Pretty big discount considering these are still selling for around $800 elsewhere. They have at least 2 on the floor at the moment,

If anyone spots this at other stores then I might give my local a shot 🤔
what does it mean by skin only
no battery included
Is this the battery & charger that go with the Lawnmower?
Makita 18V 6.0Ah Li-ion Battery BL1860B $228 each
Makita Rapid Twin Charger 14.4-18V LI $304
$200+$228+$228+$304=$960
Yes. (Note that makita makes lots of differnt battery sizes) However the makita 18v platform is one of the most popular power tool battery platforms on the market, so a lot of people already have batteries and chargers.
Also power tool batteries & chargers are generally available much cheaper on secondary market places. Can get 2x 5.0Ah battereis and a charger (single 5 Amp), both new for $349 off Facebook marketplace.
Also note that makita has a 2x battery (5Ah) + duel charger kit:
$665 from a mainstream retailer:

$578 form a smaller supplier:

Awesome thank you!
I purchased a new lawnmower kit with new 5ah batteries and a dual charger if anyone was interested. Will have two more when the redemption comes through too. I already have plenty batteries and charger for work.
@Joshyss: I could be interested. I was one of the lucky ones that managed to get one of these Lawnmowers after being in the market for a Lawnmower for a while - and now need to buy batteries & a charger for it.
@djinksta: PM me, I can’t seem to be able to PM you.
We bought our Makita for around the $800 mark a couple of years ago, it came with the 2 batteries and dual charger, and a bonus 2 batteries by redemption as well. So if you are looking at $600 for chargers and batteries then the kit might be a better deal.
is it the same battery as the Ozito 18v?
definately not
If you go into the makita eco system often with tools you can get batteries and chargers with or via redemption, we've sold our 2.0ah 3.0ah & 4.0ah batteries and single chargers and used to money to get more 6ah batteries, got a dual charger via redemption
Any idea if Mitre10 or other stores could pricematch? I doubt it given its a single store clearance.
Probably not but no harm in asking
Was only 2 ever in stock and sold out hours ago.
Saw some Victas' on clearance too at my local stores. Super low tempting prices but skin only, and I cant find decent batteries anywhere. Victa the company has gone bust I think. Will suit someone if they have loads of Victa batteries already.
I'm not in the market for a new mower but that is really cheap.
