About This Product

The XGT Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 40V Max XGT cordless tool users. The exclusive dual fan design cools the battery (sold separately) by circulating air through the battery during the charging process for faster charging. The charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature. The result is category-leading battery charge times, which means the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Highlights

  • Charges a 40V Max XGT 2.5 Ah battery in only 28-minutes
  • Charges a 40V Max XGT 4.0 Ah battery in only 45-minutes
  • The XGT Rapid Charger with dual-fan design circulates air through the battery to cool the battery and circuit board quickly for faster charging
  • The XGT Rapid Charger's digital display indicates battery charge level (-80%, +80%, 100%)
  • The XGT Rapid Charger's built-in chip thoroughly communicates during the charging process to control current, voltage, and temperature for more efficient charging
  • The digital communication within XGT actively monitors and protects against overload, over-discharge and overheating

                  I have at least three different generations of Makita, batteries and chargers. This one is the most informative and easy to follow as far as charging charging times and battery life. It seems like they’re phasing these out, but they’re working well for me.

                  Noisy!
                  The charger works like it should but, VERY NOISY! Vibrating rattling noises from the fans. Not for an office environment. The noisiest charger is have ever heard, from across the room.

                    Less than a year old and it quit working
                    Bought the vacuum then had to buy the batteries because they were 12 V didn’t realize that. I thought they were all the same size so I bought the batteries and the charger. One battery is a lot better than the other than the charger quit working now I have to buy another charger not happy very expensive. Expect better quality for Makita.

                      If you leave your batteries over-night then sure. Otherwise a total waste of money.
                      This is for the guy who charges his batteries overnight. It literally takes 8 hours to charge all four batteries. I would have never bought if I had known in only charges a pair of batteries at a time. Then once they’re charged moves onto the next pair. — I leave my tools in a storage unit so dont have power overnight. A big waste of $170
