Makita is the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V Lithium-Ion slide­-style batteries. At the heart of the Makita 18 V System is the efficient Rapid Optimum Charger.


DC18RC has a cooling fan and Active 3 Controls. This means that during the loading of the charging voltage, charging current and temperature is held in the holes. The cooling system blows cool air into the battery. As a result, high temperatures occur in the battery, so that the battery life is extended, and the charging process is accelerated.
