Product Detail
This pack includes two high - performance 18V LXT Li - Ion 3.0Ah batteries. The integrated LED battery charge level indicator lets you easily keep track of the battery charge. It can reach a full charge in just 30 minutes or less. These batteries are only compatible with Star Protection tools, marked by the Star Symbol™ and/or a Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. They offer consistent power and runtime even in extreme cold, down to - 4°F (- 20°C). Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™, they're protected from overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. The impact - resistant outer case and shock - absorbing inner - liner safeguard the battery. Sixteen contact terminals ensure a stable connection with the tool, preventing power loss or fluctuation, especially during high - vibration tasks. The batteries resist self - discharge, so they're ready to use after long - term storage. Makita's 18V Lithium - Ion is the world's largest cordless tool line - up powered by an 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style battery.

The Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart - charging system that optimizes battery life and speeds up charging by monitoring current, voltage, and temperature. It also has a built - in fan for faster and more efficient charging. STAR Protection Computer Controls™ improve 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 your Makita 18V LXT 3.0Ah Li - Ion batteries is easy. First, make sure your tool is a Star Protection tool, which is marked 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. To check the battery charge, press the button on the battery with the LED indicator. When it's time to charge, use the Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately). Just place the battery in the charger, and it'll start charging. It usually takes about 30 minutes or less to reach a full charge. Remember, these batteries can work well in cold temperatures, but it's still a good idea to keep them at a reasonable temperature when not in use. For long - term storage, it's okay as the batteries resist self - discharge. To keep your batteries in good condition, avoid overloading the tool. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ are there to help protect the battery, but it's still best to use the tool within its recommended limits. Also, don't expose the battery to extreme heat or impact. If you notice any issues with the battery, like it's not charging properly or losing power quickly, check if it's still under the 3 - year limited warranty and contact Makita support.
