Product Detail
Dive into the world of Makita cordless tools with the 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack (4.0Ah, BL1840BSC2). Makita, a pioneer in cordless tool tech, offers over 325 cordless tools, many as 'bare tools'. With this starter pack, you can cherry - pick the 18V bare tools you need, including 18V X2 LXT tools that run on two 18V batteries. It's a perfect starting point to build your very own Makita cordless tool collection. Makita's 18V Lithium - Ion batteries are a game - changer. They resist self - discharge, so they're always ready for action, even after long storage. The Standard Charger is a smart system that talks to the battery during charging, monitoring current, voltage, and temperature. This advanced tech boosts battery life and speeds up charging. Star Protection Computer Controls™ is another great feature. It's a communication tech that lets the tool and battery share real - time data, protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. What's in the pack? You get two 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Batteries (BL1840B), one XGH01ZK 18V LXT Cordless Heat Gun (tool only), and one 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Charger (DC18SD). The 18V LXT Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah battery charges fully in 90 minutes. The integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator makes it easy to keep tabs on the battery. Compared to the BL1830, it offers up to 35% more run - time per charge. The battery has an impact - resistant outer case and a shock - absorbing inner - liner for protection. Sixteen contact terminals ensure a stable connection, preventing power loss or fluctuation, even in high - vibration jobs. 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 faster times and optimizes battery life by controlling current, voltage, and temperature. This product comes with a 3 - year limited warranty. You can also use two 18V LXT batteries on 36V (18V X2) LXT tools for more power.
Using your Makita 18V LXT Starter Pack is a breeze. First, make sure your batteries are fully charged using the included charger. The charger will take about 90 minutes to fully charge the 4.0Ah batteries. You can check the charge level using the L.E.D. indicator on the battery. Once the batteries are charged, insert them into your Makita Star Protection - enabled tools. Remember, these batteries are only compatible with tools marked with the Star Symbol™ or a Yellow Battery Receiver. When using the tools, don't worry about overloading, over - discharging, or overheating, as the Star Protection Computer Controls™ will protect them. For the heat gun, simply turn it on and adjust the settings according to your needs. As for maintenance, keep the batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid dropping or subjecting them to heavy impacts, as they have shock - absorbing features but are still sensitive. Clean the contact terminals of the batteries and tools regularly to ensure a good connection. If you're not going to use the tools for a long time, it's a good idea to charge the batteries to about 40% - 60% and store them. The charger has a built - in fan, so make sure the ventilation is not blocked during charging. And don't forget, this product comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to the Makita support team.
