The Makita 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion battery (BL1820B ) charges faster and works longer than standard compact lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications.
This Makita 2.0Ah battery combines more run time (50% more run time per charge than the Makita BL1815 battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 25 minutes. The batteries resist self-discharge so they’re ready for use even after long periods of storage.
The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC) is a smart-charging system for all your LXT batteries 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 DC18RC unit has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions.
