\/Images\/Archive\/Exported%20July%202025\/BL1860B\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMakita BL1860B Safety Data Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kollective.blob.core.windows.net\/uploads\/Images\/Archive\/Exported%20July%202025\/BL1860B\/Makita%20BL1860B%20New%20Tool%20Flyers%20%28English%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMakita BL1860B New Tool Flyers (English)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Makita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67729368383778,"sku":"BL1860B","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5712\/2594\/files\/Makita_20BL1860B_20Product_20Shot.jpg?v=1793980320","url":"https:\/\/procontractorsupplyinc.com\/products\/makita-bl1860b","provider":"ProContractor Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
