Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Dual Port Charger Starter Pack (5.0Ah)

With the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery and dual port charger Starter pack (5.0Ah), you can build your own Makita tool kit. Makita offers over 150 cordless tools, many of which are available as "bare tools" (tool only, no batteries or charger included). After picking up the Starter pack, you can purchase the 18V "bare tools" you need to get the job done, including 18V X2 LXT tools powered by two 18V batteries. This is an ideal way to start building a Makita cordless tool line-up.

Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge, meaning they are ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Rapid optimum charger is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during charging to monitor current, voltage, and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. The 18V dual port Rapid optimum charger (dc18rd) is capable of charging 2 batteries simultaneously, providing unparalleled charging efficiency so your batteries spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery reaches a full charge in 45 minutes or less and provides up to 65% more run time per charge compared to BL1830. Additionally, it is equipped with an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator, allowing the user to monitor the battery charge. The battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C), and is equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating.
