Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery Twin Pack, Black

The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and lasts longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, providing unmatched performance and productivity for your cordless tools to tackle even the toughest applications. With the Makita 4.0 Ah battery, you get 35% more run time per charge compared to the BL1830 battery, and it can reach a full charge in just 40 minutes. This means more time working and less time waiting for your battery to charge. To make things even more convenient, the battery comes with an L.E.D. charge level indicator to help you keep track of your battery's power level.

The 18V LXT 4.0Ah battery (BL1840) is specially designed for use with Star Protection tools, which can be identified by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver on the tool. These batteries are resistant to self-discharge, so they are always ready for use even after long periods of storage.

For efficient charging, Makita offers the Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately), which is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during charging to monitor current, voltage, and temperature. This advanced technology helps optimize battery life and provide a faster charge. The charger also has a built-in fan to cool the battery during charging, ensuring faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions.

To further enhance tool performance and battery lifespan, Makita has implemented STAR Protection Computer Controls, a communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange real-time data to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Makita leads the way in cordless tool technology with a full lineup powered by their 18V lithium-ion slide-style battery. The integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows users to easily monitor their battery charge status, ensuring they are always ready for the next job.
