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

Product Information

The 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. Inserted battery has Over-discharged, this can happen if the power tool has not detected that the battery is low and continued to drain power from it. A solid red lightmeans your battery is below 80% and having a good time chargingas it should be. Don’t panic, the red light on your Makita battery charger is a good thing, not like a red light on your dashboard. Makita DC18SD” charger is your one-stop for all the 14.4Vand 18V LXT Batteries. It has got quite a range, and it’s. Before we get into the functionality of this battery charger, let’s discuss its specifications. Specifications A solid green light means the battery is fully charged. Solid Green Light Means Battery is 100% Charged Warning Lights

Manufacturer of this battery charger is Makita, and this model is called DC18SD. Makita corp. has been in the Industry since 1915 and today are one of the best manufacturers of power tools. Built-in fan circulates air through the battery during the charging process to cool the battery for faster charge time If it doesn’t work leave it a few minutes and try inserting it again. If it still doesn’t work leave the battery for a few days to completely discharge, then try it putting it on charge again. Flashing Yellow light on Makita Charger DC18RC 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 Lithium-Ion battery is surely a popular choice, becoming more and more popular every year. It is used in many ways today, with the huge scope of advancements for the future. Makita DC18SD is a charger designed to ensure the longevity and safety of the batteries. The advanced digital features of the charger make sure that the risks are contained while charging the batteries to the optimal level. Batteries differ according to their Charging speed, loading, depth of discharge and exposure to adverse temperature. Makita DC18SD is best suited for 14.4V- 18V LXT Batteries.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. A single Flashing green light means that the charger is in standby mode. It is connected to an AC power supply and is ready to start chargingyour batteries. 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 Either turn off the device or disconnect the load charge while during saturation. This allows for the charge to drop unhindered. A parasitic load only confuses the charger, and that can complicate things.

If the Yellow light does not flash, it could indicate that it is “ conditionally charging” the battery. The battery can be charged in spite of the yellow warning light. But the charging time will be longer than usual in this case. Start there. Don’t overuse the batteries, and keep them in a safe area, away from harsh conditions. Lower charge voltages are good for extended life. The great cooling system cools the batteries by flooding the inbuilt air vents of within the battery with cool air, reducing the heat buildup and hence protecting the lithium that’s inside. Disconnect the charger or battery, if either one starts getting warmer than normal. This will definitely help in keeping your charger and battery in a good shape for a considerable time.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. The Makita DC18SD 240V Li-ion 14.4v - 18v 60-90 Minute Charger uses a CPU to communicate with the batteries built in memory chip during a charge cycle, which analyses the data stored in the battery chip to decide on the best charging method at that time. This innovative technology results in longer battery life. Built-in CPU - gathers information from the battery's memory chip to determine optimum charging method
