Why do manufacturers like Makita make different voltage of batteries?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The answer to this gets highly technical and is best explained by scientists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In the simplest of terms, a battery\u2019s voltage tells you how much power the cell generates in perfect conditions. The voltage signifies the maximum energy potential of a battery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Higher voltages such as 18V and 20V are required to power heavier use power tools like hedge clippers, impact wrenches, cordless drills etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Smaller voltages can operate smaller power tools like cordless screwdrivers, rotary tools and light use drill\/drivers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Those batteries with larger voltage sizes are heavier than smaller voltage batteries and that is always a consideration for manufacturers depending on the actual use of the tool.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Makita Battery Ampere Hours Explained<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Whereas voltage measures the potential energy of a battery, it is the Ah rating (usually 1.0Ah to 6.0AH) that measures the capacity of the battery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">As a general rule, the larger this number, the longer your battery will last for on each charge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For example a 5.0Ah battery will last much longer than a 1.0Ah battery, but not 5 times as long as there is always a decline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Where you can afford to, you should always buy the biggest Ah rating that you can afford.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Makita Lithium-Ion Batteries Explained<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For many years power tools were powered by either Nickel Cadmium (NiCD) batteries were used.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">After that Nickel Metal Hydride batteries(NiMH) came along and started to replace the older NiCD batteries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Those two types allowed recharging and also allowed manufacturers to produce and manufacture a range of cordless power tools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There were however one main problem with these as even when charged, but not being used they would discharge. That meant, when you next cam to use your power tool, the battery had discharged and was flat. You would then have to recharge these, and that could take hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Along came Lithium-Ion batteries (Li-Ion) and these have revolutionised the power tool market.
