The Makita DC18RC Charger is suitable for charging 7.2 - 18V Makita batteries. 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.

DC18RC Features:

• Fast charging - charges 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
• 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-Cad
