Charging

1. Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage source. The charging light will flash in green color.
2. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their

respective markings on the charger.

3. When the battery cartridge is inserted fully, the charging light will change from green to red and charging will begin. The

charging light will remain lit steadily during charging.

4. When the charging light changes from red to green, the charging cycle is complete.
5. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.
Refer to the table for the charging time below.

(Note)*1...18 V batteries can be charged with the charger DC1804 only.

NOTE:

• The battery charger is for charging Makita battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer’s batter-

ies.

• When you charge a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a full

charge until after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times.

• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just operated tool or a battery cartridge which has been exposed to direct sunlight or

heat for a long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the bat-
tery cartridge cools.

• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red, charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery car-

tridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.

Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)

If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will switch into
its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by a Makita
Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
