Makita – DC18RE 18V LXT /12V CXT Dual voltage Rapid Charger
The DC18RE has a built-in fan to cool the battery 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. In addition, the DC18RE is engineered to optimise battery life by actively controlling current, voltage, and temperature during charging
The result is category-leading charge times. For Makita 18V LXT® batteries, the DC18RE will charge a 2.0Ah battery in only 25 minutes, a 3.0Ah battery in only 30 minutes, a 4.0Ah battery in only 40 minutes, a 5.0Ah in only 45 minutes, and a 6.0Ah battery in only 55 minutes. For 12Vmax CXT® slide-style batteries, the DC18RE will charge a 2.0Ah battery in only 30 minutes and a 4.0Ah battery in only 60 minutes. The DC18RE is a sequential charger and will charge one battery at a time
- Ability to charge both 18V LXT and 12Vmax CXT battery platforms
- Fast charging – charges 18V 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
- LED power display identifies the condition of the battery and charging condition
