Makita BL1830 18V 3Ah LXT Li-ion Battery

Product Information

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. One of the greatest advantages of Makita Lithium-Ion Batteries is that they can be charged anytime without waiting for power’s complete deployment. Where uninterrupted run time is critical, such as on remote construction locations or where charging capacity is distant and would mean valuable time lost away from the operating point, extended run time is all important. The Makita BL1850B 5.0Ah 18v Li-ion battery provides 66% more run time than that of the 3.0Ah battery whilst maintaining the same size and weight so maintaining the excellent balance and comfort of a Makita tool in use.

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. Battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C) Charge Time 2 x 14.4/18V 3.0Ah Batteries in 22 mins2 x 18V 4.0Ah Batteries in 36 mins2 x 18V 5.0Ah Batteries in 45 mins Compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol™ and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the toolCharge times: 14.4/18V 3.0Ah battery in 22 mins 18V 4.0Ah battery in 36 mins 18V 5.0Ah battery in 45 mins The BL1830B is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol™ and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool.

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.The Li-ion range delivers 430% more working capacity during it's lifetime compared to Ni-Cad and is 40% Lighter than Ni-MH. The Li-ion has minimal depletion of power during use or in storage over it's lifetime. W hen new, these batteries require approx. 6 to 8 full charges to reach their optimum performance.

The new Makita 2.0Ah battery with a 30 minute fast charge time with a DC10SB charger or 70 minute standard charge time with a DC10WD charger. The 4.0Ah BL1840 and 5.0Ah BL1850 will be compatible with 18v Makita Power Tools if it has a start on the connector place, has a yellow connected place only or have a yellow connector plate with a star.The Makita Bl1840Battery features the same design, weight and Lithium-Ion technology as the BL1830and BL1850while returning increased battery charge, facilitated by the 4.0 amp. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating Compact and lightweight battery charger designed to charge slide type lithium-ion batteries BL1011B, BL1021B and BL1016B.
