The Makita DUC306Z is powered by two 18V Li-ion batteries so you get 36V of power and runtime without leaving the 18V platform. The purpose-built outer rotor brushless motor features a direct drive system for high-efficiency cutting. The torque boost mode will increase the chain speed to accurately match the material being cut. The captive nuts and adjustable automatic chain lubrication make maintenance more efficient, whilst the kickback brake and variable speed trigger provide added safety and control.
The Makita 18V LXT Li-ion 5.0Ah battery, BL1850B-L, charges faster and works longer than standard Li-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications.
The Makita 5.0Ah battery combines more run time (66% more run time per charge than the Makita BL1830 3.0Ah battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 45 minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For added convenience, it also features an L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. The BL1850B-L resists self-discharge so it is ready for use even after long periods of little to no usage.
The Makita DC18RD charges two batteries at a time, making it a vital part of any job site or busy home workshop. The most asked question we receive is how long it takes to charge batteries? The Makita DC18RD charge time depends on the amperage of the batteries; so below we have listed the charge times:
