Charge Up To Three Milwaukee Batteries Simultaneously In Only 45 Minutes
Brookfield, WI Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation introduces the industry's first Multi-Bay Charger. The model 48-59-0260 Multi-Bay Charger is designed to charge up to three Milwaukee cordless tool battery packs at the same time and offers a Top-Off Mode, which adds new life to older battery packs. And, it fast charges an 18 volt battery in as little as 45 minutes.
The Multi-Bay Charger provides faster charging solutions, enhances battery performance, reduces jobsite clutter and is the most durable and versatile charger in the industry. It has a steel handle and blow-molded base for impact protection and survives an eight-foot drop to concrete with battery packs attached. The steel handle protects the charger and battery packs from falling objects or if the charger is tipped over and the convenient cord wrap also acts as a shock absorber if the unit is tipped over or dropped. The unit is also an ideal place to store or carry batteries when not in use.
This Multi-Bay Charger accepts all Milwaukee slide-on style 12, 14.4 and 18 volt Power-Plus batteries and is generator and inverter ready. It features a nine-foot cord with a pass-through plug that allows valuable outlet space to be used for other power tools or accessories.
Multi-Bay's Top-Off Mode doesn't just "top-off" the battery cells, it re-conditions the battery pack during every charge to provide longer life and increased performance. This extends the over-all life of the battery pack, ultimately saving replacement costs. The unit also has three LED lights to display the charging status of the batteries.
The Multi-Bay Charger is designed for outdoor uses. Anti-slip feet keep the charger stable and in place on slippery and sloped surfaces and protect finished surfaces. It has terminal dust covers to protect charger terminals from contamination by dirt, wood dust/chips, paint, drywall mud and other jobsite hazards. Cooling vents are sloped downward to help prevent water and other liquids from entering the charger.
The Multi-Bay Charger is backed by a 1-year warranty. For more information on Milwaukee's Multi-Bay Charger, contact Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation, 13135 West Lisbon Road, Brookfield, WI 53005; toll free 1-800-SAW-DUST (729-3878).
