Makita BL1850B | 196675-2BX Bulk 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion 5.0Ah Battery Pack

Makita BL1850B (196675-2BX) 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery Pack — Bulk, No Box

The Makita BL1850B 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery is a work-ready power source for the full line of Makita 18V LXT cordless tools. Designed for long runtime and quick turnaround, it reaches a full charge in about 45 minutes on a Makita Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately), so crews spend more time working and less time on the bench. STAR Protection Computer Controls™ allow the tool and battery to communicate in real time to help prevent over-loading, over-discharging, and over-heating. An integrated LED fuel gauge lets users check remaining charge at a glance before heading to the next task. Built to handle jobsite demands, the BL1850B uses an impact-resistant case and shock-absorbing liner, and it maintains output in cold weather down to −4°F (−20°C). This bulk version (196675-2BX) ships without retail packaging, making it a practical choice for fleet managers and shops that prioritize value and fast deployment.
