MORE POWER LESS WEIGHT

AIR FLOW AROUND THE BATTERY

Lithium-ion’s weight saving

means 18 volt power can be obtained by a battery that weighs the same as a

12 volt Ni-MH battery. Reducing weight whilst retaining power has obvious positive effects on operator fatigue.

EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE

Lithium-ion batteries have greater

life spans than their Ni-MH or

Ni-Cad counterparts this is due to the increased number of charging

cycles Lithium-ion offers and the run time between charges.

2000+ CYCLES TESTED UNDER LOAD

Makita have obtained the cycle

life figure of 2000+ by testing the Lithium-ion 18v 3.0Ah battery under load. 50mm tapping screws

were screwed into standard pine, replicating actual use conditions.

OPTIMUM CHARGING

Makita can achieve the massive

2000+ cycles from their Lithium-ion

batteries because of the Optimum

Charging System. This unique system enables the battery and charging system to talk to each other via a

built in CPU in the charger and CPU in the battery. These two key elements are vital in extending the batteries working life.

Through this two way communication between charger and battery, the charger can recognise the battery and recall its charging history, analyse the batteries condition and usage and charge the battery accordingly.

For optimum efficiency battery

cells need to be kept at a cool

temperature during charging.

To enable each cell in the battery to be cooled the unit needs to be designed in such a way that air flow around the battery is maximised. Unlike some other Lithium-ion battery types the Makita battery design allows each cell to be kept at an optimum temperature which extends the battery life.

Unbalanced cooling will give rise to cells who’s capacities vary and discharge at different rates, this can result in a battery that has a reduced run time, cycle life and capacity.

Makita Lithium-ion batteries have balanced cooling = LONG LIFE.
