Makita offers over 100 cordless tools and most are available as "bare tools" (tool only, no batteries or charger included). Pick up the Makita Battery and Charger Starter Pack, then purchase the 18V "bare tools" you need to get the job done. It's an ideal way to start building a Makita cordless tool line-up. 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 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 world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Review: Works as intended, fast charge. - Great price, and does what it should. However, a little warning: 4.0 Amps isn't enough once you get going, unless you are going out for a 5 minute job. If you are clearing a path, you may want to go to 6.0 amps. Review: Nice battery and charger set. - I needed a new Makita battery and charger for my akita tools, and this set is nice. The charger can charge the battery fairly quickly. The battery holds a great charge and fits all of my 18V Makita tools. They are so easy to use too. The battery has the LED power indicators so I can easily see how much power is remaining in the battery. ## Features - Integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge - Provides up to 35% more run time per charge compared to BL1830 - 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery reaches a full charge in 40 minutes or less - Battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C) - Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating - Impact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner are engineered to protect the battery - Sixteen 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 only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BD7T8PG | | Amperage | 4 Amps | | Battery Capacity | 4 Amp Hours | | Battery Cell Composition | Lithium Ion | | Battery Cell Type | Lithium Ion | | Battery Weight | 680 Grams | | Best Sellers Rank | #50,644 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #577 in Cordless Tool Battery Packs | | Brand | Makita | | Built-In Media | 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah Battery (BL1840B); 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,199 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381466745 | | Item Dimensions | 9.5 x 9.5 x 3.7 inches | | Item Type Name | Makita BL1840BDC1 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack (4.0Ah) | | Item Weight | 2.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Model Name | Makita BL1840BDC1 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack (4.0Ah) | | Model Number | BL1840BDC1 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.
