For optimal charging, the Makita Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) utilizes advanced technology to communicate with the battery. It monitors current, voltage, and temperature during the charging process, helping to optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. The charger also has a built-in fan to cool the battery, ensuring efficient charging even in hot weather conditions.

The integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows you to easily monitor the battery's charge. The battery provides up to 2X more run time per charge as compared to the BL1830. It reaches a full charge in 55 minutes or less. It is compatible only with Star Protection tools, identified by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool.
