If you have a Makita battery that can charge quickly, the XFD131 can use it. It works with Makita 18V LXT batteries of all sizes, from the small 2.0Ah battery to the larger batteries for longer run times.
The kit comes with an 18V LXT 3.0Ah battery that can be fully charged in just 30 minutes, which means less downtime and more work done.
It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, which is the world’s largest cordless tool system that runs on 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, which are the most powerful batteries in the world.
18V lithium-ion batteries from Makita have the fastest charge times in their categories because they work more and don’t have to wait as long to be charged.
If you want to improve the performance of your tools and the life of your batteries, Makita came up with Star protection Computer controls. This is a communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool to exchange data with the battery in real time and monitor the conditions during use to protect against overloading as well as over-discharging.
For more versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and small Lithium-Ion batteries that have the Star symbol on them. These batteries have Star protection inside.
When you need help from Makita, you can always count on them.
It was bought in 3Q18 and used a lot.
Locked Chuck up: (likely due to my dropping on slab and it hitting directly on chuck).
To send the broken tool to the Makita Factory Service Center in Houston, Texas, I bought a new one.
Warranty is the only thing you need.
Kept the battery and charger, but I forgot them.
Flat rate: $15 for USPS.
In two days, I got my drill back.
This means that now I have two drills and I am a very happy Makita customer.
