Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries are designed to resist self-discharge, ensuring that they are always ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Rapid Optimum Charger is a state-of-the-art smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during charging, monitoring current, voltage, and temperature to optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. With the 18V Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC), you can expect unparalleled charging efficiency, allowing your batteries to spend more time powering your tools and less time sitting on the charger.

To further enhance tool performance and prolong battery life, Makita has developed Star Protection Computer Controls. This innovative communication technology enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery, monitoring conditions during use to safeguard against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Makita has long been recognized as a pioneer in cordless tool technology, boasting the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery included in this Starter Pack offers a rapid full charge in 45 minutes or less, providing up to 65% more run time per charge compared to the BL1830 model. Its integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows users to easily monitor the battery's charge status, while its consistent power and run time performance remain reliable even in extreme temperatures, including winter conditions as low as -4°F/-20°C. With Star Protection Computer Controls in place, this battery is equipped to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating, ensuring a long and efficient lifespan.
