Makita LXT Light Weight And Compact
The most immediate difference between Makita Lithium-ion batteries and Ni-MH or Ni-Cad is the weight difference this is achieved due to two factors: chemical composition and physical attributes. Within a Makita Lithium-ion battery the energy is stored through the movement of lithium ions. Lithium has the third smallest atomic mass of all the elements, giving the battery a substantial saving in weight compared to batteries using much heavier metals. The energy density of lithium-ion is typically twice that of the standard Ni-Cad therefore less cells are needed to obtain the required voltage, this is where the mai bulk of the weight saving and compact nature of the battery occurs.
Cordless tools are an excellent choice for minimising the amount of hazards such trailing leads on site. Choosing the right cordless system will reduce down-time and increase productivity. Makita’s Lithium-ion batteries and 110v Optimum Charging System are the obvious choice for site use as the run time, battery cycles and rapid charge are the best in the market to date.
