From the Manufacturer:

The Future Of Cordless Is Now
Makita's New Cordless LXT Lithium-Ion
Is More Power, Less Weight and Better Engineered

October 3, 2005 - La Mirada, California
Makita USA, Inc, manufacturer of high quality industrial power tools and accessories, announces the launch of the future of cordless. The new Makita 18V LXT Extreme Lithium-Ion Technology is a breakthrough in cordless technology with more power, less weight and better engineering utilizing LXT Lithium-ion battery technology.

Makita is proud to be the leader in bringing this new 18V LXT leading technology to the professional user. "Makita did not just design a longer run time battery; we designed a complete tool solution to redefine the way pro users work. The LXT solution is all muscle no fat with 18V power at 12V weight. LXT allows the pro user to work longer with a better engineered tool solution," said Ken Hefley, Sr Vice President Marketing, Makita U.S.A.

Makita's new LXT Series has been designed specifically for Lithium-Ion technology with less weight in a more compact size. The 4-pole maximum torque motor delivers more efficient power in a compact size. Furthermore, energy is generated every 90 degrees rather than 180 degrees on the magnetic field and the motor is supported with two steel ball bearings for more durability. LXT is 40% less weight and more compact. The better fit ergonomic shape fits like a glove with even pressure while adding more control. The LXT series also come equipped with built-in high impact L.E.D. lights that operate independently from the tool to illuminate the work area.

Makita LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries and Optimum Charging System produces 280% more lifetime work with 2x more battery cycles than the traditional Ni-Cd batteries. Makita's LXT Lithium-ion batteries provide the pro user with many benefits, such as, 1,400 battery life cycles, longer run time, weighs 40% less, 5x lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use any time, a built-in memory chip to communicate with the Optimum Charger for more work, built-in shock absorbing features to protect the battery, sixteen firm holding contact terminals for constant high power, and work in conjunction with the Optimum Charger for maximum battery life.

The new 45-minute Optimum Charger communicates with the LXT battery throughout the charge cycle using the built-in memory chip in the battery and the built-in CPU chip in the charger to recognize the history and battery condition to select the optimal charging method. The optimal charging method uses Active 3 Controls for current control, thermal control and voltage control. The charger also has a built-in fan to cool the battery to produce more lifetime work.

Makita has better technology with a new smart Battery Diagnostic System that enables users to understand the battery condition to maximize battery life. This new system is ideal for large pro and industrial users with many batteries. This system is able to indicate how the battery was used and can optimally refresh each cell for more lifetime work, determine the battery life expectancy based on how many times the battery has been charged or gone through a cycle and can log each battery to keep a permanent record.

Warranty
Makita LXT Lithium-Ion is also backed by Makita's new Three-Year Warranty which covers repair due to defective materials or workmanship up to three years from the purchase date.
