Product Description
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.
The 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.
Replaces DC18SD / DC18RA.
FEATURES
Fast charging - charges a Makstar 18v LXT Li-Ion 3.0Ah battery in only 22 minutes
Built-in CPU - gathers information from the battery's memory chip to determine optimum charging method
Forced air cooling fan - cools the battery to minimise charging time
Digital power display identifies the condition of the battery and charging condition
Makita’s 18v & 14v batteries have a built in memory chip that records the battery usage history. While the battery is connected it will transmit the data to the charger
