A solid green light means the battery is fully charged. Solid Green Light Means Battery is 100% Charged Warning Lights A solid red lightmeans your battery is below 80% and having a good time chargingas it should be. Don’t panic, the red light on your Makita battery charger is a good thing, not like a red light on your dashboard. Makita battery charger – 0ver 80% charged solid red and green light Solid Green light on Makita Battery Charger DC18RC

Makita “STAR” battery and drill protection Alternate Red and Green lights flashing on Makita Charger DC18RC Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. If it doesn’t work leave it a few minutes and try inserting it again. If it still doesn’t work leave the battery for a few days to completely discharge, then try it putting it on charge again. Flashing Yellow light on Makita Charger DC18RC 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. Inserted battery has Over-discharged, this can happen if the power tool has not detected that the battery is low and continued to drain power from it.The 110v version of the DC18RC uses intelligent charging technology to control current, voltage and temperature to maximise battery life. It charges Makita 3.0Ah batteries in approximately 22 minutes, 4.0Ah Batteries in approximately 36 minutes and 5.0Ah Batteries in approximately 45 minutes. The fuse may have blownin the battery charger plug – If this is the case just replace its fuse with a new 13amp fuse. When the temperature of the battery is extremely hot, more than approx. 70°C, two charging lights may start flashing red. When the temperature drops to 50°C – 70°C, one charging light will flash red. Leave the battery to stand for a while to cool down before attempting to recharge. Flashing Red and Green lights on Makita battery charger DC18RC The Makita DC18RC battery charger always lights up red/green and the battery cannot be charged. There are several possible causes for this problem:

This battery charger supports the charging of one battery at a time, providing an output current of 9 A. The charging time for a single battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh is approximately 0.36 hours, which is relatively fast and efficient. The Makita DC18RC battery charger is an efficient device designed for charging Makita batteries with a capacity of 3000 mAh. With an input frequency of 50/60 Hz, it ensures a smooth and reliable charging process. This means that during the loading of the charging voltage, charging current, and temperature is held in the holes If there are no lightsshowing on your Makita charger it is not receiving power. When the Makita charger is plugged in and receiving power, a single green light will start to flash. This signals that a battery is ready to be inserted. After charging or before attempting any maintenance or cleaning, unplug the charger from the power source. Pull by plug rather than cord whenever disconnecting charger.

Makita DC18RA 18v LXT Li-Ion Fast Battery Charger 14.4 / 18v

Makita Battery Charger – Ready to charge, Flashing green light Solid Red light on Makita Charger (DC18RC) A great advantage of Lithium-Ion technology is that it provides the user with the possibility to charge the batteries anytime, without any need to wait for their complete power deployment. A great improvement compared to older technologies like Ni-Cad Makita’s 18v & 14.4v batteries have a built in memory chip that records the battery usage history. While the battery is connected it will transmit the data to the charger Always 100% genuine Makita 240v fast battery charger. 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.

The DC18RC fast charger, also known as the Makita DC18RC Li-ion 7.2 / 14.4 / 18v LXT Charger, uses Intelligent Charging Technology to control current, voltage and temperature to maximize the battery life. The DC18RC can charges a BL1830B 18v LXT 3.0Ah battery in approximately 22 minutes - and to the fullest charge. Makita Battery Charger fully- charged solid green light Red, Green and Yellow (All lights) on Makita Battery Charger DC18RC As a result, high temperatures occur in the battery, so that the battery life is extended, and the charging process is accelerated The re-charging time of such battery may be longer than usual as the battery may have continued to discharge in spite of low power.

The MAKITA 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. 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. Fast charging - charges a Makstar 18v LXT Li-Ion 3.0Ah battery in only 22 minutes / 5.0Ah in 45 minutes Charging delay: If the battery is cooled or too cold, there may be a charging delay. In this case, you should bring the battery to room temperature and try again.
