With your batteries longevity in mind the BL1840B has Makita’s Battery Protection System, which provides Over-Discharge, Temperature and Current Protection for enhanced performance, battery cycle life and overall battery life (when used with STAR marked tool).  Li-Ion Batteries offer extended run time  and have more cycles over the life of the battery versus Ni-Cad and Ni-MH batteries. The Optimum Charging System utilizes 3 Active Controls (Current, Voltage & Temperature) to maximize battery life. The Built-In Memory Chip communicates with Charger CPU to optimize the charging process based on the unique conditions of each battery.

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.
