Battery Chargers for Cordless Tool Platforms
Chargers keep cordless tools running between jobs. Milwaukee options include M18 dual bay rapid and Super Charger kits, M12 four bay and M18 6-bay sequential chargers, the M18 PACKOUT 6-bay rapid charger, M18 and M12 multi-voltage and rapid chargers, and a vehicle charger. DeWALT offers the DCB104 multiport fast charger, the DCB118 fan cooled charger, and a USB charging kit. Festool TCL 3, TCL 6, and SCA 8 chargers and Makita 18V LXT 4-port and 40V max XGT dual port chargers round it out.
What to Look For
- Platform. Chargers are brand-specific. Milwaukee multi-voltage units charge both M18 and M12 packs.
- Bays. Multi-bay chargers fill a crew's batteries overnight. Sequential chargers fill one pack at a time.
- Speed. Rapid, fan cooled, and Super Charger models refill high capacity packs faster than standard chargers.
- Where you charge. Vehicle chargers and PACKOUT chargers fit trucks and mobile storage.

Chargers FAQ
Sequential or simultaneous charger?
A sequential charger fills batteries one after another, which is fine overnight. A simultaneous charger like the DeWALT DCB104 or Milwaukee M18 dual bay rapid charger fills more than one pack at once, which matters when a crew swaps batteries all day.
Will a Milwaukee charger charge M12 and M18 batteries?
Only multi-voltage models. The M18 and M12 rapid charger, rapid charge station, and multi-voltage charger take both. M18-only and M12-only chargers fit one battery style.
