There seems to be two main causes as to why your Makita 18v batteries die. The first is overheating which is due to several reasons. The second main cause is that the first two cells fail due to them being used to power the circuity of the battery management chip.

Bosch, DeWalt, Hitachi, Makita, Milwaukee, and Ridgid all warranty their Lithium-ion batteries for 3 years. Of course, if you take care of your batteries, there’s no reason not to expect them to last longer.

How to Check a Cordless Drill’s Battery Plug the battery in and charge it for at least an hour. Touch the multimeter probes to the two battery terminals. Check the voltage indicator on the multimeter. If the voltage indicator is at or below the voltage rating on the battery, the battery needs to be replaced.

Slide a compatible Makita battery pack into the battery charger. The charging light will change from green to red, indicating the battery is charging. If the charging lights blink red then green, the battery cartridge can not be charged. This means the battery is likely damaged or worn out.

If your battery can’t hold its charge anymore and drains extremely fast, you might be able to save it by doing a full recharge. You’ll need to completely drain the battery for this to work, so once it reaches zero percent, keep turning it back on until it doesn’t even have enough power to boot.

Flashing Green Light – Ready to charge. Solid red light – Charging (Battery is below 80% charge) Solid red and green light – Charging (Battery is above 80% charge) Solid green light – Charging complete. Flashing red light – Delay in charging (Battery is cooling or the battery is too cold to charge).

Every Makita® Lithium-Ion Tool, Battery, Charger, and Pneumatic Nailer is warranted to be free of defects from workmanship and materials for the period of THREE YEARS from the date of original purchase.

The following are seven unconventional ways to revive a dead car battery: Use Epsom Salt Solution. The Hard Hand Cranking Method. The Chainsaw Method. Use Aspirin Solution. The 18-Volt Drill Battery Method. Use Distilled Water. The Hot Ash Method.

Seal the Li-ion battery in an airtight bag and put it in the freezer for about 24 hours, ensuring there is no moisture in the bag that could get the battery wet. When you take it out of the freezer, let it thaw for up to eight hours to restore it to room temperature.

“Now they bring them to one of our service centers or drop them in a Call2Recycle collection box at a local home improvement store. Call2Recycle has made it super easy to recycle.” Makita features the Call2Recycle Battery Seal on each of its rechargeable battery packs.

All major power tool brands build their 18V (or 18V-class) battery packs with (5) or (10) 18650-size rechargeable Li-ion cells. Bosch, Milwaukee, and Hitachi all use Samsung INR cells, Dewalt uses what appear to be Sanyo cells, and Makita uses what appear to be Sony cells.

Batteries are constructed with multiple 3.6 volt 18650 Lithium-Ion cells in a series arrangement (18v = groups of five 18650 cells in series), or 14.4 volts (14.4v = groups of four 18650 cells in series). “18” meaning 18mm in diameter and “650” meaning 65mm in length.

Laptop batteries usually cost a fortune (my 12-inch powerbook battery is like $130). This is why you should take the road less traveled and rebuild your battery. So what do you have to do? Well it s not too complicated, you just have to basically replace the individual cells inside of the battery casing.

Rechargeable Batteries Can Be Easy Reconditioned. If you place a partially charged or half charged battery into a rapid charger the device doesn’t know how much charge is already present. It will simply deliver a full charge as it’s intended to do.

There are 5 warning signs that your lithium battery is damaged: The capacity is reduced. The voltage is low. The self-discharge rate is high. The battery is overheating. The battery is bloated.

Makita insists that they will continue to launch new products for their 18V LXT cordless power tool system. But, what if you want any of the new features being touted about the XGT 40V Max platform? It does not look like these benefits will come to the 18V lineup.

The Makita 6.0Ah battery, model BL1860B, combines more run time (two-times more run time per charge than the Makita 3.0Ah battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 55 minutes so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For added convenience, it also features an on-board L.E.D. Makita USA - Product Details -BL1860B

 

 

 

The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications.

Makita, the innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the world’s cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V lithium-ion slide-style battery. Note that model BL1860B-2 is a two-pack and includes (2) 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 6.0Ah batteries.

The Makita 3.0Ah battery (BL1830B) has a category-leading charge time of only 30 minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. It also features an L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge.

 

At the heart of the Makita 18V LXT® System is the efficient Rapid Optimum Charger. The Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools the battery (sold separately) by forcing air through the battery's air vents during the charging process for faster charging. Makita USA - Product Details -DC18RC

 

When a Makita power tool stops working because of a depleted battery, you can recharge the battery by inserting it into the Makita charger. But what if the Makita charger stops working? Check the lights. If they are flashing, you can use the indicator lights to identify the problem, but only if you know what the flashing lights mean. Makita Charger Flashing (Red, Green, Yellow) Light Meaning

 

Makita chargers are compatible with a specific battery type. For instance, if you insert NIMH batteries instead of Lithium-Ion batteries, the lights will flash because the device cannot charge the batteries. 5). Dead Charger Makita Charger Flashing (Red, Green, Yellow) Light Meaning
