Wall mount for the Makita DC18RC battery charger

In most workshops, the battery charger is the device without a fixed place. It sits on the workbench exactly where you want to saw, disappears under a cloth, or lies on the floor with the battery half out. This wall mount gives the Makita DC18RC its own place on the wall, at eye level, with the battery within reach.

How it is held

The charger rests with its back against the plate and is held at two points: a lip that drops over the top edge and a ledge for the bottom to rest on. That is all it needs; you slide the charger in from the top and it stays put. Nothing changes on the charger itself, so you can just as easily take it out again to take it with you.

The front stays completely clear: the indicator panel can be read, you slide the battery in and out as usual, and the cable runs away underneath.

Mounting

The back plate has four countersunk screw holes, so the screw heads sit flush and the charger can rest flat against it. Hold the mount in place, mark the four holes, pre-drill and screw it in place. Hang it high enough to slide the battery in comfortably, with room left under the charger for the cable.

Screws are not included. Which ones you need depends on your wall: wood, brick, plasterboard or a metal cabinet each need something different. We do not know where you will hang it, so we would rather supply nothing than the wrong thing.

Will this fit my charger?

This mount is made for the Makita DC18RC, the fast charger for 14.4 and 18 volt batteries. The shape follows the housing of exactly that model. If you have a different charger, even another Makita, it will not fit: those have a different outer shape.

MODUXO is not part of Makita and this is not an original accessory. We only name the model so you know what the mount fits.

How it is made

We make the mount in the Netherlands. Whatever is in stock when you order goes straight in the post; if not, we make it for you and there is production time involved. Which of the two applies is shown on this page when you order.

Four countersunk screw holes in the back plate. The charger clicks in between the lip at the top and the ledge at the bottom; nothing on the charger itself needs to be changed.

Printed in PLA. It holds its shape well and gives a clean finish. A battery charger gets warm while charging, and PLA softens at around 55 to 60 °C. So don't mount the holder against a radiator or other heat source or in full sun, and keep the charger's ventilation openings clear so it can get rid of its heat.
