## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the Recommended battery for this product**
A: Hi You can use the BL1830, BL1840 or the BL1850 Makita batteries. Many thanksNikki

**Q: Will my makita charger dc1804t, that came with my makita drill, charge the battery needed for this hedge trimmer?**
A: I think that the DC1804t charger is for NiCd batteries not the 18 volt lithium battery used on the Makita hedge trimmer - I have looked at  pictures of the DC1804T charger on the internet and the battery slot is a completely different shape to that needed for the Makita 18V batteries so I believe the answer to be that the DC1804T charger is not suitable in this instance but this is my view not an 'experts' answer.

**Q: What is the watage of the motor?**
A: It has a 550watt motor,

**Q: How long does the battery last for purchased 2017**
A: I can't answer this specific question but I can describe my own experience using a 2 year old 5Ah battery. I competely cut a 20m long x 2.5m high privet hedge and barely used a quarter of the indicated capacity of the battery. That said I am fastidious about keeping my batteries in good condition but my impression was that the cutter was not nearly as power hungry as my reciprocating saw and could have carried on cutting privet hedges all afternoon!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Good Makita Product
*by O***Y on 13 May 2021*

First important point. This is a"bare" item and as stated on the item page it has no battery or charger. One reviewer could not see the point of this and gave it one star as a result. The point is that if you already have Makita products you already have batteries and charger so you don't need to pay for more when you don't need them. If you have no Makita kit as a general rule expect the cost of battery and charger to be similar to the cost of the product. Now to the review. I don't need a hedge trimmer often but I do have a large garden surrounded by rough hedging. As it is on a hill laying out and packing up cable is a nuisance and means the job gets left so cordless is the way to go. Maybe you lose a little power and by Makita standards this is a budget model but this trimmer has been perfectly capable of gliding through the first cut of the year with no problems at all. It is lightweight (great for my very old body), easy to hold and use and the battery life is great. Being double sided its is also very quick to use at any angle. Once I had finished the job I checked the battery and still had over 50% power. This is using the 5 amp batteries I use for my mower.
