Our take on the Makita BL1850BDC2X1 18V LXT Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack (5.0Ah)

This starter pack pairs two Makita 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries with the DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger. Each battery charges fully in 45 minutes or less and runs up to 35% longer per charge than the older BL1840. The batteries use Star Protection electronics against overload, over-discharge and overheating, and hold up in cold down to -4°F. It suits anyone entering or expanding Makita's 350-plus tool LXT line; the trade-off against cheaper generic packs is Makita-only compatibility, and against higher-capacity 6.0Ah packs, less runtime per battery.

About the Makita BL1850BDC2X1 18V LXT Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack (5.0Ah)

This starter pack includes two 18V LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries (BL1850B) and an 18V LXT Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC). It works with the Makita LXT cordless system of over 350 tools.

Each battery reaches a full charge in 45 minutes or less. It provides up to 35% more run time per charge than the BL1840. An integrated LED indicator shows the charge level. The battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C). It resists self-discharge, so it stays ready for use after long periods of storage.

Star Protection Computer Controls guard against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating. An impact-resistant outer case and a shock-absorbing inner liner protect the battery. Sixteen contact terminals keep a constant connection with the tool to help prevent power loss or fluctuation, even during high-vibration use.
