Battery 18V Li-ion 6.0 Ah 108 Wh with Charge Indicator for Yato 18V System, Yato

Key Facts — Yato Battery 18V Li-ion 6.0 Ah

• Brand: Yato
• Type: Li-ion power tool battery
• Voltage: 18 V DC
• Capacity: 6.0 Ah (6,000 mAh)
• Energy: 108 Wh
• Weight: 0.99 kg
• Fits: All tools in the Yato 18V system

The Yato 18V 6.0 Ah battery stores 108 Wh and gives the longest runtime per charge in the platform. It powers the entire Yato 18V range — drill drivers, jigsaws, angle grinders and the other tools — and suits anyone working full days on battery or running power-hungry tools.

The cells are protected by a system that prevents overheating under load and deep discharge while the battery sits unused. A charge indicator shows remaining capacity without fitting the battery to a tool, and the battery is ready for fast charging.

The battery charges in every charger in the Yato 18V system, including fan-cooled models and the solar charger. Charging time depends on the charger: 180 minutes in the standard chargers, 78 minutes in the fast chargers and 36 minutes in the fastest model. Weight is 0.99 kg.

When does the Yato 6.0 Ah battery make the most sense?

When runtime matters more than weight. At 108 Wh, one charge covers long sessions with a drill driver, or shorter ones with saws and grinders that draw more current. Anyone with several Yato 18V tools can keep the 6.0 Ah battery in the most demanding machine and use smaller batteries in the light tools.

Applications for the battery

The battery serves as the main pack on building sites without nearby power, as a spare to avoid downtime during charging, and in high-draw tools such as angle grinders, circular saws and jigsaws. With the solar charger it can also be charged where mains power is absent altogether, for example at holiday homes and during outdoor work.

Technical Specifications

A fit for: Carpenters, fitters, electricians, DIYers and building caretakers working with Yato 18V tools.

Typical settings: Building sites, renovation work, holiday homes and plots without mains power, workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the Yato 18V 6.0 Ah battery fit tools from other brands?

No. The battery is built for the Yato 18V system and fits only tools and chargers within that platform. Other brands' 18V tools use their own battery rails and contact layouts, even at the same voltage. Third-party adaptors are not recommended, since the battery's protection against overheating and deep discharge is matched to Yato's own tools and chargers.

How long does the Yato 18V 6.0 Ah battery take to charge?

That depends on the charger. Standard chargers YT-82848, YT-82849, YT-828498 and YT-828499 give a full charge in 180 minutes. Fast chargers YT-828500 and YT-828501 manage it in 78 minutes, and the YT-828502 in 36 minutes. For anyone working a full day on a single battery, a fast charger is the difference between a short break and a lost afternoon.

What separates the Yato 6.0 Ah battery from smaller batteries in the same 18V system?

Runtime and weight. At 108 Wh the 6.0 Ah battery stores 50 per cent more energy than a 4.0 Ah pack and three times that of a 2.0 Ah. The cost is weight: 0.99 kg makes the tool heavier in the hand, noticeable when working overhead with a light drill driver. For saws, grinders and long sessions the 6.0 Ah is the practical choice; for short screwing jobs a smaller battery may be more comfortable.
