This is Makita\'s Lithium-Ion charging system. This charger uses three controls to ensure the best possible charge: Temperature, Voltage, and Current.
These controls are monitored by a chip on the battery, and analyzed by a CPU on the charger. This prolongs battery life, and keeps cordless power tools running at peak performance. There is a forced air fan on board the charger, keeping batteries cool while re-charging. A 3.0 Ah battery will charge in less than 45 minutes.
- Voltage: 18V, 14.4V
