Build your own Makita tool kit with the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery and Dual Port Charger Starter Pack (5.0Ah). Makita offers over 150 cordless tools and most are available as “bare tools” (tool only, no batteries or charger included). Pick up the Starter Pack, then purchase the 18-Volt “bare tools” you need to get the job done – including 18-Volt X2 LXT tools powered by two 18-Volt batteries. It is an ideal way to start building a Makita cordless tool line-up. 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 is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during charging to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. The 18-Volt Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RD) charges 2 batteries simultaneously, giving tool users unparalleled charging efficiency so their batteries spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. 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.

Great dual port charger came with two Makita18-Volt 5.0Ah LXT Lithium-Ion Battery. Which will give you about 2×40 minutes worktime so you get an hour and half working with both batteries

The new 5.0 batteries have excellent run time with my Makita tools.

I bought the charger and batteries to power a makita cut-out saw and portable vacuum for drywall demo. The combination is a dream come true. Dustless drywall removal ! The batteries provided long enough run-time that I could change batteries and continue working while the other charged. Being able to charge two at one time was great because the vacuum runs on 18v also.

Works great! Charges two batteries in the time my old charger did one. The USB port is a nice touch.

The batteries were easy to unpack and hook up to the charging station. The fan is a nice touch to help prevent overheating.

Awesome

The batteries are great and last much longer. Although it is supposed to be compatible with all “Star” Makita tools, the batteries do not easily slide into the reciprocating saw base. They fit easily on my drill and impact gun. Just wish they would slide into reciprocating saw just as easily.

Everything works awesome! Great customer service too!
Mara Hagenes (verified owner) –
nice product, powerful and last longer, I like it.
Alanis Weissnat (verified owner) –
It’s fairly large. Cooling fans somewhat noisy. Works as advertised.
Haven Hirthe (verified owner) –
I am impressed with the quality and precission of the tool. A little disapoointed to find out my existing battery packs wouldnt work in the saw, so had to buy two batteries and charger.
