## Description

The Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools the battery sold separately by forcing air through the batterys air vents during the charging process for faster charging. The charger communicates with the batterys 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this play music when it charging?**
A: It plays 'Ride the Lightning' if you're not careful

**Q: What is the power supply voltage rating 120V or 110 - 240V**
A: 120v

**Q: It seems there are a lot of replacement stuff, is this real charger by Makita?**
A: Yes it's a Makita charger and 30 minute charge time! I bought one and two 3 amp batteries from amazon.

**Q: Does this charge all 4 batteries at once or does it charge one at a time?**
A: I did some experimentation with the number of batteries that are changed. This will change 2 batteries at a time and once complete go to the next one/two.

The right side is a pair and the left side is a pair. You can charge only one battery at a time on the two left chargers and only one batter at a time on the right two charges. The first battery inserted starts receiving the charge and will continue until full/complete. Once complete the other (if there is one) on the mated left or right pairing will begin charging. There does not seem to be any impact if you start with the inner or outer charging port of the mated pair (left or right pair). 

Putting just two batteries on the left mated pair or the right mated pair results in only one battery being charged even with only two batteries on the DC18SF. To charge two batteries at the same time keep them on the two different mated pairs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buona qualità
*by G***O on 19 December 2023*

Sono mesi che lo sto utilizzando e funziona ancora perfettamente . Buona qualità

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fonctionnement parfait
*by L***P on 9 January 2026*

Parfait.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want to charge the newer 4Ah and 5Ah batteries you need this charger!
*by M***. on 20 June 2016*

Great charger. Charges fast and you can set it to beep or not when it's done. Cools itself and has smart algorithms. **BE AWARE that this "****RC" charger is the one you'll need if you have the newer 1840 and 1850 Makita batteries. You can't use the -RA version to charge these higher amp hour batteries. So, if you are happy with the 3Ah batteries there is no need to purchase this charger, just get more 3Ah's (they are inexpensive compared to the past, and you can find OEM versions on Amazon that are just fine) and use your old -RA charger. This one WILL charge the older batteries, however, and a little faster, so get it versus the **RA if you have to buy a charger. ** ALSO - you need to really push the batteries onto the charger and verify they are seated fully. Otherwise you get a solid red, then a flashing green light combo and you'll be scratching your head wondering why it isn't working. Just push hard and pull it to confirm.
