Product Detail
This product includes ten 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah batteries. These batteries are a game-changer for your Makita cordless tools. With an integrated LED battery charge level indicator, you can easily keep an eye on the battery charge. They reach a full charge in just 30 minutes or less, spending more time working and less time on the charger. These batteries are only compatible with Star Protection tools, marked by the Star Symbol™ and/or a Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. They deliver consistent power and runtime even in extreme winter temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C). Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™, they're protected against overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating. The impact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner safeguard the battery. Sixteen contact terminals ensure a steady connection with the tool, preventing power loss or fluctuation, even during high-vibration tasks. They resist self-discharge, so they're always ready for use after long storage periods. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion is the world's largest cordless tool lineup powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita's advanced technology offers a category-leading charge time. The batteries come with a 3-year limited warranty. Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries outperform standard lithium-ion batteries, offering unmatched performance and productivity for demanding jobs. The Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that monitors current, voltage, and temperature during charging, optimizing battery life and providing a faster charge. It has a built-in fan for faster and more efficient charging. STAR Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and extend battery life by allowing real-time data exchange between the tool and battery to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.
Using these Makita batteries is easy. First, make sure your tool is a Star Protection tool, which you can identify by the Star Symbol™ and/or a Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. Then, simply slide the battery onto the tool until it clicks into place. When it's time to charge, use the Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately). You'll notice the LED charge level indicator on the battery, which helps you know how much charge is left. Be aware that these batteries are only for Star Protection tools, so don't try to use them with other types of tools. For maintenance, store the batteries in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, as this can affect their performance. Also, don't overcharge or over-discharge the batteries, as the Star Protection Computer Controls™ are there to protect against these issues, but it's still good to be careful. If you're not going to use the batteries for a long time, it's a good idea to charge them to about 50% and then store them. This helps prevent self - discharge and keeps the batteries in good condition. With proper use and maintenance, these batteries will serve you well for a long time, thanks to the 3 - year limited warranty.
