wildroamer Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Good morning fellas, Anyone own this charger yet? Model 48591808. I'm considering buying a M18 Fuel Saw all, bare tool, and then piecing together the case and a charger. I know the case fits the standard multi-volt, 48591812, but judging by the pics I've seen online, the two chargers seem to share the same form factor. Anyone seen both chargers side by side?

Negative. I am of no help to you..... although. ... home depot has such specs as dimensions, Regular charger sizes http://thd.co/QggaUK Rapid charger http://thd.co/1OILT9Z Not sure what's up with that one height dimension of 12" that's obviously a typo, but they are different dimensions Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Read the reviews on the rapid charger link, apparently it will fit just fine in the cases that came with the regular charger. Although I think they should make it standard and just do away with the slow charger Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 The size markings online alternate almost randomly between the product size and package size so it might just be one comes in a 12 inch box. Is that charger not standard with their newer tools? That's just bs if they're still packaging new tools with a slow charger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most combos still are shipping with the slow charger but I want to say some one key combos have the rapid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the guys in the main shop have several of both and one of the farm managers has one of the fast chargers. I just saw it the other day and want to say it is the same base dimensions but not as tall. I would assume they would want the mounting points to stay the same so they will still screw into the mounting holes in their toolboxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryNY Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Just FYI if you have an M18 battery and want to know if it takes full advantage of the rapid charger look on the top for a lighting bolt near the connector. If it has one it will charge at a faster pace than if not: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I was pretty annoyed when my One-Key kit came with the old charger. I would be too, call Milwaukee and complain you pay 500 dollars for a premium tool kit and you can't have a premium charger to charge your premium batteries? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yes, it is ridiculous. Especially since promo pics seemed to have the rapid from what I recall, I was surprised to see standard chargers listed in content lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildroamer Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I just sent them a rather wordy message detailing my disappointment with both the One Key "feature" and the lack of a top tier charger to go with their top tier tools, especially at $500. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Ruud Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Does anyone know if the rapid charger will fit sideways in the Ridgid 22.in pro organizer toolbox? I've heard that the charger is abit smaler then the orginal to fit sideways in the HD box, so if it fits in the ridgid then i will buy it, or else i don't rly like to charge batteries to fast.

Daniel Julian Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Rapid charger (per Home Depot website) is smaller. Here are specs for rapid charger: DIMENSIONS Product Depth (in.) 5.625 Product Width (in.) 6.750 Product Height (in.) 2.940 Here are specs for regular (not rapid) charger: DIMENSIONS Product Depth (in.) 4.5 Product Width (in.) 8.75 Product Height (in.) 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildroamer Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I just looked at the hammerdrill impact driver M18 Fuel kit and it appears to me that it still has the standard multi-volt charger, not the rapid charger. http://www.cpomilwaukee.com/milwaukee-2897-22-m18-fuel-18v-cordless-lithium-ion-1-2-in--hammer-drill-and-1-4-in--hex-impact-driver-kit/miln2897-22,default,pd.html?start=1&cgid=milwaukee-cordless-combo-kits&prefn1=series&prefv1=FUEL 48-59-1812 is the standard charger, 48-59-1808 is the rapid charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
