Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Set, 5.0Ah (BL1850BDC1)

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.
