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)
- Fast charging – charges Li-Ion 5.0Ah battery in only 45 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
