Support

Most Makita power tools are protected by “ STAR” protection, this detects conditions that threaten to over-load, over-dischargeor overheatthe tool or battery. The tool will automatically cease operation,this prevents any damage to the battery. The Makita DC18RD twin battery charger allows two batteries to be charged simultaneously and at the same speed that single batteries are charged in the DC18RC rapid charger. The charger features an optimum charging system that communicates with the battery's built-in chip during the charging process. It actively controls current, voltage and temperature to optimize battery life plus the built-in fan circulates air through the battery to keep it cool for faster charge times. My battery is making the charger flash red. This is supposed to mean it’s too hot, but it’s at room temperature and another battery stored with it is charging fine. Once the battery is over 80%charged the solid redlight will be accompanied by a solid greenlight. Solid Red and Green light on Makita Charger (DC18RC) Model Number: DC18RD.
