A great advantage of Lithium-Ion technology is that it provides the user with the possibility to charge the batteries anytime, without any need to wait for their complete power deployment. A great improvement compared to older technologies like Ni-Cad SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger.

Fast charging - charges a Makstar 18v LXT Li-Ion 3.0Ah battery in only 22 minutes / 5.0Ah in 45 minutes A flashing yellow light indicates a cooling abnormality. A yellow light will start to flash if the Cooling systemhas come into operation. The battery will still charge in spite of the warning light, but it may take longer than usual. The Makita DC18RC battery charger always lights up red/green and the battery cannot be charged. There are several possible causes for this problem: Makita Battery Charger fully- charged solid green light Red, Green and Yellow (All lights) on Makita Battery Charger DC18RC The DC18RC fast charger, also known as the Makita DC18RC Li-ion 7.2 / 14.4 / 18v LXT Charger, uses Intelligent Charging Technology to control current, voltage and temperature to maximize the battery life. The DC18RC can charges a BL1830B 18v LXT 3.0Ah battery in approximately 22 minutes - and to the fullest charge.

Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery. Once the battery is over 80%charged the solid redlight will be accompanied by a solid greenlight.

A great advantage of Lithium Ion technology is that it provides the user with the possibility to charge the batteries anytime, without any need to wait for their complete power deployment. A great improvement compared to older technologies like Ni-Cad Always 100% genuine Makita 240v fast battery charger. The Makita DC18RA Li-ion 14.4 / 18v LXT Battery Charger uses a built-in central processing unit to communicate with each battery via their built in memory chip during each charge cycle. This analyses the data stored in the battery chip to decide on the best charging method each time. This innovative technology from Makita results in longer lasting batteries. The DC18RA charges a BL1850B 18v LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery in approximately 45 minutes. The solid green light will appear on its own when the battery has finished charging.The charging light will change from solid redto solid greenand the melody soundor buzzer sound (a long beep) will come out to notify completion of charge. The Makita DC18RC battery charger is an efficient device designed for charging Makita batteries with a capacity of 3000 mAh. With an input frequency of 50/60 Hz, it ensures a smooth and reliable charging process. If there are no lightsshowing on your Makita charger it is not receiving power. When the Makita charger is plugged in and receiving power, a single green light will start to flash. This signals that a battery is ready to be inserted.Most Makita power tools are protected by “ STAR” protection, this detects conditions that threaten to over-load, over-dischargeor overheatthe tool or battery. The tool will automatically cease operation,this prevents any damage to the battery. A solid red lightmeans your battery is below 80% and having a good time chargingas it should be. Don’t panic, the red light on your Makita battery charger is a good thing, not like a red light on your dashboard. Constructed with quality materials, the DC18RC ensures durability and longevity. Its robust build ensures that it can withstand regular usage without compromising performance. With an 18 V battery voltage, it is suitable for a variety of Makita power tools and equipment.

Charging delay: If the battery is cooled or too cold, there may be a charging delay. In this case, you should bring the battery to room temperature and try again. As a result, high temperatures occur in the battery, so that the battery life is extended, and the charging process is accelerated Makita’s 18v & 14v batteries have a built in memory chip that records the battery usage history. While the battery is connected it will transmit the data to the charger Flashing red light on a Makita DC18RC battery charger signals a Delay in charging.This can happen if the battery is either too hotor too cold. If the battery is belowor abovethe ideal operating temperature charging may not start. Adaptive charging: The charger can perform adaptive charging to extend the battery life. In certain situations, the charger automatically seeks the optimal charging conditions for the battery. The charging process may take longer than usual.Makita Battery Charger – Ready to charge, Flashing green light Solid Red light on Makita Charger (DC18RC)
