Can I use the slimmer Makita Battery (BL1815) or does this kit only accept the bigger battery that it comes with the (BL1830)?

Ñot sure about the different size battery, we have only used the one that came with the tools.

You can use the lighter battery with the drill and impact and light just not the sawzall, circular saw, or grinder.

I bought this exact same unit in January. It uses the same battery and charger that the previous Makita drill uses. DC-18RA is on the charger and the batteries say BL1815. This is the best drill by far that I have ever owned BTW.

Better in that mine was 4.0 amp hours capacity but was sold as 3.0 amp hour. I tested it and the capacity was better than my Makita batteries. Worse in that the new Makita batteries use cell balancing and draw power from all the cells for the internal chip. These generics do not allow cell balancing and draw power from only two of the cells. And these are a bit tight on the fit to some Makita tools.

My battery is 4500 mAh (4.5 Ah). I just tried it on my oldest 18V Makita tool and it works fine. I use it for the Makita vacuum cleaner. It is the perfect combination, providing more working time for cleaning.

The battery sent DOES fit the charger. However it will NOT charge. A Makita factor battery does charge however

I know it only accepts Makita or compatible batteries. I use the standard batteries that come with their tools and a double size battery(Makita BL1830 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery) for extra hours of use.

Any DeWalt 20v battery will work, yes. The thinner, lower mAh rating battery just won't last as long as the bigger one.

The powerextra battery is a substitute for the makita BL1830 battery. If your tools use that battery, then this particular powerextra battery should work with it as well. It works with my makita hammer driver-drill bhp454. I charged and used it a few times without any problems, but haven't put it through a real long day yet.

I believe you have the LXT model. The LXT batteries will work on either the LXT or the "compact" models, but the compact batteries will not work on the LXT. The saw is great, but it requires the larger LXT batteries. I have both models of the 18v Makita and must watch when changing batteries. I have tried and the compacts are a no go.

The battery you purchase was not a Makita battery. The battery you purchased is made for a certain class of 18v Makita cordless tools.

Sorry, was curious so checked out Makitas site. The Specs all seem the same, part breakdowns show different part numbers though. Only difference I saw was when you buy the kit one is a bag the other a hard plastic case.

the batteries will work with any other cordless makita device that utilizes the lithium style battery. the brushless motor makes no difference

I use mine with the bl1830 and it last quite a while limbing juniper trees. My only problem with this saw is has leaked oil from the case since the first time I,ve used it.

I don't know. What I do know is that one of the replacement batteries I purchased has already quit recharging. The other one is still doing fine. One of my OEM Makita's is still doing fine too (and that's 6 years later). You take a chance either way.

This vacuum uses a smaller 18 volt battery than my drill did. It is apparently the newer designed battery. This one is a flatter design but there are two sizes of this battery and both work but if you have the older, heavier battery pack it will not work in this product. If in doubt which battery pack you have you can go to makitatool.com and check the part numbers that work with this product. This vacuum works with the Li-Ion battery not the Ni-Cad battery pack. These batteries charge in about 15 minutes.

I've found the 36V battery to be a little lighter and seems to run slightly longer, (about one minute on a full charge) than the 18VX2 battery in my Makita Chain Saw or Blower. The nice thing about the 18VX2 battery adapter is that it is "Star 18V", which means it should be able to use the new 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah 18 volt batteries Makita is coming out with.

M18 Milwaukee battery. Look up the kit 2625-22? Or any other Milwaukee M18 kit. They all use the same battery. From my experience, you want the larger XC, or Xtra Capacity, one for this so it lasts longer.
