Includes 18V Cordless LXT Lithium-Ion 1/2-in Hammer Driver-Drill - BHP451-R, (2) 18 Volt 3.0 Ah LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries - 194205-3, Optimum Charger - DC18SC, Screwdriver Bits - 784637-8, Carrying Case - 824754-3, Operating ManualWe’ve come a long way from sweat and a screwdriver. A hundred years ago, builders would never have envisioned a tool as powerful and efficient as this one. Heck, even 20 years ago. Science has ushered battery technology along, and the LXT Lithium-Ion system that powers this impact driver has a ton of advantages over standard NiMH or NiCad batteries. The Lithium-Ion technology means 1,400 battery life cycles, longer run time, lighter weight, a great reduction in the self-discharge rate and built-in shock-absorbing features to protect your battery. But perhaps the coolest innovation is what Makita calls its 45-minute Optimum Charger. It actually talks to the batteries it charges throughout the cycle, using a built-in memory chip in the battery and, believe it
