HiKOKI Power Tools launches new 4 port charger

HiKOKI Power Tools has launched its UC18YTSL 18V four port charger, which simultaneously charges the brand's 18V and 36V power tool batteries, including Multi Volt.

Rapid mode charge times register at just 20 minutes per 3.0Ah battery, 32 minutes per 5.0Ah battery and 38 minutes per 6.0Ah battery. Meanwhile, simultaneous mode charge times are 80 minutes for four 3.0Ah batteries, 128 minutes for four 5.0Ah batteries and 152 minutes for four 6.0Ah batteries.

The UC18YTSL includes two USB charging points for added convenience, so mobiles can be topped up throughout the working day too. The charger also has a three-pin outlet, meaning it can be used as an extension lead.

A high visibility charge indicator lamp is included. The charger is able to operate at low temperatures and is compatible with petrol generators, handy now that more building sites are insisting of cordless tools only. With a folding carry handle, the UC18YTSL is also easy to transport.

In November last year, HiKOKI announced the launch of an automatic Heavy Duty three year warranty on its electric and cordless tools. The move meant that HiKOKI customers no longer have to register their tools online to activate a warranty.
