Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Dual Bay Rapid Battery Charger

MILWAUKEE M18 18-VOLT LITHIUM-ION DUAL BAY RAPID BATTERY CHARGER, is a really fast battery charger ! This charger is a RAPID charger, and even has a cooling fan when charging batteries. Has a really long cord (6 FT.), and also you can hang this one on your wall in your garage or workshop. Has plenty of vents built into the charger to get good air flow so not to overheat. And you can charge 2 batteries at one time, that’s what I really like about this charger. Great Job Milwaukee !!

I have three Milwaukee products plus two extra batteries=five batteries and three chargers. Batteries are not much use without a charger. Swapping them in and out is doable but now with this dual charger, I am covered. The single chargers work well but it is convenient to have the double. My son takes my tools, uses them, and never puts the battery on the charger. So now I have a backup and I am not swapping batteries from tool to tool. Nice! Rather than carry around three separate chargers, I have this dual one. This saves you an outlet. Also, it seems to charge the batteries faster than the single charger. If you are on the job, you know how important it is to have charged batteries ready. If you are on the job, it is nice to carry multiple tools and just one (dual) battery charger. It beats carrying two chargers with a power strip. All battery chargers are able to be wall-mounted.For the occasional Milwaukee tool user, this is a convenience. For a pro, this is a necessity. Anyone who has looked at the typical charger that does an M18 battery and an M12 must have thought it would have been nice to have a dual charger on the wall or job, instead of two or three single chargers. The cost is typical for such a product, there is a five-year warranty, and it chargers faster than the single charger. This is a great product. I recommend it with the point made that I think it should have come with at least a single if not double USB port(s) in the back of it. That way, no one is fighting for a plug to charge a phone or tablet or other device.

I have lots of Milwaukee Tools and frequently use multiple Battery chargers during major projects. The Milwaukee M18 Dual Bay Rapid Battery Charger allows two batteries to be charged simultaneously, and is 3X faster than standard sequential chargers. This allows for working all day without waiting on batteries to charge. The battery charger can be mounted on a wall or placed on any horizontal surface. It also has an internal fan to cool the electronics, and communicates with the batteries to ensure they do not overheat while charging. The Milwaukee M18 Dual Bay Rapid Battery Charger is perfect for the professional that uses multiple high energy demand tools. It’s a very useful item, and comes with a 5-year warranty.

This charger is much faster than the regular one, I can charge two 5 amp batteries no time,

Battery- powered tools have come a long way, and with the advent of lithium- ion batteries tool running time has increased too. Eventually, though a battery will always need charging, always at the wrong time. Then it was, wait, wait, wait. The Milwaukee dual- bay, 18 volt, “Rapid” charger fills that need. The specs state it will charge two XC5.0 3 times faster than a typical charger, time is money. It apparently does this by use of an onboard, circuit board and a cooling fan. The other nice feature, this is wall mountable. No more excuses for not having a charged battery when you need it.

If you own any Milwaukee 18 volt batteries and use your tools all the time then you need this dual charger. I have a rapid charger that charges my 18V and 12V batteries that puts the standard chargers to shame and this 18V volt dual charger doesn’t disappoint either. I have a few larger capacity Milwaukee 18V batteries that can take longer to charge with a standard charger but this dual 18V charger can charge them in half the time because it also uses a internal fan that cools the system while they are charging plus internal components that create more amperage. The charger can be mounted to a wall or peg board to save space.

Charges 2 battery at the same time like it says

The past weekend my son and I started on a good size job to finish the interior of his large three car garage with an add on work shop. The interior was just furred in and needed drywall , paneling and a ceiling and we really needed to get it done on a Saturday / Sunday weekend. Our main concern was just how well our electric screwdriver /drill would hold up and could we keep the batteries charged to keep going.. After an hour or so we needed to start rotating batteries and through out the day our new duel battery rapid charger actually out preformed us and was amazing as to how rapidly it could charge 2 batteries at the same time. This is a great rapid duel 18 Volt charger.

Very noisy

Cooling fan is a little noisy.
