Makita DC18RD 14.4V–18V LXT Li-ion Twin Port Rapid Charger with USB

Makita DC18RD 14.4V–18V LXT Li-ion Twin Port Rapid Charger with USB

The Makita DC18RD is a twin-port rapid charger that charges two 14.4V or 18V LXT Li-ion batteries at the same time. It charges two 5.0Ah batteries in about 45 minutes, the same time it takes to charge one, so it is ideal for tradespeople who run several Makita cordless tools and need batteries ready and waiting.

A built-in cooling fan blows air through the battery while it charges. This cools the cells, speeds up charging and helps extend battery life. Makita's charging system also communicates with the chip inside each LXT battery to control current, voltage and temperature, so every charge is optimised to protect your batteries.

A handy USB port lets you charge your phone, tablet or other devices from the same charger, which is useful on site or in the van. The DC18RD is compatible with all Makita 14.4V and 18V LXT slide batteries. Browse our full range of power tool accessories at Tool Source.
