The decision for landscapers to switch out their outdoor power equipment from gas to cordless electric just got a bit easier thanks to the new 40V MAX 6-Pack Charging Station from DeWalt, which has been specifically made for DeWalt's line of cordless outdoor power equipment.

Milwaukee has multi-bay chargers for their M18 batteries and they just recently came out with a new multi-bay charger that handles both M18 and M12 Milwaukee batteries. Coming this March, Milwaukee Tool will be releasing a new Four Bay Sequential Charger (48-59-1204) for their M12 lithium-ion batteries.

Sometimes charging multiple batteries can be a real pain in the butt, especially if you have both 18V and 12V batteries that need charging. Milwaukee’s new (48-59-1807) M18 & M12 Rapid Charge Station not only promises to charge your batteries 40% faster, but it can charge up to three batteries at once.

A while back Milwaukee sent out their 18-volt Jobsite Radio/Charger (2792-20) for me to try out, and I was more than happy to put it to the test. I could write an review telling you all about the Milwaukee jobsite radio and all of the cool features that Milwaukee included, but instead I decided to just show you, with a video.

During the STAFDA trade show, Makita showcased their new DC18RD 18V Lithium-Ion Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. What really makes this charger special is its ability to charge both batteries simultaneously. If that was not enough, it can also charge your USB devices thanks to its built-in USB port.

DeWalt is introducing their next generation of batteries to work with their 12V and 20V MAX tool lines. The new EXTREME RUNTIME (XR) batteries offer a 2.0Ah capacity (DCB127) for 12V MAX and 5.0Ah capacity (DCB205) for their 20V MAX tools. Along with the new batteries is a new dual-port charger that can charge both batteries as well as a couple of USB devices.

I am happy to announce that Tool-Rank has teamed up with Milwaukee Tool to kick off the New Year with giveaway of their soon-to-be-released M18 Jobsite Radio/Charger (2792-20). That's right folks; you can win this radio before it is even available in stores.

Milwaukee has announced what they are calling “the most advanced radio of its kind”, and from the list of features the (2792-20) M18 Jobsite Radio/Charger has, it would be hard to argue with them.

If you are tired of having to watch your charger to know when it is time to put in the next battery, Makita has a new charger for you. Over the long holiday weekend Makita announced their new 18V Lithium-ion Rapid Optimum 4-Port charger. The new model DC18SF also happens to be Energy Star rated for efficiency.

April fool's day is just around the corner, but DeWalt was not joking when they announced that their Model: DCR015 12V MAX/20V MAX Combination Radio/Charger will be available starting on April 1st.*
