Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries charge faster and work longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your Makita cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity for demanding applications. The Makita 3.0Ah battery (BL1830B) has a category-leading charge time of only 30-minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. It also features an LED charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. Makita is the innovation leader in cordless tool technology and has the world’s cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style batteries. The BL1830B is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they’re ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during charging to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. The Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita 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.

The battery is HIGH quality product, and functions with all Makita tools. The 6.0 Ah rating gives the tool longer work duration.

These battery packs are as good as it gets, very easy to use, and charging rate time is excellent. Now, as far as how long they last when used, you will be amazed. I’ve used all kinds of battery packs, and they are all different depending on the tool they are driving, but these rank up there with the best of them. When they say “high capacity”, they definitely meet that definition. So, yes I would definitely recommend these if compatible with your tools.

These batteries are the best: I’m a self employed carpenter and I haven’t seen better running life than the Makita batteries.

What can I say? If I didn’t think that Makita products were the best, I wouldn’t buy them. Until they disappoint me I’ll keep purchasing them.

They seem to be lasting longer then the 3.0 I have. Not happy with the charging time, it states it’s a quick charger, but takes an hour to recharge the batteries.

Great deal. These two batteries were exactly what I needed to not have to stop and recharge the one battery I had. I could not pass up the deal when I saw it. Ty
