This battery lacks a key computer chip to communicate with a real Makita charger. It won't give it an optimal charge

david costa - makita chargers work just fine for this battery. i don't know what "tooldawg" thinks is an "optimal charge" but when i charge these batteries on my makita charger they operate stronger and at least 1.25x longer than makita's biggest 18v batteries. i've been using mine for over a year with no problems.

this battery lacks a computer chip like a real makita battery to communicate with a real makita charger.

Yes. Although in my case it might have included the WRONG charger, so beware... I have 3 chargers total from 3 different B&D; purchases, and while 2 of them are the correct voltage, one is much too high (appropriate for a 24V pack, not 18V). I think I roasted one of my 4 battery packs accidentally using that one, because I didn't check its output until much later. This was probably a one-time error, but that was my experience, and obviously not a happy one. The saw itself works great, though--I was frankly amazed at how well it works. Drastically exceeded my expectations.

This charger is only the 120 volt version, but I am sure that Makita makes units that will work any were in the world. You can always get a 12 volt DC charger.

I answered yes but perhaps I should expand by saying u plug the charger into the arm of the drill. Somewhat diff from most of the 18v range

It does charge the 18v orange/blue and the new ones by Ryobi. I recommend this charger.

If it is a charger for 20 volt battery. The battery will not work with an 18 volt charger or 24 volt charger.

The Mikita charger works with the expert power batteries. The batteries work better that the originals.

Absolutely not!!! Look at the plug. You'll blow up the battery and melt the charger if you try 220v

Yes it dose not fit the Makita charge but I'd use the DeWalt Supercharge for all my Battery, it charges in about 13 to 15 minutes or less.

The one that came with the Makita BCL180W 18 Volt charger does have the rapid charger technology. Charges in about 15 minutes and it is rather pricey but you don't need to have a second battery which is also pricey.

Yes , the charger will charge batteries between 6v-12v so you will be ok. depending on wich "female connector" you have it should work great. and if it doesn't include the connector you need, you could always run down to your local hobby shop and pick up a adapter .

The 18 volt lithium batteries will work with your tools that use the yellow batteries but you will need a different charger for the lithium batteries

Yes, the Makita charger model 1290A works fine for recharging this battery, remember to fully charge the battery(s) before first use, cause...rechargable batteries have memories like an elephant.

You can use any of the Makita Lithium Ion batteries from 14.4 volt to 18 volts or the included AC adaptor

Basically, no. It would require longer time ( to convert) than to charge several batteries and I am not sure it is even possible to convert. Makita makes no provisions for ac power in the kit.

Yes. You can use a conventional charger. It's best to use one with automatic shutoff because you don't want to overcharge a lithium battery. We also have a special charger made by Shorai for their batteries. $73.00. Call me for more info: Len - 661-245-2000
