Makita BL1830 Li-ion 18V Spare Battery

Makita BL1840 (196399-0) 18 Volt Lithium-Ion Battery

Lightweight and shock-absorbing. The Li-ion range delivers 430% more working capacity during its lifetime compared to Ni-Cad and is 40% Lighter than Ni-MH.

The Li-ion has minimal depletion of power during use or in storage over its lifetime.

The Makita 18v 4.0Ah Li-ion batteries charge with existing DC18RA and DC18RC chargers with an unbeatable 36-minute charge time.

Through this two-way communication between charger and battery, the charger can recognise the battery and recall its charging history, test the battery's condition and usage and charge the battery accordingly.

Charging at any time will have no effect on the battery. Built-in shock absorbing features protect the battery. Sixteen firm holding terminals reduce the risk of power loss in high vibration situations.

The battery's built-in Memory Chip communicates with the charger to increase battery life using 3 Active Controls (Current, Voltage & Thermal).

This Battery is suitable for all Makita li-ion LXT 18 volt machines.

Makita Star Battery - Overload Protection: 

Makita s STAR Protection Computer Controls help the battery and tool to communicate and protect your tool and battery from overload by cutting power when put under a high current.

Makita Star Battery - Overcharge Discharge Protection:

Lithium-ion batteries are engineered for longer, sustained performance. But running a battery until it s dead empty can damage the cells. Makita STAR Protection Computer Controls analyse the battery charge, and if the battery is too low to complete the application it will cut the power in order to extend the battery life.

Makita Star Battery - Overheat protection:

Extreme heat is the enemy of ALL batteries. It can give batteries a slower charge, damage the cells, and reduce overall battery life. Makita STAR Protection Computer Controls monitor battery heat during operation. If the battery gets to a certain level of heat the power will be cut.
