What exactly do you get?
This 18V battery is compatible with popular Makita LXT models (BL1815/BL1830/BL1840/BL1850/BL1860) and fits a wide range of tools (drill/drivers, impact drivers, angle grinders, recip saws, multitools, etc.). Nominal capacity is 6.0Ah with Li-ion cells and an advanced BMS (battery management system). Built-in protection covers over/under-voltage, short circuit, overheating and over-charge duration. Handy extra: an LED fuel gauge so you always know remaining charge. Browse all options (including fast-charger bundles) here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oErvNdh
Why 6.0Ah?
More amp-hours = more runtime. Versus 3.0Ah you can get well over double the work time per charge; compared with 4.0Ah it’s roughly ~40% more (task/tool dependent). The product info even mentions “up to 2.3×” vs 3.0Ah. On demanding jobs — driving into hardwood or cutting with an 18V circular saw — you’ll feel the difference instantly. Tip: for long sessions, take a second battery or choose a fast-charger bundle. All variants: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oErvNdh
Fast charger & bundles
Besides single batteries, there are kits with a DC18RC-type fast charger. Input 100–260V (universal), output 14.4–20V (max) delivering 2.5–3A or 6–6.5A depending on model. Translation: you’re back to work sooner. Choose 1, 2, 3 or 4× 6.0Ah and combos with a charger. Smart buy — 2+ pieces add an extra 1% discount.

Price & fees: how it works today
In the past you could get extra charges (VAT, clearance, admin) when the parcel entered your country. Now AliExpress charges VAT upfront and shows any amounts at checkout. The listed €26.59 includes VAT; there will be no extra customs or admin fees afterwards. That makes buying more predictable. See for yourself: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oErvNdh
Why not via “unknown” sites?
You’ll sometimes see these batteries priced much higher on obscure webshops or by dropshippers. You often overpay there and returns are rarely free. On AliExpress, returns are usually free and the rules are clearer. Don’t pay more than you should — check AliExpress pricing first: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oErvNdh
Buyer feedback (summary)
Owners highlight the longer runtime vs 3.0/4.0Ah, solid fit on Makita tools and the convenience of the charge indicator. Fast-charger bundles are also popular because you’re “ready in one go.” Naturally, consumption varies — grinding/cutting drains faster than light fastening.
Step-by-step: choose the right variant
- Define your need: only extra runtime (single battery) or quick turnaround too (bundle with charger)?
- Confirm your platform: 18V LXT? Match your current battery code (e.g., BL1850B).
- Pick the quantity: 1, 2, 3 or 4 units. Ordering 2+ adds an extra 1% discount.
- Order without surprises: price includes VAT, no extra customs/admin fees. Checkout here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oErvNdh
