It's compact at 105 - 1/2 inches long and comes with a protective cover for the battery. The 5.0 Ah battery BL1850B charges fully in 45 minutes or less. The Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery chip, controls current, voltage, and temperature, and has a built - in fan for faster charging.
