The new Makita cordless lawn mower is engineered to deliver a smoother, quieter and more efficient mowing experience, even across large residential areas. An optimised forward‑tilted blade design reduces double cutting, lowering motor load and maximising runtime, so more lawn gets done on a single charge with consistently clean results.
Designed with operator comfort in mind, the electric blade brake significantly reduces switch lever effort by approximately 80% compared to mechanical systems. This minimises hand fatigue and improves control, making longer mowing sessions easier and more comfortable.
Built to handle demanding conditions, the mower features a 460mm heavy‑duty steel deck that delivers strength, stability and long‑term durability. Compatibility with high‑capacity Makita 18V LXT batteries, including BL1890 and BL18120, allows users to mow up to 1,920 square metres when paired with two high‑output batteries—ideal for larger lawns without interruption.
For noise‑sensitive environments, Quiet Mode limits motor speed to 2,500rpm, reducing sound output while maintaining effective cutting performance. Combining power, runtime and refined operation, this mower delivers the reliable performance professionals expect and homeowners appreciate—another example of Makita’s commitment to smarter cordless outdoor solutions.

The Makita DC18RD chargers two batteries at a time, making it a vital part of any jobsite or busy home workshop. Makita DC18RD charge time depends on the amperage of the batteries; so below we have listed the charge times:
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 useage.
