what battery model and charger does it need?

I bought this exact same unit in January. It uses the same battery and charger that the previous Makita drill uses. DC-18RA is on the charger and the batteries say BL1815. This is the best drill by far that I have ever owned BTW.

My husband says it takes any of the 18v LI batteries and they all use the same charger.

They show the charger that goes with the battery on Amazon. You can purchase it there. I already had the charger someone gave me and all I had to do was order the green battery. From what I understand they send the red one now and I believe it is a different adapter. Hope this helps.

Hello! You'll need a battery for it. It takes a Sony NPF970 or an equivalent. I'm using this one and works just fine: Zeikos ZE-NPF970 7400mAh Lithium Battery Replaces Sony NPF960/970You'll need this charger: Mini Battery Charger Kit for Sony NP-F550, NP-F750, NP-F960, NP-F570, NP-F770, NP-F970, NP-FM50, NP-QM71D, NP-QM91D Batteries - with fold-in wall plug, car & EU adapters

If you choose either the 1.25Ah or 2.4Ah(recommended) Battery pack it will come with a battery and charger.

You have to replace the battery you want to charge it. And also you need to use the battery charger. I bought ot separately

yes it came with a charger and battery. The battery was not that great and now i need to have it plugged in because the battery will not hold a charge. The battery didn't last that long when i got it when it had a full charge and slowly got worse.

The charger is universal for that model of battery. A handy device when your mini usb port is damaged. Make sure you have two batteries so you can recharge one while using the other.

The label doesn't list compatible battery models. My old charger list 15 different batteries it will charge. Your model wasn't one of them.

Mine came with a battery and charger. Make sure the item explicitly says they are included.

Batteries come in all shapes and sizes. Any 7.2+V battery will work, if it fits. You may also need to replace the connector or make/buy an adapter.

Looks like you already have the answer. The package includes an additional battery and charger.

It comes with the basic (black) charger. It came with two batteries and they hold up fairly well in regards to charge time.
