Genuine Makita DC18RD 18V LXT Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger

The DC18RD talks directly to the chip inside each Makita LXT battery, adjusting current, voltage and temperature as it charges. You get the fastest safe charge, and your packs last longer.

Two bays charge at the same time, so both batteries for your 36V (2x18V) mitre saw, rotary hammer or lawn mower are ready together, with no waiting on the second pack. Built-in fan cooling blows air through the battery vents, a USB port charges your phone on site, and a chime tells you when you're good to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a genuine original Makita DC18RD charger?

Yes. It's a 100% authentic Makita product.

Does it charge both batteries at the same time?

Yes. Both ports charge at the same time at full rapid speed, so two 5.0Ah packs are ready in about 45 minutes.

Why does the charger have built-in fan cooling?

It blows air through the battery's vents to cool the cells while they charge. That allows faster charging and helps your batteries last longer.

Where is it dispatched from and how fast is NZ delivery?

It ships from our Auckland warehouse by tracked NZ courier, and shipping is free anywhere in New Zealand.
