You may or may not receive a manual, though likely not. **Q: What's the difference between this one and the makita dc18rc?** A: The item description and answer above is misleading. The DC18SD is the standard charger without the cooling fan that comes with kits. The DC18RC is the rapid charger that is wrongly described here. The rapid charger has a cooling fan to cool the battery in order to charge it more rapidly. As quoted from another seller’s website, “ Versatile and compact, the Makita DC18SD 7.2V to 18V NiMH/Li-Ion standard battery charger can charge a 1.5Ah battery in 30 minutes and a 5.0Ah battery in 110 minutes.” Buy the DC18RC. **Q: Will it charge Makita 12 volt 1.5 amp?** A: No **Q: Will this charge the 5 amp batteries?** A: Yes, this will charge the 5.0ah batteries, BL1850 or BL1850B ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita DC18SD 7.2-18V Battery Charger - Twupixy 2Pack 18-Volt Replace for Makita 18V Battery BL1860B, Replacement Batteries Compatible with Makita BL1860 BL1820 1830B 1840B 1850B, Fit with Original makita 18V Battery Chargers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/9834596-dc18sd-7-2-18v-battery-charger](https://www.desertcart.be/products/9834596-dc18sd-7-2-18v-battery-charger) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
