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

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 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?

The low quality battery that comes with most purchase of Dewalt outdoor tools and the low quality charger makes buying this 4-Port MAX charger a necessity. I bought it, and two two-packs of the higher quality batteries and I can work all day (rotating, 4 charge < hour).

Can you keep this thing plugged in because when it’s plugged it the fans still run and the red lights once their done charging stay on maybe I should read more but does any one know

I really like this charger. Only been using it for about 6 month. It can charge my flex battery pretty quickly. Have to see how long it would last.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Husband hasnt used it yet but the product came highly recommended by his boss so we expect it will be fine.
