Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the Makita DC10WD charge Makita 18V LXT batteries?

No. The DC10WD is for CXT batteries at 10.8–12V Max only. Makita 18V LXT batteries use a different rail and voltage and need an LXT charger. The charger also does not take the older 10.8V insert-style batteries. Check that the battery is marked CXT or 12V Max.

How long does a battery take to charge in the Makita DC10WD?

That depends on capacity: 50 minutes for 1.5 Ah, 70 minutes for 2.0 Ah, 130 minutes for 4.0 Ah and 160 minutes for 5.0 Ah. With two batteries in rotation, swapping at lunch or during longer breaks is usually enough when using the smaller batteries.

What separates the Makita DC10WD from the DC10SB fast charger?

Charging speed. The DC10WD charges a 1.5 Ah battery in 50 minutes, while the DC10SB fast charger handles the same battery in about 22 minutes. In return the DC10WD is compact at 0.35 kg and 33 W, and suits use as a spare charger, overnight charging and anyone with several batteries to rotate. For intensive work with few batteries, a fast charger means less waiting.
