How does a power tool battery charger work?

Power tool battery chargers efficiently convert AC power from your wall outlet into the DC power needed to charge your batteries, allowing you to get your tools up and running swiftly. Our chargers are designed for lithium-ion batteries and are renowned for their fast charging capabilities, reliability, and greater longevity. Charge a 2Ah battery in just 60 minutes or a 4Ah battery in about 120 minutes. Choose Trade Tested for dependable power tool battery chargers that keep your workflow smooth and uninterrupted.

Are power tool battery packs interchangeable?

Our power tool battery chargers are compatible with all batteries of the same brand and voltage, irrespective of the amp-hour rating. However, they are not interchangeable with batteries from different brands or voltage levels. Ensure you match the charger to your battery's specific brand and voltage for safe and effective charging.

Is leaving power tool batteries on the charger OK?

It is generally not recommended to leave batteries on power tool battery chargers longer than necessary, as this can lead to overcharging and potential damage. However, some advanced power tool battery chargers, like the Makita LXT Rapid Optimum Battery Charger, are equipped with specialised technology to prevent these issues. These chargers have built-in CPUs that optimise charging times and automatically disconnect the battery once fully charged.
