In the line of the Makita battery tool, the most performant equipment is powered by 18-volt LXT batteries. Lithium-ion batteries of the series are available in versions of different capacities (from 3 to 6 Ah), designed to operate in a wide temperature range (-20 °C to +50 °C), have no memory effect and a tendency to self-discharge.

Makita LXT drills, screwdrivers and wrenches are professional—level tools adapted to strenuous and performant work every day in a row. They usually use brushless high-speed motors, there is a shock mode and useful additional options in the manner of illumination of the working area or speed adjustment.

18-volt batteries are responsible for powering the battery technology of the Makita LXT family.

Batteries from LXT drills are suitable for a large list of other Makita power tools, which also receives power from 18-volt removable batteries. So once you buy a couple of batteries together with a charger, you can power up the entire arsenal of wireless equipment with them and save in the foreseeable future on buying a tool from the same series, but already in the "zero" configuration (i.e. without a replaceable battery).
