Makita BL1850B2DC2X 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery & Dual Port Charger Starter Pack (5.0Ah)

The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion battery and dual port charger starter pack allow you to build your own comprehensive Makita tool kit. Makita offers over 150 cordless tools, with the majority available as "bare tools" (tool only, without batteries or charger included). By purchasing the Makita battery and dual port charger starter pack, you can then select the 18V "bare tools" you need to get the job done.

Makita 18V batteries are compatible with over 150 cordless solutions, making the starter pack an ideal way to begin building a Makita cordless tool system or to expand an existing one. Compared to standard Lithium-Ion batteries, Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries charge faster and work longer, delivering unmatched performance and productivity to tackle even the most demanding applications.

The Makita 5.0Ah battery provides 65% more run time per charge than the Makita 3.0Ah battery (BL1830), while featuring a category-leading charge time of only 45 minutes. This ensures the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Additionally, Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge, remaining ready for use even after extended storage periods.

To improve tool performance and extend battery life, Makita developed Star protection Computer Controls™. This communication technology allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time, monitoring conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

The dual port Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages and new levels of efficiency for Makita 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool users. Unlike sequential dual port chargers that charge only one battery at a time, this charger can simultaneously charge two 18V batteries. Furthermore, it has an exclusive built-in fan that cools the battery by forcing air through the air vents during the charging process, resulting in faster charging times.

Throughout the charging process, the charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage, and temperature. The result is category-leading battery charge times, ensuring the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery can reach a full charge in 45 minutes or less.
