## Overview

The Makita DC18SD is a high-performance 18V Lithium-Ion battery charger featuring rapid charge times from 25 to 45 minutes depending on battery capacity.

## Description

The Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools the battery (sold separately) by forcing air through the battery's air vents during the charging process for faster charging. The charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage, and temperature. The result is category-leading battery charge times, which means the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Review: Apparently charges slower? way cheaper though - Apparently this version of the charger is slower than the wider version, but I dont really care. Don't need more than 2 batteries to swap between, for my purposes this thing works just fine and costs a lot less.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is" not in retail packaging"**
A: This usually means that the product has been split out of a Makita tool/battery/charger kit and is being sold separately, hence still a new product but no retail packaging. You may or may not receive a manual, though likely not.

**Q: What's the difference between this one and the makita dc18rc?**
A: The item description and answer above is misleading. The DC18SD is the standard charger without the cooling fan that comes with kits. The DC18RC is the rapid charger that is wrongly described here. The rapid charger has a cooling fan to cool the battery in order to charge it more rapidly. 

As quoted from another seller’s website, “ Versatile and compact, the Makita DC18SD 7.2V to 18V NiMH/Li-Ion standard battery charger can charge a 1.5Ah battery in 30 minutes and a 5.0Ah battery in 110 minutes.” Buy the DC18RC.

**Q: Will it charge Makita 12 volt 1.5 amp?**
A: No

**Q: Will this charge the 5 amp batteries?**
A: Yes, this will charge the 5.0ah batteries, BL1850 or BL1850B

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great charger.
*by M***I on November 24, 2025*

Works great for all of my Makita batteries. I use it on 2.0, 4.0 and 5.0 AH batteries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Half the price same result.
*by J***N on June 7, 2025*

I started looking for chargers at my local hardware store until i realized this was half the price. I was a little skeptical given the price of this but after confirming it was the right charger for my battery decided to order it right away. It took a few days to arrive but charges my battery in about 2 hrs.
