FAQs
Does this charger work with older Ni-Cd JCB batteries?
No, the JCB-18FC-9 is specifically engineered for JCB 18V Lithium-Ion battery packs only.
How long does it take to charge a 5.0Ah battery?
While exact times vary based on the battery's state of discharge, the 9.0A output is designed to be significantly faster than standard chargers provided with entry-level kits.
Can I leave the battery on the charger after it is full?
The charger features over-charge protection, but it is best practice to remove the battery once the LED indicates a full charge to preserve long-term health.
Is this charger safe to use in a garage?
Yes, it is built with rugged construction for trade environments, but ensure it is kept away from direct moisture, extreme heat, or freezing temperatures.
What does the 2-year warranty cover?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal professional use. Contact JCB customer support for specific claim procedures.
Can I use this charger with an extension lead?
Yes, provided the extension lead is rated for the power draw and is in good condition to prevent voltage drops.
Troubleshooting

Verify the wall outlet has power and the charger plug is pushed in fully. Check that the battery is seated firmly on the charging rails.

Ensure the ventilation slots on the side of the charger are not obstructed by tools or debris. Operate in a well-ventilated area.
