Makita DC18RC 14.4 - 18 V Li-ion Fast Battery Charger Black

Product Information

There are two models, guaranteed to be Makita original chargers, DC18RC and DC18SD. DC18RC is a fast charger, and DC18SD is a normal charger. For Makita battery compatible, plug a not full charged compatible battery into Makita charger, it is charging if the charging light change frome green to red, otherwise incompatible with the charger. Flashing Green Light – Ready to charge. Solid red light – Charging (Battery is below 80% charge) Solid red and green light – Charging (Battery is above 80% charge) Solid green light – Charging complete. Flashing red light – Delay in charging (Battery is cooling or the battery is too cold to charge) Is it OK to leave Makita batteries on charger? Or if you have another normal charger, plug the unit into a different electrical outlet. If the unit still does not receive power, it is likely defective and should be replaced.

A great advantage of Lithium Ion technology is that it provides the user with the possibility to charge the batteries anytime, without any need to wait for their complete power deployment. A great improvement compared to older technologies like Ni-CadThe MAKITA DC18RC has a cooling fan and Active 3 Controls. This means that during the loading of the charging voltage, charging current, and temperature is held in the holes. The cooling system blows cool air into the battery. As a result, high temperatures occur in the battery, so that the battery life is extended, and the charging process is accelerated. Problem is there is a lot of these batteries going to the landfill that are perfectly fine and just need the chip reset. Built-in CPU - gathers information from the battery's memory chip to determine optimum charging method DC18RC (195589-2 ) The Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18V cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools the battery (sold separately) by forcing air through the battery's air vents during the charging process for faster charging. The charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimise battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature. The result is category-leading battery charge times, which means the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. (note: also charges 14.4V Lithium-Ion batteries) The DC18RC fast charger, also known as the Makita DC18RC Li-ion 7.2 / 14.4 / 18v LXT Charger, uses Intelligent Charging Technology to control current, voltage and temperature to maximize the battery life. The DC18RC can charges a BL1830B 18v LXT 3.0Ah battery in approximately 22 minutes - and to the fullest charge.

You can bypass the fuse when it melt down, however as you are bypassing a fuse the next time such fault occurs there will probably be irreversible damage to the electronics. Here are some common questions collection about Makita battery charger problems, I think you will find valuable if you are using Makita power tools. Cost effective, simple to use and easy to fit, the DeWalt / Milwaukee to Makita Badaptor Duo Battery Adaptor is the perfect addition to your collection of power tools. The Badaptor Duo is designed to allow users to attach their existing DeWalt or Milwaukee 18V batteries to a Makita 18V tool in a matter of seconds. Is Makita DC18RC a fast charger?To keep your batteries running at their best, the DC18RC has a forced cooling system to prevent overheating which will give your batteries a longer service life. Sold as a single unit. When put the battery into Makita battery charger, if the lights are not flashing, it mean that the battery or charge is likely defective, but how to judge? Makita Fast Battery Charger DC18RC LXT Lithium Ion 18V charges Makita batteries from 14.4V to 18V. The DC18RC is a compact sized fast charger which takes only 22 minutes to fully charge a 3.0Ah Li-ion battery.
