kjones Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 It is coming. I have one of the units to start showing around, and they should be available for sale soon. The new 20v MAX vehicle chargers are coming soon as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midogrumpy Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 hi if you have one for showing around can you not post a picture? otherwise send a private message mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjones Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm not really sure if I can post pictures at this point. Until I see a picture released by DeWALT marketing, I will hold off on posting my own. Sorry if that sounds lame, but I don't want to be the guy that messes up a release or something! Hope you understand. FYI, it looks like it sounds. It takes 7.2v through 18v, or 12v MAX/20v MAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjones Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 There ya go! That is it. And both batteries will charge simultaneously, which is a big plus when you compare it to other makers dual "style" chargers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Is there already a new catalogue (2012) ? I'll have to start asking around. Maybe the good folks at DeWALT will bring one when they come to visit in a few weeks. That's a really nice charger. This may come in handy untill I fully switched to 18v XR.

Maybe the good folks at DeWALT will bring one when they come to visit in a few weeks. That's a really nice charger. This may come in handy untill I fully switched to 18v XR. A new cordless catalog with all products through 2012 became available to us about a week ago. Not everyone has them yet, so whomever is visiting you may not have them yet. And the charger is a really nice solution. It will, as you said, help to ease the transition for users who want to switch, as well as be a great permanent solution for those who plan on using both styles, including those who choose the 18v/12v MAX option.

Mr. Yellow Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks. Will see. The events & project manager together with an end user rep will pay a visit. I guess they will have the latest and greatest. Gotta be honest. A yellow charger looks better than a black one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
