Intended to power more than 100 compatible Makita 18V LXT tools, this starter set combines an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery and a Rapid Optimum Charger. The battery reaches a full charge in 45 minutes or less and uses Star Protection Computer Controls to help protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. Makita 18V lithium-ion batteries resist self-discharge so they're ready for use even after long periods of storage.
The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. In addition, the Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions.
Provides up to 65% more run time per charge than the Makita BL1830 battery
Battery is engineered to deliver consistent power and run time in temperatures down to -4°F (-20°C)
Impact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner liner help protect the battery from jobsite impacts
Sixteen contact terminals maintain a consistent connection with the tool during high-vibration applications
Battery resists self-discharge so it remains ready for use after extended storage
Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery to control current, voltage and temperature, while a built-in fan cools the battery during charging
Integrated LED charge-level indicator makes it easy to monitor remaining battery capacity
