For improved tool performance and extended battery life£¬ created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading£¬ over-discharging and overheating. Makita£¬ the innovation leader in cordless tool technology£¬ has the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.
18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery reaches a full charge in 45-minutes or less
Provides up to 65% more run time per charge compared to BL1830
Integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge
Battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures£¬ even in winter (minus 4�ćF/minus 20�ćC)
Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading£¬ over-discharging and over-heating
Impact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner are engineered to protect the battery
16 contact terminals maintain a constant connection with the tool to help prevent power loss or fluctuation£¬ even during high-vibration applications
Battery resists self-discharge and remains ready for use even after long periods of storage
Compatible only with Star Protection tools£¬ indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool
18V Lithium-Ion is the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery
Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current£¬ voltage and temperature
