Makita Lithium Technology:

Makita always takes into consideration the research behind the positive features of a good quality tool, it has to be light (so lifting the tool is easily achieved), it has to be reliable (so the tool will always finish the job no matter how difficult or hard it is) and it has to be safe, which is the number 1 aspect of a tool we always consider first, your safety is the most important thing to Makita

Fortunately all these features are part of technology of the Lithium-Ion battery, the facts speak for themselves: this battery has a 40% weight saving compared to Ni-Cad or Ni-Mh batteries, it has up to 280% more lifetime working power than Ni-Cad batteries and this battery is also environmentally safe

The technology behind this new advancement in battery evolution is based on the scientific methods of High Energy, high energy is based on storing energy to use at timed intervals; the negative electrode uses new nano-particles to prevent organic liquid electrolytes from reducing during battery recharging, the nano-particles quickly absorb and store a vast mount of Lithium-Ions without causing any deterioration in the in the electrode

These batteries have very long life cycles; they also have no memory effect unlike Ni-Cad and Ni-MH, which means there is no need to discharge the battery before recharging it
