Makita BL1850B (196673-6) LXT 18v 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery
Where uninterrupted run time is critical, such as on remote construction locations or where charging capacity is distant and would mean valuable time lost away from the operating point, extended run time is all important. The Makita BL1850B 5.0Ah 18v Li-ion battery provides 66% more run time than that of the 3.0Ah battery whilst maintaining the same size and weight so maintaining the excellent balance and comfort of a Makita tool in use.
The introduction of a 5.0Ah battery option will suit those operators who regularly undertake high-load operations or are frequently working on large sites far distant from a charging point. The greater capacity within the 5.0Ah battery protects against over-heating and high discharge during heavy demand operations, thus extending the working life of the battery. The need to carry additional batteries, or be able to recharge batteries regularly, can be avoided by choosing the 5.0Ah battery option.
Recharge time for the BL1850B 5.0Ah battery is just 45 minutes when using a Makita DC18RC or DC18RA fast charger. This compares with 22 minutes for the popular 3.0Ah 18v Makita Li-ion battery or 36 minutes for the 4.0Ah Li-ion battery. The battery capacity indicator LED's which show you how much power you have left at the touch of a button.
This BL1850B 5.0Ah battery is compatible with all Makita 18v Li-ion tools that have a star symbol on the connector plate, or a yellow connector plate with a star on, or have a yellow connector plate only.

Purchased to go with my split shaft Multi Function Power Head, the battery charges pretty quickly and bar indicator shows the state of charge and amount of power left. I’ve not had it very long, but from my experience using it with a brush cutter tool fitted with a steel blade, the battery seems to last around 30-40 minutes when worked hard on full power. I’m sure this will improve when used with a strimmer head under more normal circumstances, but I’d say its advisable to have a spare battery or two just in case.

Great battery. Robust and long lasting. Everything you would expect from Makita. Usual excellent service from Power Tool World!

Excellent service - speedy delivery and the battery appears to be of typical Makita standard (very good). I purchased a 'non standars battery' previously - which was less expensive than gebuine Makita and is of very poor performance. Will not be buying any more of those - but will happily buy more of these. Well done Power Tool World.
