Milwaukee VS DeWALT VS Makita - Battery Charger Showdown!
Today we are testing out some of the top tool manufacturers fast or rapid chargers to see which company gets you up and running and back to work faster!
1. DCB118 20V MAX* FAN COOLED FAST CHARGER
The DCB118 Fast Charger is a fan-cooled charging that is compatible with 20V MAX Batteries and the new 20V/60 MAX Battery. The charge rate is 8 amps for Premium Batteries and 4 amps for Compact Batteries.
2. DC18RC 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Rapid Optimum Charger
Makita LXT is the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. At the heart of the Makita 18V LXT System is the efficient Rapid Optimum Charger.
The Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18V Lithium-Ion 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 optimize 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)
3. 48-59-1808 M18 & M12 Rapid Charger
The M18 & M12 Rapid Charger charges packs up to 40% faster, reducing downtime and maximizing productivity. The charger accepts all M18 and M12 batteries, providing an upgrade for both systems.Featuring REDLINK Intelligence, it communicates directly with the battery to monitor cell voltage, temperature, and charge status to optimize the performance and extend the life of the pack. As an added level of communication, the charger indicates when the battery reaches an 80% charge, providing confidence that a substantial amount of work can be completed without waiting for a full charge.
Lets see who chargers their batteries the fastest! Let us know what you think of this test and the results in the comments section below!!
