BL1860B-2 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 6.0Ah Battery, 2/pk, Black

I bought this Makita dual battery pack and I’m really impressed. The battery life is amazing, letting me work all day without worrying about running out of power. The performance stays strong, keeping my tools running at full power until they’re completely drained. Definitely a great investment if you use Makita tools and need dependable, long-lasting batteries.

Had been looking to buy this size of battery at the big orange hardware store for a while now. Price was a factor and Amazon had em for less than half of the other store's price. I went to the Makita site and followed the link "where to buy online" and Amazon was one of the sellers listed so I assume they are authorized Makita seller. Batteries seem authentic and work well. They do take quite a while to charge but the run time is excellent. I use em strictly for the Makita mini shop blower and the larger blower. I had read that these were no better than the 5.0 which I have, but I have to disagree......they do run longer than the 5.0. I may use them for the SPTA cordless polisher that they are compatible with. Happy with em so far.

Great product !

I just did a deep dive into these, and are definitely real Makita brand and not a knock-off. Yeah, they're expensive, but you get what you pay for here.

Expensive for what you get but definitely helps when drilling concrete compared to the standard 3amp batteries. Could/Should last longer than they do between each charge. Takes forever to charge them, 30+ minutes

I have noticed a slightly longer life in the mower. I can get about 20% more over the 5Ah batteries. But then these are also brand new and over time they may lower in life. It could be the thickness of the grass, the height of the mower or many other factors. They are only slightly larger that 5ah, Also there is no increase in power, just in how long the mower runs. For cordless batteries as they are only slightly larger I will probably use these more as I hate to run out of juice in the middle of a project. As always, Makita has excellent quality and design. The may be more expensive but they are also well engineered.

I bought 2 of these 6Ah and they were good and extended the use of the tools used. I had 10 5Ah and wanted to see the difference. So I purchased 10 6Ah and three years later only four hold a charge. I’m buying more 5Ah today and staying away from the 6Ah. All ten of my 5A work still and only four of the 6Ah still work.

As always, Makita comes in clutch. These batteries are a significant upgrade to my old 2.0ah batteries. They hold a charge for a long time and seem to give my little hand blower more punch. I'll be buying more of these for sure!

Have all Mikita power tools. They work well and their battery power last long, reliable and worth the money.

So far, it works pretty well for me, as a professional taper, these batteries combined with the Makita drill mixer allowed me to retire my corded drill

My biggest batteries to this point were four amp hour, these six amp hour batteries literally last twice as long.

Bought two 6ah Makita batteries for my lawn mower. It usually takes two 4ah batteries each time and swap once for another pair to finish my lawn. These two 6ah batteries just powerful enough to get it through the whole lawn with some energy left for me to repeat some cut for missing area. Well worth it.

The box with 2 batteries was very small, just big enough for the 2 batteries, and NO filler padding for protection. The box was dented on 1 corner, but the batteries both charged up, so at first I thought it was OK, but now that I have used it a few times, I have noticed a problem..... I have to use 2 at the same time in my mower, and I noticed that 1 of the batteries drains quick. I looked it over and that 1 has a dent on the 1 corner that matches the box. So not sure of the long term lifespan of the 1 battery that was damaged in delivery.
