Makita BL1016-L 12V MAX Li-Ion Battery
The New Makita 12V Max platform has developed and introduced slide-style batteries to their sub-compact 12V tool range, unlike the cassette-style batteries from previous models. The 12V Max slide batteries offer improved high capacity, ease of use, and durability, styled like the 18V range.
The benefits of slide type over cassette type batteries are a more stable contact between battery and tool - multiple contact points ensure stable connection even with the tool under extreme vibration, the same ergonomic design as 18V LXT products, and battery terminals are protected from shorting out when thrown into tool bags.
Using a slide battery allows the 12V Max range of tools to have more slender, ergonomically designed handles - smaller and more comfortable than handles of cassette-style batteries that must be designed around the battery.
