does this come with a charger? is it true that the 10.8v battery is the same as the 12v battery (just re-rated)? is so why get the 12v?

Same battery for both voltages. The new 12v charger even says it will charge the 10.8v batteries. Has more to do with keeping up with other manufacturers. All batteries have a high "just charged" voltage than "real" voltage. Makita was just more honest in the first tool.

Yes it comes with a battery charger but, a smart charger that prevents overcharging would be a wise investment. (It is too easy to leave the battery charging too long.)

Mine came with a charger. If you are buying a used laptop its best to first contact the seller and ask what accessories will be included.

No, this is not a re-chargeable battery so it does not come with a charger.

Yes. It came with a charger, but when the batter was empty, it would not charge. It was only about 6 months old, so after a lot of time spent, I just bought a new battery and it seems to work all right now......................I just read the other two comments and found that I didn't know the difference between a usb charger cable and a battery charger. So, now I learned something too.

no. not a charger either. I got a charger off ebay for like ten bucks and I bought a new 2.0ah battery from home depot for around 65 dollars.You should get 4 or 5 hours from the smallest battery and around 8 -9 hours for the 2.0ah battery. They charge in less than a half hour though.

No it will not, the 12v is designed only to operate on a 12v battery. Also the 10.8 is not a Li-ion battery like the 12v.

Nope. It doesn't come with a charger you use AA batteries. An idea instead of using normal AA use the one that are specifically for high battery draining electronics - like cameras. You can get them at Target.

No, it comes with its own charger. You will probably need an adapter to accommodate the new model. To be sure you should check with the manufacturer.

Hi. Yes this comes with a charger as we'll. I bought this a few months ago and is still working great

I can't recall it coming with a charger but I also bought a mobile charger (came with an adapter for charging in the car as well as another battery) which works great. I gave me three batteries which has been nice on long travels.

Yes it comes with a rechargable battery, not sure if it is a 6v. My son has had this since christmas still ruuning great, he has alot of fun with it. we did have to buy a new battery shortly after we bought it. Not sure why.

guess it depends who you're buying it from. Generally, they do come with a charger, but the last one I bought did not and it was cheaper, of course.

Yes you can charge the 12v 10000 mah because there is a switch to change how much power is going to the battery so yes you can use this charger to charge your battery

I believe the DC10WA charges only the 10.8 battery and the DC10WB will charge any makita battery with voltages between the 7.2 and 12 volts.

the kit comes with a charger, bag and one (1) battery. the charger is the same kind that comes with the other 12v max kits. it also includes 2 short blades- one metal cutting and one wood cutting. i have not seen blades this size sold in lowes or home depot but i have been using standard length blades with no problems.

No Nigel, it's just a single battery. However, I do think you can buy a charger separately if you want to.
