This starter kit perfectly complements the Makita LXT cordless tool lineup.

DC18RC: Thanks to a built-in fan that keeps the battery cool, the DC18RC provides fast, efficient charging. DC18RC also communicates with the battery's built-in CPU to analyze battery condition and control current, voltage and temperature, ultimately optimizing the life of your battery.

BL1850B: Ideal for heavy-duty applications that require long runtime, this Makita 5.0 amp hour slide-style lithium ion battery is loaded with features. It's equipped with over-discharge, temperature and current protection, and its built-in chip communicates with the charger for fast, optimized charging.

Kit includes one BL1850B battery pack and a DC18RC rapid charger.

*Please note that lithium-ion battery packs are flammable and cannot be shipped via air-mail (express shipping options).*
