Customer Reviews for Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion High Capacity Battery Pack 5.0Ah with Fuel Gauge

Buying Makita 18V LXT batteries from an authorized dealer is the only way to insure you are getting genuine Makita batteries. Be careful, poor quality Makita-look-alike counterfeits are being sold online. Home Depot has the lowest price you will find for the 2-pack LXT 6.0 Ah batteries. Fast shipping. Makita factory-sealed clear-plastic 2-pack. Thank you, Home Depot, for a great deal. 5-stars !!!

I bought my first makita set in 2005 some of the batteries are still going will never by anything different stick to the best

I am an avid Makita fan. Over the years i have consolidated all of my tools to one brand, and chose Makita. I like the wide array of tools selection, the promotional deals they run from time to time, and the look & feel of their tools. However, i am disappointed in the latest batch of batteries i had received. After limited use and only a couple of months it is already blinking with an error code and will not hold a charge. I am hoping to have this replace under warranty but i have not reached out to Makita yet.

Nice saw! This lightweight cordless circular saw packs a punch with its 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery. Perfect for quickly cutting through various materials, making it ideal for DIY projects or professional use. The 6-1/2 inch blade is just right for most cutting tasks, and the LED light illuminates the workpiece in dimly lit areas. The tool is easy to handle and maneuver, making precise cuts a breeze. Overall, a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable, versatile, and powerful cutting tool.

I am impressed with how long these 5ah batteries last. If you only have these two you will be able to charge one full before the other ones needs charging.

Purchased a brushless XRJ07ZB reciprocating saw. Purchased BL1830B-2, 2 pack of 3.0 amp hour batteries for $99 before tax. My 5 year old batteries still work. New batteries fit older LXT cordless ☆ tools. Similar numbers. New battery has indicator LED

I really like the Makita line of tools great quality and reliability. These batteries are great they last a long time because of how the charger keeps them cool while charging. I got them a great price.

So far , have not been disappointed with their performance! I use them daily in a Boom Rental facility and charge them once every 2-3 weeks!!!

it's light easy to carry out and Powerful

Couldn’t recommend the 5.0 Ah batteries more. Although they are heavier- suck it up, it builds muscle ;). I love that I can count on the quick charge time and how long each battery lasts. Depending what tool, I can go 2-4 hours on one battery using constantly. I now have three of them and watch for deals. I couldn’t be happier.

All my battery powered tools are Makita so any time Home Depot has these 2pks on sale I grab them up. I love my Makita tools they have performed perfectly every time.

not heavy. Is fast at sinking screws. As long as u have 2 batteries can go all day

Everything I expected. Great balance.

After the $150 sticker shock for this battery subsided, I have been completely satisfied with its longevity while using it to drive deck screws. Lasted a solid 6 hours with continuous use and the charger had it ready to go again in roughly 30 minutes. Highly recommend!

This was purchased during the 2018 Black Friday Deal and it came with x4 BL1850 batteries (separate packaging) I have been using this kit for over a year now and it has standed to everything I could have expected. Pros: Durability, Brushless, Power, Quite, Lightweight, different options of batteries Cons: Only a single bay charger - obviously this is a stretch for the price but being that this comes with x6 batteries but only 1 charger port makes swapping out batteries more important and having to take breaks to charge the batteries is a little annoying. XDT13Z This is the workhorse for me doing any driving and screwing things in. It has multiple speed and is the most important tool in the bag XPH12Z This does wonders with out stopping. Ive cut up to 4" holes with this thing with ease. XSH03Z - This cut wood and plywood with ease, I have not cut anything else using this saw so I cannot review it on other matierals but could not image that having another blade would make much of a difference. DC18RC Only bad part is it comes with a single bay charger. I would recommend this to anyone that is interested in a Makita kit. This is a brushless line at a brushed price.

The best saw I have

Got these on clearance. Perfect size and run time. They are the same size as the 3.0Ah ones but with a longer run time. Note: They will not work with older Makita tools that don't have the star on the battery receiver or yellow receiver and don't support the safety features of the newer batteries. Check the notches. Will not work with the bigger notch.

This saw works really well. It is lightweight and easy to operate with either hand since you can easily see where the blade contacts the wood from either side. I wondered if it would have enough power but it really cuts fast and clean. Also I doesn't seem to be as loud, when cutting, as my big corded circular saw. I got it in a kit with a battery and charger. The battery that came with it and the batteries from my other Makita LXT star tools all work interchangeably without problems or modifications. Its already been knocked off the bench on to the ground (outside) a few times and has not suffered any damage not even a crack. Along with this saw, there is a 20yr old 12V Makita drill driver in the attached image that still works! That's even after being dropped on the concrete from 8ft up several times. No, it is not compatible with the LXT star tools.

Lightweight with no sacrifice of power. Long lasting battery, the kind of tool that makes me want to switch all of my battery operated tools to Makita. Excellent product at a low price point. Perfect for tight spaces!

The batteries are great. Hope they last longer than the original ones that came with my drill. I built this cabinet using my makita drill with the NW batteries.

Last much longer than the 3.0. A bit pricey though

Smooth and quiet

I had the 2.0ah that came with the drill which did great. But these are amazing. I have yet to have a project that I have ran these 5ah to even half. I wish I would have bought them a long time ago. I love the push bottom power indicator. The 5ah are only 1/2 longer than the 2ah batteries and the weight difference is minimal.

The 3.0 AH battery is lightweight and still has enough power to handle the job

One of the best 18 volt batteries on the market for one of the best 18-volt sub compact drills on the market ,hands down !

They work good but they don’t fit in my sawzal or circular saw or angle grinder they are only a few years old and were the primary reason for getting the bigger batteries I am pretty upset about them not working in my tools

I must have gotten a defective battery, because one of them has already started shutting off after one week of use. I will be sending it back to Makita. They have been really good about fixing any problems in the past.

I am actually impressed by how much power this puts out. I had a need to break down 4x8 sheer before taking it to a table saw. this little saw sliced through 3/4 melamine with ease

Perfect no extension cords this tool is just great for maintainenace small protects which fits perfect for my type of jobs

Battery worked well for me, I used this for my x2 tracksaw. Not enough to drain the battery so I can not attest to how long they will last for. Also with the rapid charger they charge in 45minutes which is greater
