Makita 18V LXT Battery Series, w/ Star Protection

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 line of 18V batteries combines more run time, with category-leading charge times, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For added convenience, they also features an L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge.

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. The 18V LXT® battery series is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol™ and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. All current Makita tools sold at Thread Source are Star compatible.

There are five batteries available in the Makita 18V LXT lineup. Those are:

  1. BL1820B, 18V LXT 2.0Ah
  2. BL1830B, 18V LXT 3.0Ah
  3. BL1840B, 18V LXT 4.0Ah
  4. BL1850B, 18V LXT 5.0Ah
  5. BL1860B, 18V LXT 6.0Ah

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 (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor current, voltage and temperature. The Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery, and this advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge, even in hot weather conditions.
