About Makita’s 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Technology:

Already a pioneer in cordless powertool technology, Makita changed the game with its breakthrough 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Series. What started as 7 tools has grown to a family of over 35, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen and aspiring home handymen alike.
Makita also added 18V compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita’s 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita’s 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.

Makita’s 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles–2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and 16 firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita’s Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18V compact lithium-ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18V LXT and 18V compact lithium-ion batteries that plugs into 12V DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility and convenience. Makita’s growing line of LXT cordless tool solutions features a wide range of industrial-quality power tools, including cordless drills, driver-drills, impact drivers, impact wrenches, saws, grinders, screwguns, rotary hammers, and more.

The LXT Series also offers a jobsite radio, rechargeable flashlights, and several different combo kits.
