I bought one and two 3 amp batteries from amazon. **Q: Does this charge all 4 batteries at once or does it charge one at a time?** A: I did some experimentation with the number of batteries that are changed. This will change 2 batteries at a time and once complete go to the next one/two. The right side is a pair and the left side is a pair. You can charge only one battery at a time on the two left chargers and only one batter at a time on the right two charges. The first battery inserted starts receiving the charge and will continue until full/complete. Once complete the other (if there is one) on the mated left or right pairing will begin charging. There does not seem to be any impact if you start with the inner or outer charging port of the mated pair (left or right pair). Putting just two batteries on the left mated pair or the right mated pair results in only one battery being charged even with only two batteries on the DC18SF. To charge two batteries at the same time keep them on the two different mated pairs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy/unhappy! *by J***B on 8 January 2026* Great battery charger, unfortunately ours was taken by a tradie doing work in the house, by accident! a necessity for Makita products. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work related *by J***Y on 29 March 2026* Excellent ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it for builders- not gonna use the phone charger though. *by S***N on 23 July 2015* I got this for my Dad as a useful birthday present he'd actually use but not buy himself. He's a builder and uses makita tools daily. He hasn't stopped raving about this since he got it- it apparently charges the batteries really quickly & he likes that you can put a different 'jingle' to each battery. If you use multiple tools all day it's perfect! And the handy iPhone charger is clever.. Although not ideal when on a building site with dust- wouldn't want to leave his iPhone on the floor beside the charger. Good for emergency use though. Maybe if you could somehow dock the phone to keep it safe- under a cover perhaps? It isn't too heavy either which is a bonus. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita DC18RD 18V Lithium-Ion Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger, 2-Port - Makita BL1850B-2 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah Battery, 2/pk, Black - Makita BL1860B-2 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 6.0Ah Battery, 2/pk, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/47950474-makita-dc18rd-14-4v-to-18v-li-ion-lxt-twin](https://www.desertcart.us/products/47950474-makita-dc18rd-14-4v-to-18v-li-ion-lxt-twin) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
