Makita DC18RC LXT 14.4-18V Fast Charger
The Makita DC18RC LXT 14.4-18V Fast Charger is a rapid, intelligent charger designed for Makita LXT Li-Ion batteries, making it an essential accessory for cordless power tools in the batteries and chargers category. Using advanced charging technology, it constantly monitors current, voltage and temperature to optimise charge times while helping to maximise overall battery life. A built-in CPU communicates with the batterys memory chip, selecting the most suitable charging profile, while the forced-air cooling fan drives cool air through the battery to control heat build-up during intensive use. The digital power display provides a clear indication of battery condition and charge status, allowing professionals to plan work efficiently across the job site, workshop or van. Compatible with 14.4V and 18V LXT slide batteries from 1.3Ah up to 12.0Ah, the Makita DC18RC can charge a typical 3.0Ah 18V pack in around 22 minutes, supporting quick turnaround between tasks. It is supplied as a single DC18RC charger unit; batteries and cases are available separately where specified.
