Makita's 18 V LXT batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time on the charger. To improve performance and extend battery life, Makita created Star protection Computer Controls. The Star protection is the communication technology that allows the tool equipped with Star protection and the battery to exchange data in real-time and monitor the conditions during its use to protect against over-load, over discharge and over-heating.
