Makita offers over 100 cordless tools and most are available as \"bare tools\" (tool only, no batteries or charger included). Pick up the Makita Battery and Charger Starter Pack, then purchase the 18V \"bare tools\" you need to get the job done. It's an ideal way to start building a Makita cordless tool line-up.\n\nMakita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they’re ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Makita Rapid Optimum Charger 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. \n\nFor 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 line-up powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides up to 50% more run time per charge compared to BL1815\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18V Compact Lithium-Ion 2.0Ah battery reaches a full charge in 25 minutes or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F\/-20°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpact-resistant outer case and shock-absorbing inner-liner are engineered to protect the battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixteen contact terminals maintain a constant connection with the tool to help prevent power loss or fluctuation, even during high-vibration applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery resists self-discharge and remains ready for use even after long periods of storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol™ and\/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakita 18V Lithium-Ion is the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Makita Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery’s built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in fan circulates air through the battery during the charging process to cool the battery for faster charge time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimizes battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem : 18V LXT®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage : 18V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Capacity (Ah) : 2.0Ah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Type : Lithium-Ion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Charge Time (minutes) : 25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage Quantity : 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight : 3.15 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC Code : 088381-466738\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged Height (in) : 11.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged Depth (in) : 4.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged Width (in) : 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kollective.blob.core.windows.net\/uploads\/Images\/Archive\/Exported%20July%202025\/BL1820BDC1\/Makita%20DC18RC_DC18RA%20Instruction%20Manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMakita DC18RC\/DC18RA Instruction Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kollective.blob.core.windows.net\/uploads\/Images\/Archive\/Exported%20July%202025\/BL1820BDC1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMakita BL1820 Safety Data Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Makita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67729367761186,"sku":"BL1820BDC1","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5712\/2594\/files\/Makita_20BL1820BDC1_20Kit_20Shot.jpg?v=1793980307","url":"https:\/\/procontractorsupplyinc.com\/products\/makita-bl1820bdc1","provider":"ProContractor Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
