XT287SM1 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 2-Pc. Combo Kit (4.0Ah)

With zero emissions and lower noise, the 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 2-Pc. Combo Kit is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. It's powered by one 18V LXT 4.0Ah Battery, the same battery that powers the full range of solutions in the expanding LXT System. The combo kit includes a blower (XBU03Z) and trimmer (XRU23Z). This blower delivers speeds up to 116 MPH air velocity and a full 459 CFM of air volume. It features a compact and ergonomic design, variable speed trigger, and cruise control lever provides management of power and run time. The string trimmer delivers up to 6, 000 RPM and features a variable speed trigger and rapid-load bump-and-feed trimmer head which loads line in seconds with 3 easy steps. The outdoor power equipment features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.It's part of Makita's expanding 18V L System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

BL1840B 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah Battery

The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity to take on the most demanding applications. The Makita 4.0 Ah battery combines more run time (35% more run time per charge than the Makita BL1830 battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 40 minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For added convenience, it also features an L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. The 18V LXT 4.0Ah battery (BL1840) is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool.Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they're ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system 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 Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created STAR Protection Computer Controls. STAR Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. Makita, the innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the world's cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V lithium-ion slide-style battery.
