Questions & Answers
Is it possible to charge a 5 hour battery and a 20 hour battery at the same time?
Yes, but the larger batteries will require more time to recharge.
Yes, DeWalt makes a charger called the DCB119 that can charge all DEWALT® 12V - 18V tools. Lithium-ion battery with a maximum voltage of 20 volts* Ion batteries, which are sold separately, can be charged from a vehicle's power outlet, allowing them to be charged while driving to work or on a jobsite. Battery DCB201 or DCB203 could be used for the heated gear by your husband.
Is it possible to wall mount this dual unit, and if so, do you have the necessary holes? I see Manufacture responded with a YES, but the following four posts all said NO.

For some reason, this thing is *huge*. It's at least four times the size of a single charger, which presents a significant challenge for someone like me who needs to store it on a garage shelf.
So, this is the second time I've done something like this. I got lost at first. The left battery port on this one is no longer functional. Many people have reported having the same problem with another item (the battery combo that comes with this charger). Several of them have attempted warranty returns, which Dewalt has refused to accept. I wouldn not try a warranty return either way, but I trust their experience 100%, especially since my charger has the same problem. On all other reviews, the left side is always used. In any case, I can't support a product if the company that created it refuses to support it. Bad news. This one should be avoided at all costs! br>I guess I'll go with a generic next time.
This is a pretty cool charger. It charges quickly, and I only buy namebrands. I don't want a fire in my house when I'm not home, so I pay good money for the good stuff. Sure, there are cheaper knock offs, but for $50 less I don't want a fire. I want a UL listed product that is built for Dewalt and designed for Dewalt original batteries. I was duped by an aftermarket battery on the internet, and I'll never buy a cheap battery again; I'll always buy namebrand batteries. I'm not in need of a fire. I've had good luck with Dwalt/Milwaukee, despite the fact that they're overpriced. Your Chinese knock-off batteries are yours to keep. As well as a charger. For a hundred dollars, I like this charger. It's pricey, but it's less expensive than fire.
After 6 weeks, one side of the device has stopped charging and is now only blinking. Amazon has now closed the window for returning or replacing my item. I purchased a defective product from Amazon, and the only option I had was to deal with Dewalt, which I am doing now. I've been helped by a wonderful man, and I'm about to get my replacement. Dewalt is a great company to work with because they stand behind their customers.
It does, however, work. It performs admirably. It lacks the DCB115's wall hanging holes/slots, which is a disappointment. I specifically purchased this because DeWalt claimed it did in the Q&A. On this list, there is an A. No, it doesn't. It also makes a high-pitched squeal sound. br>br> It's not particularly loud, but if you're working nearby while a battery or two is charging, it's very noticeable and annoying to listen to. None of my other chargers have ever made a noise like that.
If you're having trouble with it, don't just put the battery in. Pull it all the way down until it clicks into place. The non-dual was the same way; I didn't realize it for a long time and had non-fully charged batteries until I started doing this.
Because the markings are a little hazy, here's an important note: The 60V flex volt batteries are charged by this method. I have two 6ah 60V flexvolt batteries, and this fully charges both of them. It also charges them quickly, and if you have two batteries, I would recommend this charger over the single battery fast charger. It isn't that slow, as long as you aren't wasting time waiting for the battery to charge.
I've had it for a couple of months and have had no problems with it. It is used five days a week, on a daily basis. It simultaneously charges two batteries as well as other USB-connected tools; the ports aren't fast charging, but I charge my tools overnight, so this isn't an issue for me. It's a little bulky, but it's a lot more compact than a drawer full of different batteries and USB chargers.
