This kit is fully compatible with the entire Makita 18V LXT ecosystem. To set up, simply plug the DC18RC charger into a standard power outlet. When inserting the battery, ensure the charging terminal is clean and free of debris.

When not using the batteries for several months, keep them at a partial charge rather than fully depleted or fully charged to maintain chemical stability.
