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. This Promotion also comes with a bonus XRJ04Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Recipro Saw, Tool Only.

Thelma Thiel (verified owner) –
I own my own business and I have always bought Makita. Yes it meets my expectations. I was just adding to my arsenal of Makita tools.
Vella White (verified owner) –
Great tool, easy to use. The only problem I’d say that I have with it is that the battery life doesn’t seem to last much longer than a couple hours. Never used a battery powered sawsall before,but this tool uses a lot of power from the battery.
Alysson Weissnat (verified owner) –
Great tool. Does heat up a little with prolonged use. Battery life is also less than what I expected.
Anastacio Mitchell (verified owner) –
Great battery lasts very long and gets a full charge in about 45 minutes. Much better than the cheap copy batteries that are available. Love it.
Sydni Schimmel (verified owner) –
Great tool not to heavy and easy to use …I use it for minor cuts on the trees… instead of a chainsaw …
Victoria Connelly (verified owner) –
Seems like a solid tool. I would say the quality is comparable to the red brand. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet so I don’t know about durability.
Ulices Wolf (verified owner) –
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.
