LXT Lithium-Ion battery and optimum charging system produces 280% total lifetime work with 2x more cycles.  Makita built, D35 high torque motor delivers maximum power for cutting 2x material at 45? with 50? maximum capacity.  Compact design at only 13-5/8 length and weighs only 7.1 lbs. for less operator fatigue.  Ergonomic shape fits like a glove with even pressure and easy control
LXT Lithium-Ion provides longer run time, 5x lower self-discharge (for use any time) and 16 firm holding contact terminals (for constant high power).  45-minute Optimum Charger and battery communicates throughout the charging process using the built-in chip in the battery and built-in CPU chip in the charger. The Charger also uses Active 3 Control for current control, thermal control & voltage control.  45-minute Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery to produce more lifetime work.  Two built-in L.E.D. lights for more illuminated work.  Heavy gauge, precision machined base for smooth, accurate cutting and added durability
Built-in dust blower enhances line of sight and keeps work piece clean.  Two-piece armature and field along with externally accessible brushes for serviceability and longer motor life.
