MAKITA 18V LXT Lithium-Ion High Capacity 2 Amp Battery w/FUEL Gauge
The Makita 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard compact lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications. The Makita 2.0Ah battery combines more run time (50% more run time per charge than the Makita BL1815 battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 25 minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Makita 18-Volt 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. 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 worlds largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style battery. • Provides up to 50% more run time per charge • Reaches a full charge in 25 minutes or less on the Makita rapid optimum charger (sold separately) • Battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C) • Star protection computer controls allow the tool and battery to monitor conditions during use and exchange data in real time to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating • Makita rapid optimum charger (sold separately) communicates with the battery’s built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature • Impact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner are engineered to protect the battery • 16 contact terminals maintain a constant connection with the tool to help prevent power loss or fluctuation, even during high-vibration applications • Battery resists self-discharge and remains ready for use even after long periods of storage • Compatible with Makita 18-Volt LXT and 18-Volt compact cordless tools with the star symbol • Makita 18-Volt lithium-ion is the worlds largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style battery • Compared to BL1815
