The Makita DC18RA Li-ion 14.4 / 18v LXT Battery Charger uses a built-in central processing unit to communicate with each battery via their built in memory chip during each charge cycle. This analyses the data stored in the battery chip to decide on the best charging method each time. This innovative technology from Makita results in longer lasting batteries. The DC18RA charges a BL1850B 18v LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery in approximately 45 minutes. Weighing only 750 g and measuring 190 mm in width, 156 mm in depth, and 84 mm in height, the DC18RC is compact and portable, making it convenient for both professional and personal use. Its lightweight design allows for ease of transportation and storage. Conditioning charge can extend the life of battery by automatically searching the optimum charging condition for the batteries in every situation. The battery employed in the following conditions repeatedly requires "conditioning charge" to prevent fast wear out. In that case, yellow light lights up.
