Ridgid 18V 12A turbo charger model AC86099 – Features
Ridgid’s latest 18V charger is their fastest yet. This 12A charger is said to be able to charge Ridgid 18V batteries up to 6 times faster than the R86093 18V Charger.
This means it can charge a 12ah Max Outuput EXP battery in an hour. This means that this charger is actually faster than the mighty Makita 18V chargers which were the fastest on the market for so many years. And just like the Makita chargers, this Ridgid charger also features air cooling thanks to an internal fan to cool batteries as they charge.
Ridgid also claims that this charger is optimized for Ridgid Max Output EXP batteries. The above image lists battery charge times with several batteries and you can expect 25, 30, and 45 minutes to charge for a 2.0ah, 6ah, and 8ah respectively.
As far as other features are concerned, it has a pass-through plug. This makes another plug available for the one it just took so you can continue to plug other appliances or electronics to the receptacle.
Like all chargers, it has LED lights to let you know when it’s charging and done. It also has a Turbo Charge LED to indicate when it is charging at the max speed. It also has keyholes for wall mounting options.
And though this turbo charger is optimized for the latest Max Output EXP batteries, it is still compatible with all Ridgid 18V batteries of similar design.
