Makita BL1830 18V 3Ah LXT Li-ion Battery

Product Information

The 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah and 6.0Ah 18v Li-ion battery (BL1840 / BL1850B / BL1860B) will work with your 18v machine if it has a star on the connector plate, has a yellow connector plate with a star or has a yellow connector plate only. Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries charge faster and work longer than standard lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your Makita cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity for demanding applications. The Makita 3.0Ah battery (BL1830B) has a category-leading charge time of only 30 minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. It also features an L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. Makita is the innovation leader in cordless tool technology and has the world’s cordless tool line-up powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. INNOVATION : Integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge Looking at the graphics, it can be noticed the difference in charging between Well Balanced Charging and Unbalanced charging. As you can expect, the Makita Lithium-Ion charges all cells equally while also discharging them evenly, resulting in all cells being used to their maximum potential, increasing the battery performance and charge time.

With over 100 power toolsacross the 18v range, we can understand the importance of choosing the correct battery for each power tool and vice versa. Makita 18V batteriesfeature one of the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing users to maximize their usage. DC18RD is a two port fast charger that is able to charge two Makita Li-ion batteries (14.4V-18V) at the same time, as fast as DC18RC charges one battery. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they’re ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during charging to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. The Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging.

Battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C) The Li-ion range delivers 430% more working capacity during its lifetime compared to Ni-Cad and is 40% Lighter than Ni-MH

Charge time 14.4/18V 3.0Ah battery in 22 mins18V 4.0Ah battery in 36 mins 18V 5.0Ah battery in 45 mins Makita 18V Lithium-Ion is the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery The new Makita 4.0Ah battery with a 60 minute fast charge time with a DC10SB charger or 130 minute standard charge time with a DC10WD charger. Makita's Lithium-ion tools have proved market winners and now Makita's expanded range offers a comprehensive, powerful and lightweight selection of professional tools to complete any job.The new battery is engineered to give more run time (twice the run time of the Makita 3.0Ah LXT battery), but with the same weight and dimensions as the lower-capacity 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, and 5.0Ah LXT batteries. It reaches a full charge in only 55 minutes (with DC18RC / DC18RD fast chargers), the fastest charge time in its category. Includes a battery capacity indicator LED so you know how much charge is left. The Makita 18v 3.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery contains high energy density technology. Being Lithium-Ion, the BL1830B has no memory effect and is much lighter than other battery chemistries. 22 minute re-charge in DC18RC charger as well as battery capacity indicator LED's which show you how much power you have left at the touch of a button. Fits all Makita 18v LXT Li-Ion tools with Makita 'Star' technology so if your tool also has a 'Star' you can be assured of battery protection.
