18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery

The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery is engineered for superior productivity, offering unmatched performance and a category-leading 45-minute charge time. Designed for long-term reliability, it resists self-discharge so it remains ready for use even after extended storage. To ensure optimal tool performance and longevity, the battery features STAR Protection Computer Controls™. This communication technology allows the battery and tool to exchange data in real time, actively monitoring conditions to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For maximum charging efficiency, the Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) uses a smart-charging system to monitor current, voltage, and temperature while an integrated fan cools the battery for faster results in any weather. As part of the world’s largest 18V cordless system, this battery is compatible with all Star Protection tools, which are easily identified by the Star Symbol™ or a yellow battery receiver.
