This combi drill comes with two 5Ah batteries and a fast charger all in a Makpac Type 2 Carry Case with Inlay.

The Makita DHP484 is smaller and more compact when compared to the DHP485, making the DHP484 better to use in smaller, awkward spaces and when on a ladder doing overhead work.Perhaps one last question from me - I have the option of higher torque brushed motor versus lower torque brushless motor on the Makita - I have zero experience with the BL motors. When using 5Ah batteries on site, for example, one battery will usually last most of the day on site unless drilling larger holes through joist sized timbers. The Makita DHP458 features the heavy duty LXT motor, all metal 2 speed gearbox and steel keyless chuck. A powerful drill for professional screwdriving and drilling with or without hammer action, two power settings. The Makita DHP458Z themselves will often be sold ‘naked’ or 'body only', which means that the battery and charger are not included.

I watched a video where they compared the latest brushless drills from all makes ,and sadly the makita wasn't really on top.
