You're welcome. The batteries look oversized for the tool. Which means the tool is rather compact and small i suppose? =)

What a tease haha these should rock since they REALLY took their time on them!

The battery does look big but hopefully that means a longer run time

 

 

Looks like its 2 batteries for their 18x2 model.  You can see the two release tabs.

18V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Recipro Saw (XRJ06M/Z)
What can your 18V Lithium-Ion battery do for you? How about delivering corded power and run time? Makita 18V X2 technology is powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries, so users can unplug the cord with an 18V X2 rotary hammer, circular saw, chain saw, miter saw and more. The latest addition to the 18V X2 line-up is the XRJ06M/Z Recipro Saw, which has an efficient brushless motor and an industry-leading 1-1/4” stroke length for faster cutting. Users benefit with 36V power and run-time, but without leaving the 18V platform. 
(available Summer 2016)
 
18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Recipro Saw (XRJ05M/Z)
Makita is a leading innovator in the brushless category, and among the latest wave of new brushless tool releases is a new 18V brushless recipro saw, model XRJ05M. Like the 18V X2 recipro saw (model XRJ06M/Z), the XRJ05M/Z has a category-leading 1-1/4” stroke length. Also available in a non-brushless model (XRJ04M/Z). (available Spring 2016)

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. Now I don't have to have Fuel sawzall envy anymore. Makita is just hitting it out of the park lately!

The fuel sawzall was literally the only tool that made me want to buy milwaukee. Not anymore
