Product Description

Makita DC40RA 40V Max XGT Single Port Rapid Charger (191E09-4)

Keep your commercial fleet powered and entirely eliminate job site downtime with the Makita DC40RA 40V Max XGT Single Port Rapid Charger. Engineered for the extreme demands of the 40V XGT platform, this intelligent Makita 40V battery charger utilizes highly advanced digital communication. The charger actively exchanges real-time data with the battery's built-in microchip, optimizing the voltage, current, and temperature throughout the entire charging cycle. This smart technology ensures the absolute fastest charge possible while actively preventing cell damage, drastically extending the overall lifespan of your expensive lithium-ion batteries.

Heat is the ultimate enemy of rapid charging. To combat this, the DC40RA is equipped with a revolutionary dual-cooling fan system. Two independent fans simultaneously cool the battery cells and the internal charging circuitry, allowing you to pull a hot battery straight off a high-draw tool and immediately begin charging it without waiting for it to cool down. Delivering the fastest charge times in its class—charging a 2.5Ah battery in just 28 minutes—this rapid smart charger is the ultimate solution for professional tradespeople, commercial landscapers, and contractors who demand continuous, relentless performance from their cordless tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a 'Smart' charger?

The charger features a digital chip that communicates directly with the microchip inside the Makita 40V battery. It reads the battery's current temperature and charge history, and automatically adjusts the voltage and current to charge the battery as fast as possible without damaging the internal cells.

Can this charge my older Makita 18V LXT batteries?

Yes, but you will need an adapter. By purchasing the Makita ADP10 adaptor (sold separately), you can slide it onto this charger and rapidly charge all of your standard 18V LXT batteries.

How long does it take to charge a 4.0Ah 40V battery?

The DC40RA is incredibly fast. It will fully charge a BL4040 (40V 4.0Ah) battery from completely flat to 100% in approximately 45 minutes.

Why does the charger make a fan noise when I plug a battery in?

That is the dual cooling fan system activating. Heat damages lithium-ion batteries. The fans instantly blow cool air through the battery's internal vents and across the charger's circuit board, cooling them down so the battery can accept a rapid charge safely.

Can I leave the battery on the charger overnight?

Yes. The charger features an automatic shut-off system. Once the battery reaches 100%, the charger stops sending current, protecting the battery from dangerous overcharging. However, for long-term storage, it is best practice to remove the battery.

What do the different lights on the charger mean?

The large LED display indicates the battery's status. Typically, flashing green means ready, solid red means charging (0-80%), solid red and green means charging (80-100%), and solid green means fully charged. Flashing red/green indicates a hot or damaged battery.

Can I change the beep sound the charger makes when finished?

Yes, the DC40RA features selectable melodies. You can quickly cycle through different tunes or simple beeps so you can distinguish your charger from others on a busy job site.

Will this charger run off a 12V car inverter?

This charger is designed for a standard 240V AC mains power supply. While it can run off a high-quality pure sine wave inverter in a work van, the inverter must be rated to handle the high wattage spike this rapid charger draws.

Does it charge two batteries at once?

No. The DC40RA is a 'Single Port' charger, meaning it charges one battery at a time. If you need to charge multiple batteries simultaneously, you should look at the Makita DC40RB Dual Port Charger.

Is this charger wall-mountable?

Yes, the back of the charger features molded keyhole slots, allowing you to easily screw it to the wall of your workshop or the inside of your tool trailer to save bench space.

Does it charge 12V CXT batteries?

No, this charger is strictly for the 40V Max XGT platform (and 18V LXT via an adapter). It will not charge the smaller 12V slide-style CXT batteries.

Do you offer trade discounts for builders outfitting their team?

Yes, Freshway Supplies offers highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for commercial builders, landscapers, and tradespeople. Contact us to establish your trade account.
