Its powerful 16A charging current delivers exceptionally fast charging, while the intelligent AIRSTREAM system actively cools compatible battery packs before and during the charging process. This controlled cooling allows heated battery packs to accept the maximum possible charging power sooner after demanding work. The charger is suitable for compatible Festool battery packs in the 10.8V, 14.4V and 18V voltage classes, excluding BP-XS battery packs used with the CXS and TXS system. A clear LED display provides information on charging status and remaining charging time, while the integrated cord holder and wall-mounting provision help maintain an organised workshop or site charging area.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eRapid charging with intelligent temperature management\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eAIRSTREAM technology directs cooling air through compatible battery packs before and during charging.
