Milwaukee Super Charger and Forge Battery Make a Great Combo

I love how in the early days youtubers would rip Makita a new one for the charger being loud because of the fans in them. Now nearly everyone is starting to put fans in their chargers and everyone is all of a sudden ok with it. Makita once again quietly leading the way (let's not think about their nails guns shall we)

No USB port and musical tune like the Makita dual charger.

Im not a Milwaukee tool fan but still like to be informed of power tool technology.

MILWAUKEE needs to make a SUPER FAST DUEL M12 CHARGER

I prefer the slower charging because the batteries last longer. I have so many batteries I don't worry about needing a charged battery. The ones I don't use often I store at half charge so they don't degrade as fast. I also try to rotate my batteries so I don't use just 1 or 2.

Your home power supply can handle more than 18 amps charging at those voltages. Way more. It could do 100 amps or more. The limitation would be with the cells. As for the fans, those are purely to cool the internal components of the charger which get extremely hot.

I think 🤔 it’s fair to say Milwaukee have put there foot to the pedal.. releasing new stuff , left , right and centre… never been a huge fan , but they are turning my head , and there finishing nailers are great 👍🏼

Bet that charger barely makes warranty period on site work. I’ve got Makita teal chargers still working. All we really want to know is how those big capacity high outputs work on Makita tools 👍

Cool auxiliary aircraft fuel tank.

How I cook off hot BATTERIES with all my PLATFORMS is sticking them in FREEZER for about 20 minutes then put them on the CHARGER

In the UK market they have a dual 12v/18v Supercharger but mysteriously its slightly slower than the dual 18v Supercharger which I find weird. As you say Tools it needs a sound and a USB charger like the Makita dual charger

I haven't seen a plain Jane xc 6.0 here in Canada for a long time. I forgot they even made them. I just checked the Home Depot site and they still list the xc 6.0 but with a "Out of Stock Online. Not Sold in Stores". On a side note, also saw the M12 xc 6.0 going for $98 instead of $168 so I put one in the cart. Glad I watched this video today.. Thanks dude.

I wonder what the run-time is, comparing the 12Ah @18v Milwaukee to the Makita 8 Ah @ 40v....? Also, would it be worth it to get an adapter to fit M18's to Maktools??? Cheers, Mate, thanks for another superior vid!!

I had a M12 rover light go up in flames all by itself while running…..Milwaukee really doesn’t want to talk about it. Thinking about putting it up on RU-vid for the world to see. Maybe then they will want to talk to me more about it

Nice overview of charging milwaukee batteries on the new charger. 1. I think maybe a slight difference of the charging time of the 12 Ah milwaukee battery between real time charging and spec sheet data, could be unblanced cells. There are many videos of problems with unbalanced cells in half of my 12 Ah batteries, especially the older ones. DIY addictir korean channel does a nice video of how to balance charge them with a nifty external balancing system. I have tried other youtube methods with balancing rows of cells in my battery cells every few charges, using a dc power supply to trickle charge the unbalanced cells to match the nominal equal voltage to the other cells. That often solves the 3 bars charging limit of many batteries. Unblancing iccurs mire and more as the batteries are used more and more. The unbalancing increases over time. Reblancing makes the batteries last much longer, but the milwaukee batteries and bms do a poor job of rebalancing, and I think the new charger is no different. 2. Interestingly in your video I can see a 5 pin charging port on the new charger. That is potentially amazing, because it means this charger potentially support charging and discharging on the same port, which potentially means this charger could be used for both charging the batteries, but als used to discharge the battery which means it could function as a battery bank. So this device in the current or futire itteration could be used as a portable battery bank or power station. If milwaukee is smart it could fither develop this to support solar charging with a solar charging port. With 5bpins it would be nice if we could charge and discharge the batteries simultaneously. Over 400 wh at 18 or 36 Volts at 10 or 20 amps has some interesting potential when 2 12ah batteries can be combined in parallel or series on these chargers!😊

J'aime vraiment cette chaîne youtube toujours des informations tres bien detailler . Milwaukee on pousser fort avec le supercharger et la forge maintenant milwaukee donner nous la 12 forge 😁

Makita has an 18V 12A carger for the Japanese market only, the DC18RF. The regular Makita 40V charger could theoretically charge the 18V Makita batteries at 12A too through the adapter.

I’m thinking that the contacts and charger wiring act as a heat sink to pull heat from the batteries. The “battery” fan can cool these and the heat will travel from the battery due to entropy.

Maybe the fans are just for the mosfets under the charging port? Would be cool if you open it

i like how they just stick with 18v and same mount.

2 x 18A x 18V is only about 750W, allow a little more for PSU inefficiency and any mains power outlet ought to be able to handle it (under 4A at 230V)

I don't get why they do the sequential super-charge thing. The US 120v model is rated at 4 amps input, which should not be a problem unless the circuit is otherwise heavily loaded. The kiwi version should be like 2-3 amps I would guess. Makita dual rapid 40v charger is rated at more amps I'm pretty sure--but they are basically 2 single units in a bigger case.

2 of my standard 6.0 that came with my kit stuffed out both times got replaced with new 6.0 high outputs my rep just said normal 6.0 is no longer being sold in NZ that was a good 3 years ago

FAST Charge VS S L O W Charge; this will be debated ad nauseam. Having said that, almost everyone will have a shop fan, or smaller fan, or battery fan or something similar. Even if I am using a ‘fast charger’ with a fan cooling system, or regular charger, I will have a small fan blowing across the charger and battery, during charging, and it MAKES a difference. I cannot tell You if this will prolong the life of the battery, but I CAN TELL You it lowers the temps quite a bit. Yes, I have tested this quite extensively, using a high quality IR gun. Try it yourself! I would wager it does help, as anytime you can keep the heat down in a battery, it is beneficial. Peace!

I'm team makita, but I'm so impressed with power of all millwaukee batteries

My 60 volt-max charges in around 45 minutes on the rapid charger.

Am I right in thinking the super charger isn't anything special in comparison to Makita's chargers? 65 mins to do 12ah is comparable with 50mins to do a 5ah XGT battery. It slightly beats out the charging of a BL1850 but that doesn't have special cells in it like the Milwaukee batteries do.

Is this just a duel chager of the other super charger 48-59-1811?

This is what happens when you can’t sleep at 3:30pm in Canada….you watch tool vids Cheers!

interesting, looks like milwaukee discovered airflow through a solid barrier, maybe they should get a nobel prize for that 😎 joking aside, it looks that it is pushing more than 12A when rapid charging one forge pack, it charges in less than half an hour, and if you take a CC portion of charge cycle into account it has to be around 18A.

I want to know why they made the forge battery so large. I thought half the point of the pouch cell was making the form factor smaller. DeWalt fit 5AH in a battery about the size of Milwaukee's 3AH

Does the charger have a battery or why do you say that it has 18Ah?

Ok but did they design this very expensive charger to work with their tab-less celled 12? Is that still happening?

They also make a Milwaukee super charger that's been out for a while

😮

🤣 @ 01:21 😊

Tools & Stuff --- Got a real charge out of this! I know, Ha Ha 🙄👍💪✌

More HiKOKI 😂

Milwaukee battery it worst, especially the high amp doesn’t last a year, I had Malaysia power tool group had a lot of complaint about the battery die in six months and the charger don’t have the fan to cool down and the worst BMS. Low quality Samsung battery cell with high price.

Not Makita not interested
