WTF Makita?!

500ml brewing capacity off of an entire high capacity battery.
Physics innit.
Energy in high capacity battery = 18V * 5Ah = 324000 J
Water has a specific heat capacity of 4.18J per gram per deg C so to raise 500 ml of water up 85 deg C (from 15 deg C to boiling) requires:-
4.18 * 500 * 85 = 177650 J
I'd expect ~80% efficiency for a standard kettle so I'm guessing they're erring on the side of caution and the battery will be 80% spent after boiling the suggested amount.
