The Makita BL1860 LXT Li-ion 6.0Ah battery pack will work with your Makita 18V machine if it has a star on the connector plate, has a yellow connector plate with a star or has a yellow connector plate only. A built in memory chip records the battery usage history. While the battery is connected it will transmit the data to the charger. The 6.0Ah battery provides increased capacity for longer runtime and maintains the same size and weight as the 5.0Ah, 4.0Ah and 3.0Ah.
