The Starter Pack includes two 18V LXT® 4.0Ah Batteries (BL1840B) and an 18V LXT® Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC). Makita offers over 350 cordless tools that utilize 18V lithium-ion batteries, most available as \"bare tools\" (tool only, no batteries or charger included). Pick up the Makita® Battery and Rapid Optimum 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® LXT® Cordless System. Makita® 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries resist self-discharge, so they’re 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. Makita, the innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery reaches a full charge in 40 minutes or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides up to 35% more run time per charge compared to BL1830\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F\/-20°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner are engineered to protect the battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixteen contact terminals maintain a constant connection with the tool to help prevent power loss or fluctuation, even during high-vibration applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery resists self-discharge and remains ready for use even after long periods of storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and\/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Makita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52673337852220,"sku":"BL1840BDC2X","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/8112\/4924\/files\/618ligbwsDL.jpg?v=1769182384","url":"https:\/\/www.contractortool.com\/products\/makita-bl1840bdc2x","provider":"Contractor Tool Supply, a Vera Tools company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
