Our take on the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery, 2/pk

This is a two-pack of Makita's 18V LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, the mid-capacity pack in the LXT line. Makita rates the charge time at 45 minutes with its Rapid Optimum Charger, faster than most 5.0Ah packs from rival systems. The batteries hold charge in storage and use STAR Protection to talk to the tool and cut off on overload, over-discharge and overheating. They fit only LXT tools with the Star Symbol or yellow battery receiver, so older or non-star Makita tools and other brands are out. For anyone already in the LXT system running saws, grinders or rotary hammers, a pair of 5.0Ah packs is the practical middle ground between light 3.0Ah packs and heavy 6.0Ah and larger ones.

About the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery, 2/pk

This is a two-pack of Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries, each rated at 5.0Ah. Each battery charges in about 45 minutes. The batteries resist self-discharge, so they are ready to use after long periods of storage.

The batteries work only with Star Protection tools. These are marked with the Star Symbol and/or a yellow battery receiver under the tool. STAR Protection Computer Controls let the tool and battery exchange data in real time. They monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

The batteries can be charged with the Makita Rapid Optimum Charger, which is sold separately. It monitors current, voltage and temperature during charging, and a built-in fan cools the battery for faster, more efficient charging, even in hot weather.

Questions and answers

Will these batteries fit my Makita drill?
Only if the tool is an 18V LXT model with the Star Symbol or a yellow battery receiver. Older Makita 18V tools without that marking won't take them.
Do I need a special charger?
The 45-minute charge time is with Makita's Rapid Optimum Charger, which is sold separately. Other LXT chargers work but charge more slowly.
How does 5.0Ah compare with 3.0Ah or 6.0Ah packs?
5.0Ah gives noticeably more runtime than 3.0Ah with less weight than 6.0Ah and larger packs. It is the middle choice for high-draw tools.
Can I leave the batteries on the shelf for months?
Yes. Makita says the cells resist self-discharge, so stored packs are ready to use after long periods.
What is STAR Protection?
It is Makita's communication system between tool and battery that monitors current, voltage and temperature and shuts down on overload, over-discharge or overheating.
What comes in the box?
Two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries. The charger is not included.
Where is the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery, 2/pk cheapest?
