Makita 1911E6-1 40Vmax XGT Power Source Kit 110V Twin Port Fast Charger with 2 x 4Ah Li-ion Batteries & MAKPAC Type 3 Case

The Makita DC40RB twin port rapid charger is specially developed for XGT 40v Max Li-Ion batteries.The charger is also suitable for fast charging LXT 14.4v and 18v LXT batteries. The machines, batteries and charger of the XGT platform are standard equipped with enhanced electronics so that they can communicate with each other - this allows the charger to give the most optimized charge to the battery depending on the status of the battery itself. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to blue and charging will begin. The fast blue flashing light indicates charged condition in 0–80 % and the blue charging light will keep lighting up steadily to indicate 80–100 %. Indications are approximate and may differ according to battery temperature or battery condition. When finished, the charging light will change from blue to green, and the melody sound or buzzer sound (a long beep) comes out to notify completion of charge.

The BL4040F uses cells with lower internal resistance. As a result, this battery can deliver high peak power (close to that of the BL4050F), will heat up less and autonomy is also better as energy loss during discharge is lower. This battery is particularly suitable for applications where high power is required but where the tool also needs to be as compact and light as possible, e.g. angle grinders, circular saws, rotary hammers and (tophandle) chainsaws.
