Is this charger faster or better than the charger supplied with the 18v Makita hand held vacuum cleaner?

This charger is a screamer! I do not know what charger comes with the vac, but what I do know is that this one totally surprises me at how fast it finishes charging my 3-Amp hour batteries.

It's a 12 volt charger. I used the Makita to cut pieces off tiles, and it worked fine, but it's not suitable for large tiling or any large cutting jobs. comes with two batteries which you need.

Yes and yes! Mine charged faster in the Anker charger that includes oem and non oem i717 batteries

It's quick, faster than the basic home charger. Or atleast it seems that way.

Yes it will charge faster. I can't be exact on how much more, but I would say at least 50% faster.

Yes it's a Makita charger and 30 minute charge time! I bought one and two 3 amp batteries from amazon.

This vacuum uses a smaller 18 volt battery than my drill did. It is apparently the newer designed battery. This one is a flatter design but there are two sizes of this battery and both work but if you have the older, heavier battery pack it will not work in this product. If in doubt which battery pack you have you can go to makitatool.com and check the part numbers that work with this product. This vacuum works with the Li-Ion battery not the Ni-Cad battery pack. These batteries charge in about 15 minutes.

No charger with this bare tool. They're available from numerous sources online (obviously including Amazon) but I don't know how much they cost. I bought the vacuum at the same time and it came with a battery and charger.

Hi David, This dc18rc charger has a 110V input voltage. I have read there are 240V input Makita chargers available in Australia (C-ticked) from reputable Makita dealers. Have also read some companies switch the charger over but some how cannot handle the 240V properly and burn out or cause havoc on the batteries. Hope this helps. Good luck.

The one I have is marked 120 VAC, 50-60 cycle. However, I'm sure Makita makes a different charger for sale where the line voltage is 220-270 VAC.

Yes, the Makita DC18RC 18V Lithium-Ion charger will charge the BL1840-2 LXT Lithium Ion Batteries. I do this frequently with my charger and batteries.

Hi Susheel,Reading the input voltage listed on the charger it is 120 VAC. I had an earlier base and had to purchase a new one because they had different connectors. As such the same model base's can be different. I couldn't say between models.Stew

I do not think it was the same as my original, but I am pretty sure it is legit. I have had no problems, this charger is prob the one that came with the multi tool kit, where as I have just an 18 V drill. Charger has a mini fan to keep it cool, which no other charger I know of has. GL.

The best deal is the 2 18 volt batteries with charger on Amazon for about 156. Don't use an off brand. Off brands can be unreliable and short lived. This vacuum will take either the 1815 (smaller) or 1830 (larger, more amp/hours)

I can't check out all the models, but I checked my own several DC18RA chargers (in different locations) bought with tools over a number of preceding (~3-4) years. They all work well and seem fast. I usually buy an additional battery and have never run out before the backup is charged. Of course, I'm not a professional user.

The cordless dysoncordless only runs 6 minutes per charge and 3 1/2 hr charge time. I returned mine. Got the shark rocket and live it for 1/2 the price

Yes, the Makita charger model 1290A works fine for recharging this battery, remember to fully charge the battery(s) before first use, cause...rechargable batteries have memories like an elephant.
