The Makita DC40RA compact fast charger is specially developed for XGT 40v Max lithium-ion batteries, however with this ADP10 charging adapter, the charger is also suitable for fast charging LXT 14.4v and 18v LXT batteries. The charger is also equipped with two fans: one for forced cooling of the battery and one for cooling the charging circuit. Combining these techniques prevents high temperatures in the battery and charger, extending the life of the battery and significantly accelerating the charging process. Result: an optimal loading system.

In combination with this ADP10 adaptor, 18v LXT batteries can be charged faster than with any current LXT fast chargers, when using the DC40RA. For example, a 5.0Ah or 6.0Ah 18v LXT battery is fully charged within 40 minutes, compared to 55 minutes with an LXT fast charger.
