Product Details
The Makita® 18V LXT® lithium-ion battery is designed for superior performance and productivity, particularly for demanding applications. With a category-leading charge time of only 45 minutes, the Makita® 5.0Ah battery ensures that tools spend more time working and less time charging. This battery is specifically compatible with Star Protection tools, which are identifiable by the Star Symbol™ and/or a yellow battery receiver. The lithium-ion technology also offers resistance to self-discharge, making it ready for use after prolonged periods of storage. The Makita® Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) features a smart-charging system that monitors current, voltage, and temperature to optimize battery life while providing faster charging. It includes a built-in fan for cooling, enabling efficient charging in high temperatures. To enhance tool performance and extend battery longevity, Makita® employs Star Protection Computer Controls™, which allow real-time data exchange between the tool and battery to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The system represents Makita's commitment to innovation in cordless tool technology with the largest cordless tool lineup powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. The product comes with a 3-year limited warranty.
