But central to the Makita Combo Kit's utility is its 18V Lithium-Ion battery pack. So what makes the Li-ion battery different? With Li-ion batteries you get an increase in power with a decrease in the overall weight and size of the battery as compared to Ni-Cd batteries. This positively affects how you work by reducing fatigue. Another advantage is increased number of cycles (number of times you can recharge the battery) and flexible charge holding capabilities. In the case of the Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery, it delivers 2,000 cycles or 2.5X more than Ni-Cd and takes just 30 minutes to reach full charge. And finally, the Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery does not lose its charge when the tool is at rest, something that inherent in Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries.Product Description
