Genuine Makita 18V 5.0Ah LXT Lithium Battery BL1850 + DC18SD 240v Charger

LXT Lithium-Ion battery and optimum charging system produces 280 percent total lifetime work with 2x more cycles. 5x Lower self-discharge keeps battery cells active and ready for use, even after long periods of storage.

Charging at any time will have no effect on the battery. Built-in shock absorbing features protect the battery. Sixteen firm holding contact terminals reduce the risk of power loss/fluctuation in high vibration work environments.

Battery's built-in Memory Chip communicates with the charger to maximize battery life using 3 Active Controls (Current, Voltage & Thermal). Battery suitable for all Makita li-ion LXT 18 volt machines.
Star Protected Makita Battery

The demanding applications you take on every day are also demanding on your cordless tools and batteries. You rely on your tools, so Makita created STAR Protection Computer Controls . STAR Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to monitor conditions and exchange data in real time to protect against Overloading, Over-Discharging and Over-heating. Look for Makita tools and batteries with the STAR and get these protection features.

Makita Star Battery - Overload Protection
High-drain applications require maximum battery power. Makita tools and batteries are engineered for industrial applications, but sustained peak demand can overload the tool. Makita s STAR Protection Computer Controls allow the battery and tool to communicate and protect your tool and battery from overload by cutting power when put under abnormally high current draw.

Makita Star Battery - Overcharge Discharge Protection
Lithium-ion batteries are engineered for longer, sustained performance. But running a battery until it s dead empty can damage the cells. Makita STAR Protection Computer Controls monitor battery charge capacity, and if the battery is too low to complete the application it will cut power in order to extend battery life.

Makita Star Battery - Over heat protection
Extreme heat is the enemy of ALL batteries. It can make batteries charge slower, damage battery cells, and reduce battery life. Makita STAR Protection Computer Controls monitor battery heat during operation. If the battery reaches a certain level of heat it will cut power to the tool.

The Makita DC18SD 240V Li-ion 9.6v - 18v 30-60 Minute Charger uses a CPU to communicate with the batteries built in memory chip during a charge cycle, which analyses the data stored in the battery chip to decide on the best charging method at that time. This innovative technology results in longer battery life. This charger is suitable of charging up to 3.0ah Batteries only.

Built in sounds on the DC18SD let you know charging status and completion. Makita Forced Air Cooling Fan technology cools the battery during charging by forcing cool air through the battery' s built-in air vents prolonging the life of the battery.
