BBT 40V Cordless 17" Lawn Mower – Brushless | Makita-Compatible
Powerful Cordless Performance. More Battery Flexibility.
Enjoy the convenience of cordless mowing without compromising on performance.
The BBT 40V Cordless 17" Lawn Mower combines a powerful brushless motor, 2-speed blade control, lightweight manoeuvrability and a Makita-compatible tool interface to create a practical cordless solution for everyday lawn care.
Powered by two 20V lithium-ion batteries working together as a 40V system, the mower delivers strong cutting performance without petrol, fumes, oil changes, extension cords or pull starting.
And if you already own compatible Makita cordless tools, there's another major advantage: compatible Makita batteries can be used to power the BBT mower, while BBT batteries can also power compatible Makita tools.
Two BBT 20V 4.0Ah batteries and a dual BBT charger are included, so you're ready to mow straight out of the box.
Important: Battery compatibility applies to the tool interface only. BBT and Makita chargers are not cross-compatible. Each battery must be charged using its respective brand charger.

Makita-Compatible – Use the Batteries You Already Have
Already have Makita cordless tools at home?
The BBT cordless range uses a Makita-compatible tool interface, giving you greater flexibility with the batteries you already own.
Compatible Makita batteries can be used to power compatible BBT cordless tools, including this mower. BBT batteries can also be used to power compatible Makita tools.
This makes the BBT cordless range particularly attractive for customers who already have compatible batteries at home and don't want to invest in a completely isolated cordless tool system.
Compatible tools. More battery flexibility. Less hassle.
Important Charging Information
Battery tool compatibility and charger compatibility are different.
- Compatible Makita batteries can power compatible BBT tools.
- BBT batteries can power compatible Makita tools.
- Makita batteries cannot be charged with the BBT charger.
- BBT batteries cannot be charged with a Makita charger.
- Always charge each battery using the appropriate charger designed for that battery brand.
The mower includes two BBT 20V 4.0Ah batteries and the correct BBT dual charger.
40V Dual-Battery Performance
The BBT mower uses two 20V batteries simultaneously, creating a powerful 40V operating system for the brushless motor.
This provides the performance required for everyday lawn maintenance while maintaining the flexibility of the individual battery platform.
No petrol.
No fumes.
No extension cords.
No pull starting.
Simply insert two charged batteries, select your blade speed and start mowing.
2-Speed Blade Control – Choose Power or Runtime
Not every lawn needs maximum blade speed.
That's why the BBT 40V Lawn Mower gives you two selectable blade-speed modes: Low and High.
LOW – Everyday Efficiency
Use Low Speed for regular lawn maintenance and lighter grass conditions.
Running at the lower blade speed reduces unnecessary power consumption, helping you get more from each battery charge while also providing quieter operation.
Ideal for:
- Regular weekly mowing
- Shorter grass
- Light lawn maintenance
- Maximising battery runtime
HIGH – Maximum Cutting Performance
When conditions become more demanding, switch to High Speed.
The increased blade speed provides additional cutting performance for longer, thicker or heavier grass where more power is required.
Ideal for:
- Longer grass
- Thicker lawns
- Heavier cutting conditions
- When maximum performance is required
Instead of running at full speed regardless of conditions, you choose the performance you need.
More control. Better battery management. Power when you need it.
Brushless Motor Technology
At the heart of the mower is a high-efficiency brushless electric motor.
Unlike traditional brushed motors, brushless technology eliminates carbon brushes, reducing wear and maintenance while improving energy efficiency.
Brushless Benefits
✔ Higher efficiency
✔ Reduced maintenance
✔ Lower operating heat
✔ Longer motor life
✔ Better battery utilisation
✔ Smooth power delivery
Combined with the selectable Low and High blade speeds, the brushless motor helps balance cutting performance with battery efficiency.
17" Cutting Deck – Ideal for Residential Lawns
The 430mm (17") cutting width provides an excellent balance between productivity and manoeuvrability.
It's wide enough to efficiently cover residential lawns while remaining compact enough to navigate around:
- Garden beds
- Trees
- Paths
- Outdoor entertaining areas
- Narrow lawn sections
- Landscaping features
The mower is recommended for lawn areas up to approximately 460m², depending on grass conditions, cutting height, terrain and battery usage.
6-Position Cutting Height
Different lawns and seasons require different cutting heights.
The BBT mower provides six cutting positions from 25mm to 75mm, allowing you to easily adjust the finish to suit your lawn.
Available heights:
- 25mm
- 35mm
- 45mm
- 55mm
- 65mm
- 75mm
From a neat, shorter finish to leaving additional grass length during warmer conditions, adjustment is simple.
Lightweight and Easy to Manoeuvre
At approximately 15kg, the BBT 40V mower is lightweight and easy to push, turn and manoeuvre around residential gardens.
The large rear wheels make changing direction easier and improve mobility across uneven lawns, while the soft-grip handle provides comfortable control.
When the mowing is finished, the handle folds down to significantly reduce the amount of storage space required in your shed or garage.
45L Grass Catcher
The generous 45-litre grass catcher provides plenty of capacity for everyday residential mowing while remaining easy to remove and empty.
Fewer stops mean you can spend more time mowing and less time emptying the catcher.
No Petrol. No Fumes. Less Maintenance.
One of the biggest benefits of switching to cordless lawn equipment is simplicity.
There's no need to:
- Store petrol
- Change engine oil
- Replace spark plugs
- Clean carburettors
- Maintain fuel systems
- Pull-start an engine
- Run extension cords around the garden
Charge the batteries, insert them into the mower and you're ready to go.
It's lawn maintenance made simpler.
Built for Australian Outdoor Use
The mower features IPX4 weather-resistant construction, helping protect the electrical system against water splashes encountered during normal outdoor use.
Combined with the lightweight deck, brushless motor and cordless design, it's built to provide dependable everyday lawn maintenance.
Perfect For
- Residential lawns
- Homeowners
- Townhouses
- Small lifestyle properties
- Regular garden maintenance
- Customers moving away from petrol equipment
- Customers already using compatible Makita batteries
- Anyone wanting a simpler cordless mowing solution
