About 7.2V
In short
Makita’s 7.2V packs are small stick-style lithium-ion batteries. On ToolPicker they matter because they power Makita’s gas nailers: the GN900SE first fix nailer, the GF600SE second fix nailer and the GN420CSE concrete nailer. In a gas nailer the fuel cell drives the nail and the 7.2V battery runs the fan and the spark, so one charge lasts thousands of shots.
The 7.2V packs are a separate system. They don’t fit Makita’s 12V CXT, 18V LXT or 40V XGT tools, and those batteries don’t fit the 7.2V tools. Makita also uses 7.2V packs in a few pencil drivers.
Strengths
- Small and light: the 1.5Ah BL0715 weighs 0.12kg
- Gas nailers get thousands of shots per charge, because the battery only runs the fan and spark
- Charged on the DC10WA charger supplied in Makita's UK gas nailer kits
Considerations
- A separate system: no cross-over with Makita 12V CXT, 18V LXT or 40V XGT batteries
- A very small range of tools
- The BL7010 1.0Ah pack in the nailer kits no longer has a Makita UK page
