Makita BL1820B-2 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Compact 2.0Ah Batteries (2 Pack)

For Makita 18V LXT Cordless Tools.

Makita's LXT System is the world's largest compatible cordless tool system powered by 18V slide-style batteries. Makita's purpose-built motors, battery technology, and enhanced communications work together to deliver unmatched power, speed, and run time.

These Makita 18V Batteries have a category-leading charge time of only 30 minutes, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. They also feature an LED charge level indicator to monitor battery charge.

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 they’re ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during charging to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. A built-in fan circulates through the battery during charging to cool it for faster charge time.

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.
