Rapid turnaround - Thanks to a 4A charging current
A sustained 4 amp charging current reduces recharge time for high-capacity XR packs, demonstrated by a 64-minute full charge for an 18V 4Ah Li‑Ion battery. Fast bulk charging gets cells back into service quickly without resorting to excessive trickle periods.
Shorter downtime between jobs, allowing multiple batteries to be cycled through a busy workday. Practical for teams or individuals who must keep tools running with minimal waits.
Prolonged battery life - With Dewalt two-stage charging
A two-stage process moves from a higher initial charge rate to a controlled finishing stage, limiting stress on cells and avoiding overcharge. LED status cues report charging phases and battery temperature during the cycle.
Batteries retain maximum storage capacity for longer, reducing the need for premature replacements. Particularly useful for contractors who rely on battery longevity across many charge cycles.
Neat workshop footprint - With compact, wall-mountable design
A compact enclosure is suitable for bench or wall mounting, allowing fixed installation in a van or workshop. The supply includes a single DEWALT fast charging unit ready for straightforward mounting.
Saves bench and vehicle space while keeping a charger accessible and permanently installed. Ideal for mobile tradespeople who value organised kit and quick access.
