DC18WA
Charger
CONCEPT AND MAIN APPLICATIONS
Model DC18WA is a Makita charger developed specially for
charging new slide-style Li-ion batteries.
New Makita Li-ion batteries model BL1411G (14.4V-1.1Ah)
and model BL1811G (18V-1.1Ah) can be charged approximately
in 60 minutes. But the maktec band Li-ion batteries designed with
the same concept, model L1451 (14.4V-1.1Ah) and model
L1851(18V-1.1Ah) cannot be charged.
In order to achieve a cost-competitive advantage, this charger
is not equipped with:
• Optimum charging system
• Forced air-cooling system
Also note that it is not compatible with:
• ADP01 Interchangeable adapter
• ADP02 Refreshing adapter
• ADP03 Automatic refreshing adapter
• ADP04 Interchangeable adapter
