The Multi-Bay Charger charges three Milwaukee battery packs in 45 minutes or less. It has a steel handle and a blow-molded base for impact protection and survives an eight-foot drop to concrete. The steel handle protects the charger and battery packs from falling objects or if the charger is tipped over while on the job site. The Multi-Bay Charger is also a convenient way to store and carry batteries.
After the charger goes through the 45 minute fast charge, the battery can either be removed for use or allowed to remain on the charger to go through the top-off mode process. An 18V battery is made up of 15 battery cells that are 1.2V each which combined make 18V. As a battery pack ages some of the individual cells inside the pack do not reach their full capacity during the charging process. The top-off mode helps each individual cell reach its full capacity to provide increased tool performance and pack life.
The Multi-Bay Charger accepts all Milwaukee slide-on style 12, 14.4, and 18 volt batteries and is generator and inverter ready.
