The Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® Hot Water Kettle is a convenient way to boil water wherever the need comes from whether on the job site or enjoying the outdoors. The kettle can produce 27oz of hot water in just nine minutes when powered by two 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries (sold separately). With a focus on safety, the kettle automatically shuts off when the water is boiled, it has a boil-dry feature that does not allow for operation when empty, a sensor that prevents the kettle from operating when not on a stable surface, and a locking mechanism that keeps the kettle attached to the base. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
