can I use my old makita batter to charge this

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

We have a Makita LXT reciprocating saw . We use a Makita 18v 3.0Ah Makita LI Ion battery.Have had no problems, takes about 30mins to charge.

I have no issues using the original charger that came with my makita drill.

If a charger came with your tool, it will work to charge this battery. Basically, any 12 volt Milwaukee charger that this will fit into should work for you. When it comes to charging, it's the voltage that matters.

No, it's a 110-120v US charger. Im sure Makita has a 240v system however - just look on their web site.

same drill but the Z in the model number refers to the bare tool version. The other version comes with batteries and charger and such. If you already have Makita batteries and chargers from other kits you purchased and you do not have a need for more, then this is the way to go.However, I have been using this drill so far and I do not like it compared to the older version. This one looks new and shorter but does not feel likes its very powerful. It could be my older batteries though.

Be careful! The charger will burn out as did mine when I plugged into 220 volts. I had to order another charger ($90) compatible with 220 volts. Makita was somewhat ambiguous on voltage which took to mean variable voltage.

The saw uses the large black 18 v battery's. I suspect you have a white drill. It has a lower power rating battery that won't fit and would probubly burn up. All the green/ blue tools use the same battery. Unfortunately makita never mentions this that I see. It's like pro verses handyman tools

The Makita 18 V charger is very sophisticated but not universal. You could not use it on 220 V. However, Makita does make a different charger for 220 V so you can recharge the same batteries. cjf007

I am probably not the one to ask as my battery failed in less that a month. The Makita battery charging is aided with communications between the battery and charger. I suspect the manufacturer has not fully cloned the electronics of the original battery.

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.

Amy my Makita model #6011D work just fine with replacement Ni-NM 632277-5,1210 . You will not be disappointed with it's perfomance . It delivers power really well and keeps it's charge alot longer than the type that came with drill .

The Makita radio does not charge the battery. It will charge your iphone or ipod. I wish it did. As far as I know the only radio that charges batteries is the dewalt. I think their patent is still in effect. I've had 2 of those. They stink. all you hear is static while it charges. I like the Makita radio, it sounds great. The only problem so far is the cover over the ipod dock broke off.

120 V - ask Makita if they make a 220 v version. [BTW, why would U want 220 v anyway ?]

I dont know for sure but i would guess that you would need to have the makita batteries.

This battery lacks a key computer chip to communicate with a real Makita charger. It won't give it an optimal charge
