DEWALT 20V MAX Battery Charger, 4-Ports, Simultaneous Charging for 12V and 20V Max Batteries (DCB104)

Expensive and worth every dime.

As a non-recovering DeWalt cordless tool addict, this fit the bill perfectly. My issue is with the product description. This site says it charges 60v Flex batteries. When the product arrived there was no indication on the box that it charged anything larger than 20v. There is a single, obscure page in the owners manual (a chart actually) that confirms it should. Well, it does work on 60v Flex!

It charges batteries quickly, but the absence of USB charging ports on an almost $300 charger is a fail in my opinion. Another place where it falls short is that the internal electronics are not potted. It’s a portable charger and that means that sometimes it may encounter wet conditions on a job site, as my first one did. And because of that I’m on my second one. These over sights are because it was designed by someone who doesn’t actually use the product he designs. I find it to valuable at it’s rapid charging to be without it though. I am going to open the new one up and spray a sealant on the internals though.

DeWalt doesn’t disappoint. Well made, portable. Charges all of my batteries quickly. Another great product by DeWalt.

Great product,fast shipping. Great for projects that take a lot of time.

Charges very quickly but a bit pricey when I bought it. If it’s on sale I highly recommend it.

I have loaded it with 4 6AH batteries and it charged all of them at ones with no issues. Ive also used it on 1,2,3,4 and 5HA batteries. No issues.

The key to knowing whether its right for you is to do a little math. DeWalt ships chargers in 1.25A, 2.0A, 4.0A, 8.0A and theres a 12A charger. Anything greater than 4.0A is considered a Fast Charger and will have a built in fan. This one charges any/all ports at 8.0A. Say you just bought a Lawnmower with two big 12.0ah batteries. That kit comes with two 1.25A chargers. Meaning, it will take about 10 hours to fully recharge both batteries. So, this baby will charge both batteries in about 2 hours. Now, if youre not a contractor or dont have a big yard, maybe overnight is OK. The next charger down the line that will charge the big batteries in less than overnight time is the 4.0A. at $89 retail. 2 of these will cost about the same as the 4 port charger. And the new 12A Fast charger is $119 now. Now, I have 4 charging ports taking up just one outlet. I bought mine before the big price hike, so it made sense - even though Im not a contractor.

Dewalt has put in magical gnomes that stir the atmosphere into a space/time continuum that rips the fiber or reality. There is nothing better than placing 4 tired batteries who have put in a long day and they are fully charged before you eat and get out of the shower. Do not buy anything else. I paid 129 for a 2 port regular charger and gave it to a friend for no charge. This is the only charger to ever buy period, hands down, dont even ask for another review, perfect charging system. Even with monster 9 amp hour batteries they still charge before it is time for me to goto bed. I have right at 1800 dollars worth of batteries and can charge them all in 1 night. Edit 2 years 3 months later and it is now 2021 and still working as good as it did the day i plugged it in the first time. I bought in 2018 so this is the perfect gift for anyone who has dewalt tools

I have been eyeing this charger for a while. The going price used to $199.00, I wish I bought it that price. I am very pleased with this charger. As an experiment I charged a 6AH flexvolt, two 20 volt and a 12 volt battery simultaneously. The batteries charged rapidly and independent of each other. I’ll admit this isn’t a charger for the occasional user, however if you are a serious DYIer using the Dewalt platform you might want to consider this one. USB charging ports would have been a nice bonus. Dewalt?
