Makita BL1840BDC2 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack (4.0Ah)

Start building your Makita LXT Cordless System with the 18V Lithium-Ion Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack. With over 250 cordless tools that use 18V lithium-ion batteries, Makita offers most of them as "bare tools," meaning they come without batteries or a charger. Get the Makita Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack, then purchase the 18V "bare tools" separately to suit your needs. This is a great way to begin your collection of Makita cordless tools.

Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries have a low self-discharge rate, ensuring they are ready to 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, keeping an eye on current, voltage, and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps to improve battery life and provide a faster charge. Plus, the Charger includes a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions.

For better tool performance and longer battery life, Makita has developed Star Protection Computer Controls. This technology allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time, monitoring conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. As an innovation leader in cordless tool technology, Makita has the largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery can reach a full charge in 40 minutes or less, providing up to 35% more run time per charge compared to the BL1830 battery. The integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows you to monitor the battery charge, while also delivering consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C).

With Star Protection Computer Controls in place, the battery is protected against overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating, ensuring a longer battery life and improved tool performance. Building your collection of Makita cordless tools with the Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack is an ideal way to start experiencing the power and convenience of the Makita LXT Cordless System.
