Makita BL1840BDC2 Review

Makita is known for its high-quality power tools, and this battery and charger starter pack is no exception. With a fast-charging battery that can reach a full charge in 40 minutes or less, you won't have to waste time waiting for your tools to be powered up. Plus, the battery provides up to 35% more run time per charge than its predecessor, the BL1830. You'll appreciate the integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator that lets you monitor the battery charge level and the consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in the winter. In addition, the Star Protection Computer Controls protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Say goodbye to sudden tool failures or overheating! The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger is a smart-charging system that incorporates advanced charging technology to optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. It communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor the current, voltage, and temperature. The built-in fan located in the charger drives a rush of air through the battery's air vents to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions. Best of all, this battery and charger starter pack is part of the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. This means that you can easily and conveniently swap batteries between your Makita cordless tools without missing a beat.
