Battery Type
Lithium-ion
Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium) battery. These batteries are reasonably priced but are very damaging to the environment. They also need to be completely discharged and cool to be able to accept a full charge.
Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery. With this battery technology it was possible to increased the amperage to 3.0Ah, they are also a better option environmentally than Ni-Cad. They can be fully charged whether they are warm or partially discharged.
Li-ion or Lithium-ion batteries. Lighter weight, quicker charging and with more run time than an equal voltage Ni-Cad or Ni-MH battery. These batteries have a chip that communicates with the charger for optimum charging. Lithium-ion batteries also offer much improved charge retention over long periods of storage. Li-ion batteries do not have to be fully discharged before charging in fact they can be charged at any time with no ill effect.
Battery Quantity (3.0 Ah)

Battery Voltage The voltage of a battery gives power to the machine. An 18V tool is more powerful than a 14.4V or a 7.2V. Note: this only applies to machines in the same series.
Amperage The easiest way to describe the amperage of a battery is to relate it to the size of the petrol tank in your car. A 3.0Ah battery has a bigger tank and can therefore work for longer than a 1.3Ah battery of the same voltage.
Vibration: Drilling
2.5 m/sec²
Vibration Machines by their nature have the habit of transferring vibration to the user. Use AVT machines to reduce your exposure to vibration. Vibration above 2.5 m / s ² is harmful.
The maximum time of exposure depends on the vibration value: 5 m/s²: 8 hours 10 m/s²: 2 hours 20m/s²: ½ hours
Tri-axial vibration values are used to calculate all Makita vibration figures.
Vibration K factor
1.5 m/sec²
K factor The "K factor" is an industry standard uncertanty figure. It represents the natral variation in testing for vibration. The true vibration figure could be + or - the K factor figure.
Noise sound pressure
72 dB(A)
Sound level Machines have the habit of producing noise. Noise above 80 dB (A) is harmful. The maximum time of exposure depends on the sound pressure level:
K factor The "K factor" is an industry standard uncertanty figure. It represents the natral variation in testing for noise. The true noise figure could be + or - the K factor figure.
