Impact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner are engineered to protect the battery
Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating
Battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4 Deg F/-20 Deg C)
Integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge
18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery reaches a full charge in 45 minutes or less. Provides up to 65% more run time per charge compared to BL1830
Build your own Makita tool kit with the 18V Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack (BL1850BDC2X). The Starter Pack includes two 18V LXT® 5.0Ah Batteries (BL1850B) and an 18V LXT® Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC). Makita offers over 350 cordless tools that utilize 18V lithium-ion batteries, most available as “bare tools” (tool only, no batteries or charger included). Pick up the Makita® Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack, then purchase the 18V “bare tools” you need to get the job done. It’s an ideal way to start building a Makita® LXT® Cordless System. 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. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is a communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Makita, the innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.
