Faster Charging, Faster Working

The proliferation of battery-operated power tools has caused some concerns about on-site charging. Generators, for example, shouldn’t run constantly so the faster batteries are charged, the better the worksite experience…and the faster the tool’s batteries are back online.
 
DeWalt’s new 12 Amp Fast Charger (DCB1112) and 6 Amp Charger (DCB1106) are designed for use in tough jobsite conditions, allowing professionals to quickly charge their DeWalt batteries and get back to work. The 12 Amp Fast Charger has the highest charge rate supporting the DeWalt 20V MAX* and FLEXVOLT lithium ion battery systems, charging a FLEXVOLT DCB609 battery to 80% capacity in under 45 minutes. The Stage 1 and Stage 2 LED indicators communicate the state of charge: Stage 1 LED indicator blinks until the battery is approximately 80% charged, at which point it goes to solid. Once the Stage 1 LED indicator is solid green, the Stage 2 LED indicator starts blinking until the battery is fully charged. The battery is fully charged when both lights are solidly illuminated. The 12 Amp Fast Charger features fan-assisted cooling, through-hole mounts, a latch for transporting the charger with a battery installed, and double insulation that meets UL Compliance.
 
The 6 Amp Charger offers versatility for a wide variety of charging needs and charges a DeWalt 5.0Ah Battery (DCB205) to 80% capacity in under 45 minutes. The 6 Amp Charger also features the Stage 1 & Stage 2 LED format, through-hole mounts, secure latching, double insulation and is compatible with batteries in the DeWalt 20V MAX* and FLEXVOLT systems. Unlike the 12 Amp Fast Charger, however, the 6 Amp Charger is also compatible with batteries in the DeWalt 12V MAX* system.
