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

I always wanted one of these and I was keeping an eye on the price as it would go up and down in conjunction with my local DeWalt dealer. Well everything lined up just right one day and this was available cheaper on Amazon than it was at my DeWalt dealer and I actually had the money to buy it so I did not hesitate. This has been a wonderful charger as I knew it would be. DeWalt is simply great quality!

I use almost cordless tools throughout my day. This thing was a game changer. Super quick charge. I usually plug it in as soon as I get to the jobsite while unloading the rest of my stuff. By the time I’m ready most of not all batteries are ready to go. Can’t say anything for longevity as I’ve only been using it about a month but it gets tossed in and out of the van everyday and no issues so far.

I wish I would have bought this back when I got my first 20v tool. The rapid charger is a beautiful feature. The standard charger with the 20v tools works well but I love how fast this charges those batteries. I like the fact that there is a cooling fan on each docking station to help keep the batteries cool while charging. The charger that comes with the 60v tools functions the same as this docking station in terms of speed and cooling. I would not get rid of the single station charger and replace it with this charger (unless you only have the basic 20v charger). There will be times where to you do not need to tote the suitcase sized charger with you. The major advantage to this charger is being able to rapidly charge 4 batteries at the same time and only use 1 outlet. I was building a deck with friends this past weekend and had multiple 20v/60v tools running at the same time. (5 impact drivers, and 4 saws) Never once did we have someone have to wait for a battery to be charge. Nor did we have to unplug a charger when we needed the miter saw, air compressor or table saw. The charger is fast and convenient.

They sent a efective product and it has been 11 days since the product was returned and they slill have not refunded me / will update if they make it good /// update I did receive a refund from them

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.

I was unsure about buying the fast charger but have never looked back. The Dewalt products that drain batteries faster such as their large masonry saw and large Leaf blower require batteries to be changed out, every 15 to 20 minutes. Given the power of those battery operated tools, I have found the charger to be invaluable for all day work.

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.

Be prepared, its very loud. They are really are trying to keep the heat syncs cool in this thing. But that is a good thing. Just dont keep it close to your work station. Its wall mountable and it has a handy carry handle. The only real thing i dont like about it, is the battery mounts. It take a lot of effort to snap the battery in the slot. way too much. Maybe it will get easier with age. Well see.

Charges multiple batteries very fast. No more playing catch up with dead batteries.

This unit is awesome! Built tough and it charges my 60v batteries so fast simultaneously with my 20v batteries. Wish I would have bought this so long ago. I mounted it to a piece of plywood that had Milwaukee Packout feet attached to the bottom of it. Simple mount and dismount from my Packout toolbox anytime. Big fan of the DCB104! You won’t regret the cost—worth every penny!
