I bought one and two 3 amp batteries from amazon. **Q: Does this charge all 4 batteries at once or does it charge one at a time?** A: I did some experimentation with the number of batteries that are changed. This will change 2 batteries at a time and once complete go to the next one/two. The right side is a pair and the left side is a pair. You can charge only one battery at a time on the two left chargers and only one batter at a time on the right two charges. The first battery inserted starts receiving the charge and will continue until full/complete. Once complete the other (if there is one) on the mated left or right pairing will begin charging. There does not seem to be any impact if you start with the inner or outer charging port of the mated pair (left or right pair). Putting just two batteries on the left mated pair or the right mated pair results in only one battery being charged even with only two batteries on the DC18SF. To charge two batteries at the same time keep them on the two different mated pairs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***3 on February 16, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on March 21, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on March 15, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita DC18RC 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Rapid Optimum Charger - CHAUNVEN 3000mAh 18V Battery Replacement for Makita 18V Battery Compatible with 18 Volt BL1830B BL1840B BL1850B BL1860B BL1815B Battery (2 Packs) - HILIPE Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner for Makita 18V Battery, EasyClean Wet Dry Use,Wireless Handheld Vacuum for Car,Home, Boat,Workshop, Pet Hair, Furniture Cleaning (Tool Only No Battery) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1835275-makita-dc18rc-18v-lxt-lithium-ion-rapid-optimum-charger](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1835275-makita-dc18rc-18v-lxt-lithium-ion-rapid-optimum-charger) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
