About the Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT Lithium-Ion, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), String Trimmer Kit with 2 Batteries (5.0Ah), Cordless, Brushless - XRU18PT
A demanding task calls for a great solution!
Now more than ever, cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment are being sought after by landscapers. The Makita XRU18PT string trimmer is a welcome alternative because it produces no emissions, is quieter than gas-powered string trimmers, and requires far less maintenance. And the power of the XRU18PT is comparable to that of a 30 cc gas string trimmer.
It is powered by two 18V 5.0Ah LXT batteries that may be quickly charged for maximum runtime without the hassle of needing to charge every time. When more power and speed are required, its electronic controllers efficiently employ battery energy to adapt to the application's changing requirements. In addition to its power and runtime, this trimmer comes with a powerful brushless motor for reliability and added convenience. Its electronic management motor optimizes battery energy use by up to 50 percent, giving it more operating time per battery charge than a non-brushless tool. On top of that, its Direct Drive system offers high power and enhanced torque, which highlights this tool.
Makita developed Star Protection Computer Controls to increase tool performance and battery life. This protection is a form of communication that enables a tool and battery to share data in real-time while in use and monitor environmental conditions to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.
