18V Rapid Charger Station Replacement for 48-59-1802 - Dual Bay Simultaneous Charger Compatible With 48-59-1806 48-59-1804 48-59-1812

Great

This is a good charging station and works as well as my name brand charging station. My name brand and other compatible batteries fit snugly and charge quickly in it. If you need a compatible replacement charger or just need an extra one around, this charging station is a good choice.

I never gave it 5 stars because there is no cooling fan, and it took almost 4 hours to charge two 12Ah batteries. It does get the job done if you are in need of an inexpensive battery charger. It is nowhere near the quality of the original Milwaukee Dual Bay Rapid Charger, of course it cost $139 compared to this knock off for $39.00. I bought this to get me by while I wait for Milwaukee to repair my original 3-year-old Milwaukee Dual Bay 48-59-1802 rapid charger, It does have a cooling fan and will charge 12Ah batteries in about two hours. For $39 this knock off does get the job done so it is better than no charger at all and having to spend $139 on a new Milwaukee while I wait for the warranty repair of my old Milwaukee charger. So, it comes down to how much money do you want to spend.

Obviously this is a rapid charger, but it seems to be on-par with the OEM charger. in my very non-scientific testing, it was charging 12amp, 9amp, 6amp, and 5amp batteries in the same amount of time as the OEM.I also like the cord coming out of the rear on the DMMNS vs. what I call the front on the OEM.I am thinking about getting another one to help keep all the batteries charged when working at sites with different tools and people.
