The Power of Makita’s 18V LXT Batteries
The DCJ205Z has an on/off heat controller, with three heat settings to adjust to changing weather conditions. Heat is generated by Makita’s 18V Lithium-Ion batteries, sold separately, including the 2.0Ah (BL1820), 5.0Ah (BL1850Ah), and 6.0Ah (BL1860) batteries. Duration of heat time varies with battery and heat setting. A battery pocket is on the rear-left side, located out of the way, but within reach for quick and easy access. Users can also keep portable electronic devices charged-up with the convenient on-board USB power port.
The new 18V LXT Heated Jacket is part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, which offers 200+ tools and is the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
