Fun video. Fast charging however drastically reduces the life of lithium ion cells. The slower you can charge them the longer they last.

On behalf of him I'd like to welcome myself to the channel and kindly request that he doesn't interrupt the middle of my videos anymore with pretty impact drivers in a hot tub.
But anyway cheers for the guest spot and the beers dude.

@Builds & Stuff. Thanks guys for making this video. It's amazing that the 40V XGT Rapid charger is louder even when measured further from the phone sound meter!

Do you guys know when Makita first sold that single bay standard charger where you are? I first saw it last Christmas when it was included in a 1/2" impact wrench with 3AH battery and bag. What a disappointment (the charger). Always liked that Makita always included rapid chargers with all their kits. Every other tool maker makes you buy their rapid or "super" charger separately except in rare cases. The fans not only keep the charger cool but more importantly, keeps the batteries cool during rapid charging. Heat is what kills those batteries during charging.

Hope you guys and your families stay safe and well.

Now I'm considering getting 2 slow chargers on top of my 2 quickchargers and Dual charger. They seem great for overnight charging, even though the lack of a fan doesn't entice me. Cooled fast charging vs uncooled slow charging; dilemma to choose which one is better for the battery.

What are you up to Rob high hacker now 😂😂😂👍

Okay so far fast chargers they are all the same time difference is about 4 minutes but you can't prove batteries are equally drain so
What I wanted to see was current and voltage rating between the two fast chargers and the slow, I have a power tool without charger so i charge with bench power supply

[joshuajarrett]

Does the slower charger come as a dual port? Also, does it have a fan or no. Cheers!

Hey mate, fellow kiwi here, would you know if the dual port standard chargers (DC18SH) chime/melody when charged? Cheers.
