Product Description
Makita BL1860 18V 6.0Ah LXT Lithium-Ion Battery (Twin Pack)
The Makita BL1860 18V 6.0Ah LXT Lithium-Ion Battery (Twin Pack) is a high-capacity power solution for professional cordless power tools in the batteries and chargers category.

Low self-discharge keeps them ready for use after periods of storage, while the slide-on interface with multi-contact terminals ensures a secure connection and consistent power delivery.
