Product Information
Full details
The Festool SYS-MC 6/4 is a professional-grade, multi-bay charging station designed for contractors and woodworkers who rely on multiple cordless power tools throughout the day. By enabling the simultaneous, parallel charging of four batteries from a single outlet, it significantly reduces downtime and improves workflow efficiency on busy job sites or in compact workshops. While its integrated Systainer design offers unmatched organization and transportability, users should note that it is incompatible with legacy CXS/TXS or Ergo battery packs, making it best suited for those already invested in the standard Festool 10.8V to 18V battery ecosystem.
