Overview
The DeWalt DW9116 is a versatile, single-port pod-style battery charger engineered for rapid charging of DeWalt 7.2–18V NiCd and NiMH cordless tool batteries. Designed to charge battery packs with voltage from 7.2 up to 18 volts in about 60 minutes, the DW9116 delivers a practical charging solution for field technicians, maintenance crews, and contractors who need multiple battery packs ready for continuous operation.
Key Features
- Fully charges the battery in 1 hour or less, minimizing excess downtime
- Automatic tune-up mode conditions worn-down batteries for 4–10 hours, then converts to trickle charge to prevent overcharging
- 3-stage charging system provides maximum run-time and extends overall battery life
- Battery thermal protection system prevents charging batteries that are too hot or too cold
- Diagnostics with LED indicators display battery status: charged, charging, power line problem, replace pack, and battery too hot or too cold
- Able to charge DeWalt 7.2V–18V NiCd and NiMH batteries (except Univolt batteries), so users need only one charger for multiple cordless products
