Makita DC18RD Dual Port Battery Charger, 120 VAC Input, 14.4, 18 V Output, 2 to 6 Ah, Battery Included: No

Makita LXT is the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. At the heart of the LXT system is the 18 V LXT lithium-ion battery and the efficient rapid optimum charger. The 18 V lithium-ion dual-port rapid optimum charger (DC18RD) charges two batteries at the same time, giving tool users unparalleled charging efficiency so their batteries spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The 18 V dual-port rapid optimum charger offers key advantages for Makita 18 Vlithium-ion cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools 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 optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature. The result is category-leading charge times, two 18 V compact lithium-ion 2 Ah batteries in only 25 min, two 18 V LXT lithium-ion 3 Ah batteries in only 30 min, two 18 V LXT lithium-ion 4 Ah batteries in only 40 min, two 18 V LXT lithium-ion 5 Ah batteries in only 45 min.
