Makita 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Rapid Optimum Charger - DC18RC

Worth getting a second one if you're a Makita fan cos it's got a fan it's

Great little device, charges fast as it's fan cooled, has a chip that tells you more than you want to know about the condition of a Makita battery. I have a different top brand one that's very basic in comparison but costs more. The first DC18RC here came with two batteries in a kit including a case and impact driver, and opened the door to picking up more Makita tools as needed, some 36v (2x18v batteries) ones too. After that It was worth spending a little bit to get a second DC18RC to avoid waiting when charging one battery at a time. Makita cordless stuff is impressive, so more batteries and another (dual?) charger will be along soon. If you have similarly invested in a Makita battery platform, and only have the one charger, this is an investment in your time and toolbox.Read full review

Makita DC18RC

Genuine charger from Makita that air cools the battery being charged. It's able to do this at a rapid rate for that reason. The charger also has adjustable alert sounds to inform you of when the charge is complete. Able to charge 14.4 and 18 v batteries. Not just original Makita batteries but other makes to fit the Makita brand... Great charger very pleased with my purchase at a very good price.Read full review

Excelent product good value

Like all Makita products very well built and very good value for the money. this operates very quietly even with the fan on, and charges the batteries very quickly so i do not have to buy so many batteries to keep the job moving.Read full review

Great battery charger.

Great price and this charger charges the 4 amp 18v battery in about 40 minutes. Contains a small but quiet cooling fan to assist quick charging. Very easy to plug the battery in/remove.

Genuine Makita product

Genuine Makita product, so well made. Charges efficiently. More expensive than non branded models, but hopefully will be safer and last longer.

Surprisingly good

I was worried, initially, because it was silent, but I checked the manual and it has a choice of tones, and I pretty quickly realised that I could select the tune I wanted, or no tune at all. Initially when it was silent I thought it was faulty or less good quality, but actually it is in all ways better than my old one, though I have not had enough experience of it yet to decide if it is faster.

I am VERY pleased with itRead full review

Makita battery charger

Works fine, feels flimsy but does the job satisfactory, just handle with kid gloves and hopefully will last a long time

Makita charger

Great piece of kit
Having the cooling fan means the batteries last longer.
I’ve got 2 now.
Would definitely recommend getting one!

Good Quality Product

Used to charge a Makita 18v LXT battery. Good indication of battery state and fan system keeps battery cool under charge. Highly recommended.
