Makita BL1850BDC1 18V LXT LithiumIon Battery and Charger Starter Pack (5.0Ah)

Build your own Makita tool kit with the 18V Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack. Makita offers over 100 cordless tools and most are available as “bare tools” (tool only, no batteries or charger included). Pick up the Makita Battery and 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 cordless tool line-up.

What sets Makita Batteries apart from competitors is their components. Makita-built brushless motors eliminate carbon brushes and run contact-free, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for up to 50% more motor life. The electronically controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and speed to the changing demands of the application.

Makita 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries resist self-discharge so theyre 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 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.
