will this unit charge the Makita BL1840-2 LXT Lithium Ion 4.0 Ah Batteries?

Yes I replaced the blue charger that came with my kit to this black one and it has been great, been using it for several months now with no issues. I think it is actually better than the one my 18 volt kit came with. It charges faster and seems to give a better charge.

My makita charger bl1840_2 lxt only work for two weeks and don't work no more

Yes, the Makita DC18RC 18V Lithium-Ion charger will charge the BL1840-2 LXT Lithium Ion Batteries. I do this frequently with my charger and batteries.

I believe you have the LXT model. The LXT batteries will work on either the LXT or the "compact" models, but the compact batteries will not work on the LXT. The saw is great, but it requires the larger LXT batteries. I have both models of the 18v Makita and must watch when changing batteries. I have tried and the compacts are a no go.

The battery sent DOES fit the charger. However it will NOT charge. A Makita factor battery does charge however

Since I don't know which charger your "old" one is, it's hard to say. However, you need a compatible charger for Li-ion batteries. The one I bought was backward compatible. It will charge LI-ion and Ni-Cad, but the Ni-Cad charger that came with my original 18 volt Ni-Cad set won't charge Li-ion batteries, or at least that's what I was told. The Li-ion batteries are much better than the Ni-Cads, which were so bad Milwaukee should have replaced them for free. I was so disappointed that I may not buy a Milwaukee product again.

You will need to mod convert your charger its kind of uncommon but here it is I don't endorse the mod conversion nor guarantee anything it's strictly at your own risk but here it is how good luck http://www.schneordesign.com/Avi/Makita/makita_mod1.htm

Basically, no. It would require longer time ( to convert) than to charge several batteries and I am not sure it is even possible to convert. Makita makes no provisions for ac power in the kit.

This charger is only the 120 volt version, but I am sure that Makita makes units that will work any were in the world. You can always get a 12 volt DC charger.

It works with Makita BL1830-2 18-Volt 3.0 AH Battery, and smaller one BL 1815-2 18 volt.

If it requires an 18 volt lithium battery if should interchange . That's the beauty of Makita 18 volt cordless tools , one battery fits all (18 volt)

Yes. The kit comes with the DC18RC charger and two BL1830 18V, 3.0 Ah rapid charge batteries. I've used the tools extensively and the battery charge is long lasting and only takes 22 minutes to recharge completely.

The one I have is marked 120 VAC, 50-60 cycle. However, I'm sure Makita makes a different charger for sale where the line voltage is 220-270 VAC.

The BL1815 is used for lighter makita tools like the vacuum cleaner. The charge doesn't last long but it only takes 15 minutes to recharge. The BL1830 is used for heavier tools like the circular saw. The battery will last longer and takes 30 minutes to recharge. Both batteries use the same charger and actually can be interchanged with most Makita tools. Makita will normally recommend which battery goes best with the tool you are buying. However if you buy a tool that includes the battery, Makita will select the correct battery.

My guess is Yes, we have the same vacuum cleaner, and the charger looks identical to the one with my makita drill set, which is the rapid charger. both say DC18RA.

It takes the Makita BL1830-2 18-Volt 3.0 AH Battery, but some of the Makita tools take booth, I never did try the smaller one though.

It does not seem so. I just checked the label on charger and the only inputs listed are "120v 50-60Hz" and "120v 50/60Hz". Too bad. It's a great set of drivers. Perhaps a 230v-to-120v converter might work. I would check directly with Makita if the electronics of the charger are compatible with a converter.

Same battery for both voltages. The new 12v charger even says it will charge the 10.8v batteries. Has more to do with keeping up with other manufacturers. All batteries have a high "just charged" voltage than "real" voltage. Makita was just more honest in the first tool.
