Makita DC18RC LXT 14.4/18 volt Rapid Battery Charger

The Makita DC18RC LXT 14.4V/18V Rapid Battery Charger is a standalone mains unit for Makita slide-style batteries. It plugs directly into a standard wall socket to run the charging cycle. Compatible batteries reach full charge in roughly 22 to 55 minutes, depending on type and capacity. It suits workshops, maintenance settings, and trade use where cordless tools need to stay ready to go. Charging time varies with the specific battery model and its power rating.

The unit weighs 750 g and has a standalone housing. Intelligent charging control manages the charging conditions and reads the battery's memory data on compatible units to select an appropriate charging method. The package contains the charger only; no battery is included. A mains cable connects the unit to the power supply. The compact design keeps it light enough to carry between job sites, and the setup suits trade and on-site work where a separate battery pack is not needed.
