Hello !
The following link are some pictures from the Shanghai international hardware show a few days ago.
I’m interested in the third picture. It shows the Makita booth with a screen in front.
On the screen we see 2 batteries. They’re 18v batteries but their height indicates to me that they would be 9 amp batteries ?

Am I seeing things or anyone else has a guess ? 🙂
Are they the new 4.0 12v slide packs?
or the older 14.4v? (Being a little shorter than 18v)?

What’s in top of the battery?

Yeah if I had to guess it would be 12v packs.

It does say in the caption that it is high capacity packs. The makita roomba near the bottom is one of the funniest things I’ve seem. That drywall saw was interesting too.
They are definitely pushing the 12v though. I know it’s nothing unheard of, but the new cooled jacket is pretty sweet.

New 12 multitools and potentially either a concrete or metal saw with reservoir.https://triple.com.hk/2016/03/2016-makita牧田新產品說明會3/
Damn, Makita is really knocking it out of the park with the 12v lineup. New tools falling form the sky. And here I am on the fantastic Bosch 12v platform and I can’t get the newer tools in that states.

That’s a tile saw. I had the Ryobi 18v version.

Ohhhhhh that makes a lot more sense.
Yea my guess is its a 12v pack. They look taller because they are shorter.
My first thought was also a 12v 4 amp pack. But the 12v packs all have a Makita green coloured logo on the side ( also in China, i checked 😛 ) and the batteries on the picture only feature soms white coloured drawings like every 18v pack does 🙂
Looks like the 14v, which for some odd reason is hugely popular in Japan.

14 volts are ‘ straight’ at the front of the battery. 18 volts have that 45° piece where the button is to make the battery casing longer for the extra cell.
( sorry for crap english. Sometimes hard to Find words for what i want to say )

No worries man! I’m wading through the translated page on that link from sterco so you’re fine haha
We have red M launched last year following the Makita 18V coffee machine, there will be nothing surprising magic!? Is a live fan to go around, if there are three forty degrees, should all really good. Recite at Site D is no air conditioning, daily sun exposure to a black body is buried, then do not attempt to Well interests.
Do site master pieces per person with return really is not bad either! Not only appearance, but also practical. Although member Windbreakers live up Link, but it is practical, site decoration nobody can see, the most critical comfortable with it !!!
