RIDGID NEW SMALLER 18 VOLT BATTERY CHARGERThis 18-volt charger works with all of the 18-volt batteries in the Ridgid line, including the Octane Batteries. This charger will actually fit in your tool box. The previous chargers were so large they took up the space of another tool or additional bits you could have brought along. This charger is small enough to leave you that all important space in your tool box. This charger still does actually reset any bluetooth adjustment you may have set to your Octane Batteries. From what I have seen it does not matter if you using the 3-amp hour or 9-amp hour battery the charge time is about the same. As you can see in the picture below this charger still has indicator lights that verify the batteries current charge state matching the batteries charge condition. Its smaller size makes it a charger that can stay in your carry tool box to be ready for any trip or jobsite you may find yourself on.

Charges slowly. The ac cord is very small and fragile with a huge plug on the end. Makes it difficult to plug into outlet strip with other chargers. The plug is so big that it blocks part of the outlets on either side of it

RIDGID 18-VOLT LITHIUM-ION CHARGERIt is a nice compact charger. I do not have any problems with it at all. I like the slim-line light-weight . It fits in my large cargo pocket to and from work sites. Also, it is a fast charging unit for the recharged battery to be charged. It comes with plug in for the outlet, then put the recharged battery to be charged. It does not include battery.

I’m a relative newcomer to Rigid power tools, I had been using a “yellow” brand previously, and found Rigid when I had to replace a battery and discovered the cost of a replacement battery was the same price as a Rigid battery AND a tool!Now that I have several Rigid tools, I wanted to get a couple more batteries. The Rigid warranty protects you with replacement batteries, FYI. Now I needed a spare charger too.This is a small, compact charger, it does the job. It is not a quick charger though, so don’t be confused when your batteries doesn’t charge fully in a few minutes.It’s easy to mount, it’s light and it can easily fit in a tool bag just in case.

Ridgid’s new charger is definitely smaller than the older vintage which I have used for years. It also has some different characteristics that I was a bit surprised at. I have a Ridgid NiCd battery pack that just recently went bad. For some reason which I haven’t taken the time to figure out, it will only charge to ~10V. My old changer tries to charge it, and it takes roughly 5-10 minutes before it gives up and flashes the “Bad Battery” code. The new one, from all appearances, won’t even try to charge it. It just keeps the steady ‘on’ LED on, with no flashing or any other indication that it was attempting to charge it or test it. It makes me wonder if I completely discharged another pack if it would refuse to charge once the voltage got below a certain point even though the pack was OK. Except for this, it has charged my NiCd and Lithium batteries without issue. I don’t sense that it’s any faster than the old one; if it is, the difference is minimal. I do like the ability to mount the charger on a wall, although I think there would be a tendency to pull the charger loose as you removed the battery once the charge was done.I did notice that the Ridgid website does not yet recognize the code for this charger when I attempted to register it.
