Makita’s LXT System is a popular 18-volt, slide-style battery system compatible with 320-plus cordless tool solutions. Makita’s purpose-built motors, battery technology and enhanced tool communications work together to deliver unmatched power, speed and run time. With solutions for every trade, professional users get maximum performance and efficiency within a single battery platform.
Developed by tradespeople for tradespeople, the LXT system is a versatile cordless tool solution. The cordless platform is the one-battery solution built for contractors’ needs, offering unlimited tool-up versatility to manage a jobsite. With productivity and efficiency in mind, the LXT system offers a wide range of interchangeable batteries (1.5Ah., 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah and 6.0Ah), with compatibility across the entire LXT platform.
For higher-demand applications, the LXT system expands to offer several high-performance 36-volt (18Vx2) tools using the same battery platform. The tools are powered by two 18-volt batteries for maximum power, speed and run time. By using two 18-volt LXT batteries side-by-side, you get 36 volts of power, with all your cordless tools operating within one single battery platform.
Advanced motor technology: up to 50% more motor life
Makita-built brushless motors eliminate carbon brushes and run contact-free, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The electronically controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and speed to the changing demands of application.
Enhanced communication: efficient power management
Star Protection Computer Controls™ is a communication technology between the tool and battery that exchanges data in real-time to protect against overload, over-discharge and overheating. If conditions threaten the status of your tool, then the tool automatically turns off. Additionally, it’s at the user’s discretion to restart the tool or change the battery in order to continue use.
Ultimate performance: built to work in any condition
The LXT Battery delivers 50 per cent more constant power and longer run time, even in extreme temperatures. The charger communicates with the battery’s built-in chip to optimize battery life, controlling current, voltage and temperature. A built-in fan circulates air through the battery during the charging process to cool the battery for faster charge time.
Make your applications more productive with not only longer run time, but also more power, intelligent technology and complete compatibility. All Makita cordless tools, lithium-ion batteries and battery chargers are warranted to be free of defects from workmanship and materials.
