The 18V Compact Lithium-Ion battery charges faster and works longer than standard 18V compact lithium-ion batteries, giving you and your cordless tools unmatched performance and productivity in a compact size. The 2.0Ah battery delivers up to 50% more run time per charge than the BL1815 18V Compact battery, with a fast charge time of only 25 minutes for increased efficiency.
18V Lithium-Ion batteries resist self-discharge so they're ready for use even after long periods of storage. The Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) is a smart-charging system that communicates with the battery during the charging process to monitor current, voltage and temperature. This advanced charging technology helps optimize battery life and deliver a faster charge. 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, 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.The innovation leader in cordless tool technology, has the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.
Features:
• Integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator allows user to monitor battery charge
• Reaches full charge in 25 minutes or less
• Compatible only with Star Protection tools, indicated by the Star Symbol and/or Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool
• Battery delivers consistent power and run time in extreme temperatures, even in winter (-4°F/-20°C)
