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 largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

Review: Good deal on OEM batteries - Working construction your are constantly going through batteries. But they are not cheep. I have tried OEMS and others I find these work the best and last the longest. They are not the fastest to charge but that’s a good tinge with batteries a fast charge equals a quicker replacement cycle. They were a good deal here a lost less expensive, definitely recommend if your using them a lot.
Review: Makita Battery - I bought these to use with my Ridgid SeeSnake camera. The batteries fit and work great. Substantially cheaper than the Ridgid battery and charger.

I bought these to use with my Ridgid SeeSnake camera. The batteries fit and work great. Substantially cheaper than the Ridgid battery and charger.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the best deal out there for 18v 4.0ah Makita Lithium Ion batteries
*by B***H on March 13, 2022*

The best Amazon price on a pair of genuine Makita 18v 4.0ah Lithium Ion batteries is $140. For $125, you not only get the two batteries ,you get a charger and a pretty decent bag. It's a no-brainer. I already have this "starter kit" with the two batteries, charger, and bag. I wanted to get another battery, but single batteries cost nearly as much as a pair (about $100), so I might as well get two. I don't need another charger or bag, but $125 to buy another starter kit with two more batteries sounds a lot better than $140 for just a pair of batteries. The original starter kit I got works great. The charger charges, and the batteries hold a strong charge for a long time.
