Not worth the money the charger cost it’s not that much faster.

Basic charger with short overall required times to reach a full charge from empty or just to “top off” a partially used battery. The main benefit for me is simply the two bays to charge batteries simultaneously which saves me time just based on that. Charge time overall is reduced as promised, ranging from 30 to 150 minutes per the manual depending upon the capacity of the battery used. It only took me 20 minutes to charge from a 50% level on a 9.0 Ah M18 battery. It’s a basic product but very well done.

I have lots of Milwaukee Tools and frequently use multiple Battery chargers during major projects. The Milwaukee M18 Dual Bay Rapid Battery Charger allows two batteries to be charged simultaneously, and is 3X faster than standard sequential chargers. This allows for working all day without waiting on batteries to charge. The battery charger can be mounted on a wall or placed on any horizontal surface. It also has an internal fan to cool the electronics, and communicates with the batteries to ensure they do not overheat while charging. The Milwaukee M18 Dual Bay Rapid Battery Charger is perfect for the professional that uses multiple high energy demand tools. It’s a very useful item, and comes with a 5-year warranty.

This was a better solution than buying bigger, heavier batteries. Chargers two 5 ah M18 batteries in about 30 minutes.

Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Dual Bay Rapid Battery ChargerMilwaukee came out with this charger just in time for my needs. I have changed over nearly all of my construction, building and repair needs to battery power. I have found not needing to pull out 50 foot of air hose or grabbing a correct length of heavy-duty power cord definitely makes the job easier. That does not even reference the cleanup and putting away of everything that was used to support the tools. I always seem to have a pair of batteries that need to be charged, just before I have completed a job. The recharge time being cut down by having a pair of batteries always ready for the next step or project has made the day just flow better. The pass thru power plug makes using multi-platforms at the same time even easier by not needing multiply charging locations. In my case I just carry the M12 charger plugged in the pass thru plug. This covers my Milwaukee battery needs every day.

Milwaukee makes great tools and that includes battery chargers for your hand tools. Does the charging quickly and efficiently. You can depend on them to recharge your hand tool batteries quickly and get you back on the job. You depend on your tools you can also depend on this charger also. This particular charger charges two batteries at the same time, fantastic. This one is for the big dog hand tools, 18 volt. Highly recommend.
