It's a great way to start your Makita cordless tool lineup. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries are amazing as they resist self - discharge. So, even after long - term storage, they're ready to go. The Standard Charger is a smart system. It communicates with the battery while charging to keep an eye on current, voltage, and temperature. This advanced charging tech helps make the battery last longer and charge faster. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ are here to boost tool performance and extend battery life. This communication technology lets the tool and battery share data in real - time and monitor conditions during use. It protects against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. Makita, a leader in cordless tool innovation, has the world's largest cordless tool lineup powered by 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries.

With Star Protection Computer Controls™, it's well - protected. It provides up to 35% more run - time per charge compared to the BL1830. The battery has an impact - resistant outer case and a shock - absorbing inner - liner. Sixteen contact terminals keep a steady connection with the tool, preventing power loss. It resists self - discharge and works with Star Protection tools. The Standard Charger communicates with the battery's chip to optimize battery life, and it has a built - in fan for faster charging. It comes with a 3 - year limited warranty. You can use two 18V LXT batteries on 36V (18V X2) LXT tools.

Using your Makita 18V LXT Starter Pack is easy. First, charge the 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah batteries using the included DC18SD charger. Just connect the battery to the charger and wait about 90 minutes for a full charge. You can check the charge level using the integrated L.E.D. indicator on the battery. Once the batteries are charged, insert them into your 18V 'bare tools' or the included XRJ01Z Recipro Saw. When using the tools, remember that the Star Protection Computer Controls™ are working to protect against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. But still, don't push the tool too hard beyond its limits. For maintenance, keep the batteries and tools clean. Wipe them down after use to remove dirt and debris. Store the batteries in a cool, dry place. They resist self - discharge, but it's best not to leave them in extreme temperatures. The charger has a built - in fan to cool the battery during charging, so make sure the fan isn't blocked. If you're using two 18V LXT batteries on 36V (18V X2) LXT tools, make sure both batteries are fully charged. And don't forget, this product comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to Makita for support.
