Makita BL1850B 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion 5.0Ah Battery

The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery charges faster and works longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications. The Makita 5.0Ah battery has a category-leading charge time of only 45 minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

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.
