## Description

"Build your own Makita Tool Kit with the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack (5.0Ah). Makita offers many cordless tools 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 Products powered by two 18V lithium-ion batteries. It's an ideal way to start building a Makita Cordless Tool System. 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 Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC) provides tool users unparalleled charging efficiency so their batteries spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. Makita, the innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.".

Review: Makita Quality at a Great Value - As a long-time fan of Makita cordless tools, I’ve always been impressed with the durability and performance of their batteries and chargers. While the initial cost is higher than generic alternatives, Makita products prove their value over time with extended lifespans and reliable recharge cycles. The included carry case is a great addition - crafted from rugged ballistic fabric that seems more than capable of withstanding daily jobsite use. If you want dependable, long-lasting batteries and a well-designed charger, this set is worth every penny. Highly recommend!
Review: Quality tools and freed from the cord! - For work that is not too heavy-duty, battery power is the way to go. It frees you from extension cords and all the time that they take to hoop up, unwind, and rewind. Makita is a quality brand and their tools are first-rate. I have no issues with anything Makita so far, and since there are so many tools that are very attractively priced "without batteries" it is nice to have a few batteries so one is always charged and ready to go. I have a spotlignt (after-market, not Makita) that uses the Makita battery and working underneath a table on model-train wiring it has been invaluable. The Makita battery has provided many hours of life without requiring recharging, so the two batteries are more than enough for my use now. This was a very attractive kit at an attractive price; I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable Batteries, but Upgrade the Charger for Faster Performance
*by R***L on September 16, 2024*

I'm just reviewing the batteries and charger here, as this came with a reciprocating saw and I reviewed that item separately. The Makita batteries are fantastic—super reliable and very sturdy. They’ve held up well over time and are a solid choice for any Makita tool user. As for the charger, it’s decent and will get the job done, but I strongly recommend upgrading to the Makita fast charger that can handle two batteries at once. The fast charger is significantly quicker and has a built-in fan to keep the batteries cool while charging, which is a nice touch. This standard charger works fine, but it’s a bit slow compared to the fast charger and can only charge one battery at a time. If you're using a lot of Makita tools, the dual fast charger is a worthy investment.
