This is a battery starter pack designed for anyone buying bare tools who needs a dependable power supply, and it includes two BL1850B 18V LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries and one DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 5.0Ah batteries are the practical setup for real work. With the DC18RC charging a 5.0Ah pack in 45 minutes or less, you can run one battery while the second charges and rarely stop for power. Each BL1850B provides up to 65% more run time per charge than the BL1830 3.0Ah battery, and weighs 1.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BL1850B uses Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. An integrated LED charge level indicator reads out remaining charge. The impact-resistant outer case has a shock-absorbing inner liner, and sixteen contact terminals help maintain a solid connection under vibration. Low self-discharge means a pack is ready to use even after sitting in storage, and the batteries are rated to deliver consistent power in cold weather down to -4 degrees Fahrenheit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC18RC Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in communication system that reads the battery's chip and actively controls current, voltage and temperature during charging. A built-in fan circulates air through the battery as it charges to cool it for faster charge times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese batteries fit Makita 18V LXT tools with the Star symbol or a yellow battery receiver. Makita's 18V LXT system is one of the largest cordless lines built on an 18V slide-style lithium-ion battery, covering drills, impact drivers, saws, grinders, outdoor tools and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy this pack if you are starting on Makita 18V LXT with bare tools, or if your current packs are worn out and you want a fresh pair of 5.0Ah batteries plus a rapid charger in one purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmart Charging That Protects the Pack\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/2607\/1151\/files\/ab249af7-c17f-4aa6-b860-46b7154efc57_dc18rc_p_1500px_ab353ec2-8847-4004-ab69-87d4b66f31a8.png?v=1764099756\" alt=\"Makita DC18RC 18V LXT Rapid Optimum Charger included in the BL1850BDC2X1 starter pack\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC18RC does more than push power.
