Designed specifically for high-volume users and tradespeople operating power-hungry 36V (18Vx2) equipment, this advanced charger is capable of charging two Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries simultaneously. It delivers industry-leading turnaround times, capable of fully charging two 3.0Ah batteries in just 22 minutes, or two heavy-duty 6.0Ah batteries in only 55 minutes, ensuring your tools are always ready for immediate deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC18RD protects your battery investment using Makita's intelligent charging technology. A built-in CPU constantly communicates with the memory chip inside each battery to determine the optimum charging method. Working in tandem with the Active 3 control system, it meticulously monitors current, thermals, and voltage to prevent overcharging. Furthermore, a built-in forced air cooling fan circulates cold air through the batteries' internal vents during the cycle, drastically minimizing charging time and protecting the sensitive internal cells from heat damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e36V (18Vx2) Tool Owners:\u003c\/strong\u003e The perfect companion for users of Makita 18Vx2 brushless mowers, blowers, and vacuums, allowing you to charge both required batteries at the exact same time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Construction Crews:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drastically reduces downtime on busy job sites by keeping multiple high-draw tools (like circular saws and rotary hammers) continuously powered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFacility Maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensures landscape and cleaning contractors have a steady supply of fully charged batteries ready for large-scale, all-day tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSame Time Dual Charging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features two independent charging ports that charge two batteries simultaneously, rather than sequentially.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in CPU:\u003c\/strong\u003e Actively reads each battery's internal memory chip to calculate and apply the safest, most efficient charging method.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForced Air Cooling System:\u003c\/strong\u003e A built-in fan cools the batteries during the charging cycle to minimize charge time and extend overall battery lifespan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive 3 Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intelligently monitors and manages current, thermals, and voltage to prevent heat damage and optimize cell health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLED Charging Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e A clear digital power display identifies the exact condition and current charging status of your batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Charge Sound Alert:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a customizable audio tone alert that notifies the operator the moment the batteries have reached a full charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Variations \u0026amp; Kits:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e196936-0:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18V Same Time Dual Port Rapid Charger (DC18RD) Only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e198498-4:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charger Kit featuring the DC18RD Rapid Charger + 2x 18V 4.0Ah Batteries with fuel gauges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e198928-5:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charger Kit featuring the DC18RD Rapid Charger + 2x 18V 5.0Ah Batteries with fuel gauges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Makita\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e DC18RD\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18V (LXT Platform)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 205 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge Time (2x BL1815N 1.5Ah):\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge Time (2x BL1830B 3.0Ah):\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge Time (2x BL1840B 4.0Ah):\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge Time (2x BL1850B 5.0Ah):\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge Time (2x BL1860B 6.0Ah):\u003c\/strong\u003e 55 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Makita","offers":[{"title":"Tool Only","offer_id":31577395527777,"sku":"196936-0","price":399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 4.0Ah","offer_id":31577395560545,"sku":"198498-4","price":549.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x 5.0Ah","offer_id":31577395593313,"sku":"198928-5","price":699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0247\/4691\/7985\/files\/Makita_18V_LXT_Same_Time_Dual_Port_Rapid_Battery_Charger_DC18RD_with_2_x_5.0Ah_battery.jpg?v=1776998978","url":"https:\/\/freshwaysupplies.com.au\/products\/makita-18v-lxt-same-time-dual-port-rapid-battery-charger-dc18rd","provider":"Freshway Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
