STANDARD CHARGER DC18SD, CLAMSHELL
The Rapid Optimum Charger offers key benefits for users of Makita 18V lithium ion cordless tools. Unique built-in fan cools the battery (sold separately) by forcing air through the battery 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.
