Build your own Makita tool kit with the 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack. Makita offers over 225 cordless tools that utilize 18-Volt lithium-ion batteries, most available as “bare tools” (tool only, no batteries or charger included). Pick up the Makita Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack, then purchase the 18-Volt “bare tools” you need to get the job done. It’s an ideal way to start building a Makita LXT Cordless System. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Batteries resist self-discharge, so theyre ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. In addition, the Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions. 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. Makita, the innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

I have this battery system for about 14 years. Other brands are now charging as fast as Makita’s. I easily recommend Makita.I own newer Milwaukee tools, but I need to buy special batteries and a charger to keep up with my Makita. Depending on your needs Makita is an excellent choice.

I bought it on clearance for half price. I didn’t need it but I could pass it up. I’m very happy with it.

Makita does not disappoint. Have had some of the batteries for over 5 years and they still perform. Switching many tools over to this power platform. Very satisfied.

The 4Ah exceeds the run time of the brand new 3Ah to the point that I regret buying the 3. I (not recommended) modified an older cut off saw (with a sharp tree limb blade) to accept the 4 and made cuts on a 8″ tree. The 3 made one and a half cuts. The 4 made three cuts and was still half full. (I got worried about the saw so I stopped.) In my newer drill (designed for the higher amp hour battery) I drove dry wall screws until my hand hurt. The 4Ah takes longer to charge than the 3, but I wasn’t out of power in battery two when battery one was finished charging. I have been a fan of Mikita from the time I bought my first Hypoid drive saw from Home Depot in 1990. It is still going strong. My Mikita 18 volt cordless tools outlasted the Black and Deckers by a factor of 15 years. Great product, great company.

Such a powerful battery. With all the new Makita products, this gives me more battery for longer use between charges. Very happy with the new batteries and charger and case. Super price!!! Thank you!

I use Makita tools in my profession as a carpenter. I love the long run time and quick charge time that these batteries offer. I also really like the fact that these new batteries can display the remaining charge available while using the tool. There are few things worse than running out of power in the middle of a job.
