## Description

Build your own Makita tool kit with the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery and dual port charger Starter pack (5.0Ah). Makita offers over 150 cordless tools and most are available as "bare tools" (tool only, no batteries or charger included). pick up the Starter pack, then purchase the 18V "bare tools" you need to get the job done – including 18V X2 LXT tools powered by two 18V batteries. It's an ideal way to start building a Makita cordless tool line-up. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they're ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Rapid optimum charger is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during charging to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. The 18V dual port Rapid optimum charger (dc18rd) charges 2 batteries simultaneously, giving tool users unparalleled charging efficiency so their batteries spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Review: WAY better than 3.0 mah - Awesome these batteries last 2x as long as my 3.0 mah batteries. In a 1/2 drive makita impact breaking 3/4 inch nuts (1 1/8 socket) loose and then retighting at about 500 to 600 ft lbs of toque one battery will last me about 35 to 45 mins if Im really hard on them and thats almost constantly running it.So by the time one dies the other is charged. (3.0 mah only last max 20 mins). In the 1/4 makita drill driver I actually havent had either the 3 mah or 5 mah go dead within 2 hrs. LOVE the lights on the battery to check the charge left. The charger is okay no complaints it does what it says it does I just dont like the cheap feeling of it (like if i drop it or bump it on something it will break) but if you run 2 or more tools its worth the extra $. Also i like that i can charge my 3.0 with the 5.0s and only carry one charger.
Review: Works great - Been using this charger and batteries in conjunction with the ones that came with my equipment and they are interchangeable, I cannot tell the difference. Great quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice addition to a great line of products!
*by S***W on March 30, 2018*

I have 18v Makita batteries that are over decade old that are still running strong. The addition of the battery life meter is a nice feature as well. The run time and reliability has always been awesome. Purchased these to specifically run the cordless router and 4 1/2" grinder. Which they do very well. I have been very pleased with all of Makita's products.
