Good morning fellas,
Anyone own this charger yet? Model 48591808. I’m considering buying a M18 Fuel Saw all, bare tool, and then piecing together the case and a charger. I know the case fits the standard multi-volt, 48591812, but judging by the pics I’ve seen online, the two chargers seem to share the same form factor.
Anyone seen both chargers side by side?

Negative. I am of no help to you….. although. … home depot has such specs as dimensions,
Regular charger sizes
Rapid charger
Not sure what’s up with that one height dimension of 12″ that’s obviously a typo, but they are different dimensions

Read the reviews on the rapid charger link, apparently it will fit just fine in the cases that came with the regular charger. Although I think they should make it standard and just do away with the slow charger

The size markings online alternate almost randomly between the product size and package size so it might just be one comes in a 12 inch box. Is that charger not standard with their newer tools? That’s just bs if they’re still packaging new tools with a slow charger.

Most combos still are shipping with the slow charger but I want to say some one key combos have the rapid

I know the guys in the main shop have several of both and one of the farm managers has one of the fast chargers. I just saw it the other day and want to say it is the same base dimensions but not as tall. I would assume they would want the mounting points to stay the same so they will still screw into the mounting holes in their toolboxes.
Thanks gang, knew I could on you’s! Haven’t seen any kits that ship with the rapid charger yet.

Yeah, stupid if they don’t…
Just FYI if you have an M18 battery and want to know if it takes full advantage of the rapid charger look on the top for a lighting bolt near the connector. If it has one it will charge at a faster pace than if not:

I was pretty annoyed when my One-Key kit came with the old charger.

I would be too, call Milwaukee and complain you pay 500 dollars for a premium tool kit and you can’t have a premium charger to charge your premium batteries?
No shiit. I agree.
Yes, it is ridiculous. Especially since promo pics seemed to have the rapid from what I recall, I was surprised to see standard chargers listed in content lists.
Just checked I have them on mine but that thing is so faint in there I never would have noticed it without this thread lol.

I just sent them a rather wordy message detailing my disappointment with both the One Key “feature” and the lack of a top tier charger to go with their top tier tools, especially at $500.
Good dude, hopefully something happens, if that doesn’t work try social media, some people have had success with that route as well
Does anyone know if the rapid charger will fit sideways in the Ridgid 22.in pro organizer toolbox?
I’ve heard that the charger is abit smaler then the orginal to fit sideways in the HD box, so if it fits in the ridgid then i will buy it, or else i don’t rly like to charge batteries to fast.

Yeah and again, that 12″ must be a typo…..
Nice! Not a big enough jump in speed for me to drop any coin on yet.
From what it looks like on the CPO Milwaukee site, the new one-key combo kits come with the fast charger.
I just looked at the hammerdrill impact driver M18 Fuel kit and it appears to me that it still has the standard multi-volt charger, not the rapid charger.
48-59-1812 is the standard charger, 48-59-1808 is the rapid charger
The link you posted isn’t for a one key kit.
Oops, you’re right Bmill25. However, your link also shows the standard charger.
The only tool I’ve had come so far with the rapid charger is my Super Hawg. It’s what I keep in the truck, as it’s noticeably quicker. I believe Milwaukee states that it’s 40% faster than the standard one with the batteries that have the bolt, and 30% with ones that don’t. I also have the 6-bay Rapid Charge Station, and have a ton of batteries, so normally just charge in that at home maybe once a week.
Just get this one.
FWIW the one key kits do NOT come with the rapid charger. I even sent Milwaukee a message via FB which they never responded to. I wouldn’t care that they didn’t include the rapid charger EXCEPT in the photos on Milwaukee’s own website, they show the rapid charger as being included!! Though in fairness, the part number they give is for the standard charger. Still, they should have their sh together.

Agreed on both of these
