This new Makita DC18WA battery charger base is designed for 14.4V to 18V Li-ion batteries. It features smart LED indicators to clearly display the charging status and includes automatic charging control with pre-charge, constant current, and trickle charge phases for safe, efficient power delivery. Built-in circuit protection safeguards against over-charging, over-heating, and short circuits. The charger has an EU plug. Charging is simple: plug it in (light flashes briefly), a solid red light indicates charging, and a solid green light means fully charged. A slowly flashing red light signals the battery is too hot, while a rapid red flash indicates a faulty or incompatible battery—remove it immediately. For optimal safety and performance, charge in a dry environment at 0-40°C, keep the hardware interface clean, and keep the charger away from children. Always use compatible batteries and disconnect the charger after use. **Compatible Battery Models:** BL1413G, BL1813G, BL1815G, BL1415G. **Compatible Tool Models (examples):** DF347D, HP347D, JV143D, ML187, TD126D, UH420D, UH480D, UH520D, UH522D, UM165D, UM167D, UR140D, UR180D, DMR106, DF457D, HP457D, JV183D, TD127D. **Specifications:** * Colour: Black * Material: Plastic * Plug Type: EU * Package Contents: 1 x DC18WA Battery Charging Base
