DeWalt DCB1112 12-Amp Fast Charger
The DeWalt DCB1112 12-Amp Fast Charger has the highest charge rate of the 20V Max and FlexVolt platforms. It can take a dead 3.0/9.0Ah FlexVolt battery to 80% capacity in under 45 minutes. For reference, the Milwaukee Super Charger can fully recharge an XC 8.0Ah High Output battery (slightly lower Wh rating) in the same amount of time.
It also gives you a method for determining when that magic 80% charge has been attained. DeWalt has designed a 2-Stage LED system to communicate this sort of information to the user. The first LED indicator blinks until the battery reaches an 80% charge, at which point it goes to solid green. The second LED then blinks until the battery reaches a full charge. Then, both LEDs light up to let you know that the battery has fully charged, rather than you having to pull the battery from the charger to check the state.
The DeWalt 12-Amp Fast charger also features fan-assisted cooling, through-hole mounts, a latch to lock the battery onto the charger for travel, and double insulation that meets UL compliance.
The DeWalt DCB1112 retails for $99 and comes with a 3-year warranty/1-year free service agreement/90-day money-back guarantee.
DeWalt DCB1106 6-Amp Charger
DeWalt will also release a charger with more of a versatile approach to recharging. The DCB1106 DeWalt 6-amp charger can charge the brand’s 20V Max, FlexVolt (60V), and 12V Max batteries.
DeWalt tells us that this charger can manage to take a 5.0Ah 20V Max battery to that 80% charge status in under 45 minutes as well.
Like the DCB1112, the DeWalt DCB1106 charger features the 2-Stage LED format, through-hole mounts, travel latching, and double insulation.
The DCB1106 DeWalt 6-amp Charger retails for $79 and comes with DeWalt’s unique 3/1/90 warranty.
