Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Compact 2.0Ah Battery

The Makita 18V Compact Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard 18V compact lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your Makita cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity in a compact size and less weight. The Makita 2.0 Ah battery delivers up to 50% more run time per charge than the Makita BL1815 18V Compact battery, with a fast charge time of only 25 minutes for increased efficiency.

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 largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

Charging Convenience

An integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows the user to monitor the battery charge. This battery provides up to 50% more run time per charge compared to the BL1815 and reaches full charge in 25 minutes or less.

Star Protection

The BL1820B is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. It is equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating.

Rugged Construction

The battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C). A durable outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner are engineered to protect the battery. Sixteen contact terminals maintain a constant connection with the tool to help prevent power loss or fluctuation, even during high-vibration applications. The battery resists self-discharge and remains ready for use even after long periods of storage.

Makita Technology

Makita 18V Lithium-Ion is the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (charger not included).
