Get outside with Outdoor Adventure, a new series of cordless products that operate within the LXT® system. Outdoor Adventure Products feature advanced technology, delivering maximum performance and efficiency for the outdoors. Makita offers hundreds of products within the 18V LXT® system so you can create your own adventure.

Have the power to go anywhere with the Outdoor Adventure™ 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack (4.0Ah) (ADBL1840BDC1). The Kit is a great companion to “bare tools” (tool only, battery and charger sold separately) that are offered as part of the Outdoor Adventure™ 18V LXT® lineup. Pick up the Outdoor Adventure™ Battery and Charger Starter Pack, then purchase the 18V "bare tools" you need to enjoy the outdoors.

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 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 a communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
