FAQs
How long does it take to charge one 5.0Ah battery?

Are these batteries compatible with all Makita 18V tools?

Can I use a different Makita charger with these batteries?
Yes, the BL1850B batteries are compatible with other Makita 18V chargers, but the DC18RD offers the convenience of dual-port fast charging.
What is the warranty period for this kit?
Please refer to Makita's official warranty documentation for specific details on the warranty period for batteries and chargers, as this can vary by region and product registration.
How should I store the batteries when not in use?
Store batteries in a cool, dry environment, preferably between 40°F and 80°F (4°C and 27°C), away from direct sunlight and metal objects.
What does the shock absorption feature do?
The shock absorption design helps to protect the battery cells from impacts and vibrations, contributing to the battery's durability and lifespan, especially in demanding work conditions.
Troubleshooting
Battery not charging
Ensure the battery is properly seated on the charger. Check if the charger is plugged in and the outlet is functional. Clean the battery and charger contacts with a dry cloth.
Charger not powering on
Verify the charger is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check the power cord for damage. If issues persist, the charger may need service.
Tool not powering on with a charged battery
Confirm the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the tool. Check the tool's battery contacts for dirt or damage. Ensure the battery is compatible with the specific tool model.
Battery capacity seems reduced
Batteries degrade over time with use. Ensure batteries are stored correctly and not left discharged for extended periods. Heavy use in extreme temperatures can also affect temporary performance.
