Makita XBU01PT - 36V (18V X2) LXT Blower Kit, dual port charger (5.0Ah)

The 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36V) cordless blower (XBU01PT) is powered by two 18V LXT batteries, so users get 36V power and run time for corded and gas-powered demands, without leaving the 18V LXT platform. Model XBU01PT is a kit and includes two fast-charging 18V LXT 5.0 Ah batteries and an 18V dual port charger that will charge two batteries simultaneously for increased productivity and less downtime. It’s part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created STAR Protection computer controls. STAR Protection is communication technology that allows the star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating STAR Protection inside. The XBU01PT has a variable 2-speed motor (0-10,000, 0-17, 000 RPM) for optimum speed control and a maximum air velocity of 208 MPH with up to 30 minutes of continuous run time on a single charge. Added benefits include lower noise at only 86 dB(A) and zero emissions, making it ideal for applications in residential areas. The XBU01PT requires none of the maintenance associated with comparable gas-powered blowers: simply insert two charged 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries and the tool is ready for work.
