Makita's 18V Lithium - Ion batteries are great as they resist self - discharge. So, even after long storage periods, they're ready to use. The Standard Charger is a smart system. It communicates with the battery during charging, constantly monitoring current, voltage, and temperature. This high - tech charging tech helps extend battery life and gives you a faster charge. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ is another game - changer. It's a communication technology that allows the tool and battery to share data in real - time. It monitors conditions during use, protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The pack includes (2) 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Batteries (BL1840B), (1) XDT13Z 18V LXT Li - Ion Brushless Cordless Impact Driver Bare Tool, and (1) 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Charger (DC18SD).

It offers 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 to keep it safe. Sixteen contact terminals ensure a steady connection with the tool, preventing power loss even in high - vibration tasks. It only works with Star Protection tools, marked by the Star Symbol™ and/or a Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. The charger has a built - in fan that cools the battery during charging for a faster charge time. It also optimizes battery life by controlling current, voltage, and temperature. This product comes with a 3 - year limited warranty. You can even use two 18V LXT batteries on 36V (18V X2) LXT tools. Shipping weight is 5.15 lbs., the system is 18V LXT, shelf pack quantity is 0, and the UPC code is 197050 - 359698.
Using your Makita 18V LXT Starter Pack is easy. First, take out the batteries from the pack and insert them into the charger. The charger will start charging the batteries, and you can check the charge level using the L.E.D. indicator on the battery. Once the batteries are fully charged, insert them into your tool. For the XDT13Z impact driver, simply slide the battery into the battery receiver under the tool. When using the tools, don't overload them. If you're doing a tough job, take breaks to prevent overheating. Also, make sure to use the tools with only Star Protection - compatible batteries to avoid any issues. When it comes to maintenance, keep the batteries and tools clean. Wipe them down after use to remove any dirt or debris. Store the batteries in a cool, dry place. If you're not going to use the tools for a long time, fully charge the batteries before storing them. This will help keep the batteries in good condition. Remember, this product comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita for assistance.
