Start building your own Makita tool kit with the 18V LXT Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack. This pack includes two 18V LXT 4.0Ah batteries (BL1840B) and an 18V LXT Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC), giving you the essential power to run over 350 cordless Makita tools. Most tools are available as bare tools (tool only, no batteries or charger), so this starter pack provides the foundation to customize your toolkit.

Advanced Lithium-Ion Batteries:

The 18V LXT batteries resist self-discharge, ensuring they are ready to use even after long periods of storage. They provide consistent, long-lasting power for all compatible tools.

Rapid Optimum Charger:

This smart charging system communicates with the battery to monitor current, voltage, and temperature. It delivers faster, safer, and more efficient charging, with a built-in fan to cool the battery during use for peak performance, even in hot conditions.

Star Protection Technology:

Innovative communication between the tool and the battery helps protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. This extends both battery life and tool performance, keeping your tools reliable for the long term.

Fast and Efficient Charging:

Fully charges 4.0Ah batteries in about 40 minutes, allowing minimal downtime and maximum productivity.

Versatile System Compatibility:

Ideal starter pack for building a complete Makita cordless system, compatible with hundreds of 18V LXT tools for woodworking, construction, and DIY projects.
