The LXT® System is the world's largest compatible cordless tool system powered by 18V slide-style batteries. Makita's purpose-built motors, battery technology, and enhanced communications work together to deliver unmatched power, speed, and run time.

Makita Lithium-Ion batteries Makita Lithium-Ion batteries are manufactured to strict standards and are engineered with internal electronic circuitry to monitor the battery conditions when in use with Makita tools/equipment and chargers.

We have plants in eight countries around the world (Japan, China, Romania, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the United States, and Germany); about 90% of products manufactured by Makita are made abroad.

3 Ah means that if you pull 3 Amperes from the battery for 1 hour, it will be discharged completely after 1 hour. So if you pull 1 Amps, it will last 3 hours. If you pull 0.5 Amps, it will last 6 hours.

The LXT range, or LXT tools, uses 18V batteries. This range also offers tools using 36V but powered by two 18V batteries. The LXT brushless products are very durable, and they are considered the best in the world.

The 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.

Makita's 5.0Ah batteries are some of the most powerful and long-lasting batteries on the market. They offer up to 66% more runtime than the standard 3.0Ah batteries, making them ideal for demanding applications.

Makita's Origins The Makita Electric Works was originally founded in March 1915 by Mosaburo Makita in Nagoya, Japan. It began as a workshop, repairing electric lighting, motors, and transformers.

Makita Corporation (株式会社マキタ, kabushiki gaisha Makita) (TYO: 6586) is a Japanese manufacturer of power tools. Founded on March 21, 1915, it is based in Anjō, Japan and operates factories in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Romania, the United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Canada, and the United States.

A simple definition of amp hours would be the amount of amperage that the battery pack can deliver for one hour. All other factors ignored (like temperature and vibration), a 3.0 amp hour battery will give you 3 amps of current for an hour.

The main difference between lithium batteries and lithium-ion batteries is that lithium batteries are primary cells and lithium-ion batteries are secondary cells. The term "primary cell" refers to cells that are not rechargeable. on the other hand, lithium-Ion batteries feature secondary cell construction.

LiFePO4 batteries are the safest of the lithium batteries, because they will not catch fire, and won't even overheat. Even if you puncture the battery it will not catch fire. This is a massive upgrade over other lithium batteries, which can overheat and catch fire.

Of all the major power tool brands, Makita is the most competent and comprehensive in OPE. They have a very wide range of tools on both the 18V and 18V X2 platforms along with professional-level gas equipment that features their MM4 4-stroke technology.

The Makita Corporation of America is located in Buford, Georgia, and is part of a global network of ten manufacturing and assembly plants in eight nations for Makita products used on job sites around the world.
