Makita DC18SD 14.4V to 18V Li-ion LXT Charger

Product Information

I will start with the DC15SD Charger but we also have the DC18RC charger further down in this article! Watch The Video

My battery is making the charger flash red. This is supposed to mean it’s too hot, but it’s at room temperature and another battery stored with it is charging fine. Also, Lithium ion suffers from stress if its exposed to too much heat. You should avoid keeping the cell at a charge voltage high voltage. Avoid stressing the lithium ion. Place for storing the unit is also something you should consider carefully. As you know, optimal temperature is paramount in keeping the battery safe. If you live in an area that has extreme weather conditions, make sure that your storage place is in a normal condition. 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 chargerThe charging technology that is at work here, controls the current, voltage and temperature to maximize the battery life. Makita DC18SD 240V Lithium Ion 14.4V-18V Charges has a CPU that works by communicating to the battery’s built in memory chip during the charge cycle. What it does with that data is, it analysis that to determine the best course of charging at that point if time. Smart charging comes in handy when you consider the many factors that affect the life of your battery. This results in a better life for your unit. Makita DC18SD is your smart choice. The weight of Makita DC18SD” is around 700.00 Grams. It is very easy to transport and set. Despite the lightweight, it performs it’s functions with ease.

Solid Green Light Means Battery is 100% Charged Warning Lights The lithium ion batteries work on the ion movement between the positive and negative electrodes. The performance is affected by the factor such as cycling, elevate temperature, and aging. If all the lightscome one when you first insert the battery it could be because it is already fully charged. Try it in your tool first to see if it works!The Makita DC18RD twin 18v Li-ion charger, charges 2 Makita 18 volt LXT lithium-ion batteries simultaneously. The rapid charge technology selects the optimum voltage and current and temperature is controlled by the forced air system that circulates air through the battery to prevent overheating. and a full charge sound alert confirms when the charge cycle is complete. MAKITA DC18RD FEATURES 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
