The Makita 4.0 Ah battery combines more run time (35% more run time per charge than the Makita BL1830 battery) with a category-leading charge time of only 40 minutes, so it spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For added convenience, it also features an L.E.D. charge level indicator to monitor battery charge. The 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery (BL1850) is compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they're ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. In addition, the Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster and more efficient charging, even in hot weather conditions. 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 cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V lithium-ion slide-style battery. ## Features - Integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge - Provides up to 65percentage more run time per charge compared to BL1830 - Reaches full charge in 45 minutes or less - Compatible with 18V LXT Tools - Battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter ( 4degreeF/ 20degreeC) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015PVD9ME | | Amperage | 5 Amps | | Antenna Location | Cordless | | Battery Capacity | 5 Amp Hours | | Battery Cell Type | Lithium Ion | | Battery Weight | 610 Grams | | Best Sellers Rank | 53,566 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 329 in Cordless Tool Battery Packs | | Box Contents | batteries | | Brand Name | Makita | | Compatible Phone Models | DHP486, DDF486 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,722) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381463928 | | Item Dimensions | 10.8 x 17.1 x 24.8 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Makita Battery | | Item Weight | 640 g | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Model Name | BL1850B | | Model Number | 197288-2 | | Number of Batteries | 2 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Reusability | Rechargeable | | UPC | 088381463928 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Battery capacity:** 5 Amp Hours - **Battery cell composition:** Lithium Ion - **Brand:** Makita - **Number of batteries:** 2 Lithium Ion batteries required. - **Recommended uses for product:** Cordless ## Images ![BL1850B 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery Twin Pack, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61af+3pOl5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these oem makita batteries or after market batteries with the makita brand logo on it, logo looks odd small in size?** A: I honestly had a similar concern when I purchased these, but I made a good gamble. these ARE without a doubt legitimate Makita Batteries.
