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.

Expected 5.0 Ah battery to last longer. My previous 5.0 Makita battery was lost. This one was an expensive replacement. I used it in the open (cold) air cutting posts for arris rail. Despite charging battery at end of each day I found the battery ran out before the day was out. Very surprised as use of circular saw was reasonably light. Not sure if it's the cold weather or I've bought a dud battery.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear this but as the order was placed over a year ago the manufacturer warranty on this will now have expired. Kind regards, Ian@Powertoolworld.co.uk
