The Makita LXT System is the world’s largest compatible 18V slide-style battery system with over 350 solutions! Once you have this pack, you can begin adding Makita 18V “bare tools” to your repertoire and always have a battery and charger for them.

What sets Makita Batteries apart from competitors is their components. Makita-built brushless motors eliminate carbon brushes and run contact-free, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for up to 50% more motor life. The electronically controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and speed to the changing demands of the application.

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 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.

Every Makita Lithium-Ion Tool, Battery, and Charger carries a 3-year warranty from the date of original purchase.
