Specs at a glance

Independent channels, so one bay doesn't drag down the rest

Every channel runs its own power and communication control. If one battery's protection trips, the other bays keep charging normally. That's the kind of reliability you want when a whole jobsite depends on the same charger.

Plug in anywhere

The input accepts 110–240V, so you can use it across markets with the right plug standard — just pick EU, US, AU or UK at checkout. Built-in status and a music/full-charge alert let you know when packs are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which batteries does it charge?

Makita 14.4V and 18V lithium-ion packs, including the BL18 and BL14 series listed above. It does not work with 10.8V (12V max) slim packs.

Dual Port 6A vs Four Port 12A — which should I get?

If you only need two bays running, the 6A dual-port is compact and enough for most home shops. For a fuller kit or multiple batteries a day, the four-bay 12A handles more packs at once.

Can it charge 14.4V and 18V packs?

Yes — it handles both voltage lines in the Makita lithium system.

Does it need a special outlet?

It takes standard household mains with your chosen plug standard (110–240V).
