Hi. I have a Makita Combi cordless drill that uses an 18V Li-ion 2 Ah battery (BL1820G). I'm looking for a Makita cordless circular saw compatible with this battery. Are there any?

2Ah wont be much for a circular saw
I just did a search for
Makita cordless circular saw
and loads came up

Screwfix for example - other sites may be cheaper

just be careful
makita have a star system on newer higher power tools and only batteries with the star on top i think molded on top off the battery near the contacts

as an aside a 2ah battery contains 36wh or 2160w for a minute so iff your saw is say 360w it will run for less than 6mins
