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

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.

As expected this is a solid charger for either Flexvolt, 20V max and even the new Powerstack batteries. Solidly mounts to the original ToughSystem storage boxes, but does not fit on the newer ToughSystem 2 boxes. Does its charging in parallel. Does its charging fast. Can be mounted to a wall and has a unique through-hole mounting points that allows you to not use those hard to line up with key slots. There are a few videos showing how to modify the base to mount on the TS2 cases, but all are destructive modifications. Still it does what it says it will and it is a real boon to Dewalt owners with attacks of batteries.

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

Fast charging and very nice to have 4 stations to get all your batteries charging to get to work.

Somehow over time I ended up with a daisy chained mess of cords and surge protectors. I have 3 Milwaukee, 5 Dewalt, and 4 worx batteries. And each battery had its own charger, it was a mess. The first step in cleaning out the rats nest was this 4 banger. Which I just found out can also support the 20/60 flex batteries, so getting ready to make that jump as well.

Love it, a must if you have a lot of tools and batteries

I’ve got a DeWalt chainsaw. It uses a lot of electricity. But with some spare batteries and this 4 bank charger I don’t run out of juice (as long as I’m on the property).

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.

I bought this for my husband who works in framing and uses a lot of the DeWalt power tools. He loves it and says that it charges the batteries in no time at all. Will definitely buy again if we need another.
