As noted in the comments and i believe the descriptor to this video there are 2 peices of mis-information here: 1. the DCB107 charges at 1.25 amps and the DCB115 at 4amps, thus the 115 is capable of much reduced charge time across all battery capacities that it is compatible with and is the superior charger. 2. The XR stands for eXtended Runtime on dewalt tools and is more of an advertising thing than anything, it denotes a more premium tool line. Brushless versions simply say "Brushless" on them

Hello Jay. Gave it a like. There seems to be some confusion amongst tool users regarding the XR designation. It simply means ‘ extended runtime,’ nothing else. It is associated with the more premium line of DeWalt cordless tools. I remember back in the 18 Volt days, Ha Ha, when they had the XRP line of tools, or something like that. It was their top of the line drills, etc. Enjoyed your presentation style. Pesky autofocus hunting, hard to get around that. My hats off to you on how the chargers are mounted with really good cord management! Take care, be safe and stay healthy! 👍🙏😁🇺🇸
Since I do most of my work in my shop I only have a cordless drill and impact driver... the rest are plug-in electric for all the reasons you mentioned, Jay. A very informative video... "Simplify... Simplify..." - Henry David Thoreau
I recently bought a new dewalt mid torque impact wrench for 249$ cad. It had a DCB 115 and two 5AH XR batteries, good deal. Just yesterday I bought the impact driver and hammer drill set with a 115 charger and two more 5AH batteries, now I can start adding tool only additions to my set. I’m replacing my old XRP 18 volt stuff, the batteries just don’t cut it anymore. Greetings from British Columbia

Excellent!! To the point! Informative! You certainly have a fan in this Air Force veteran! I have but one question....What the hell is a DCB112 and DCB118, then? Same as the DCB115?
Pfirsisch01, thanks for your positive comments. It's good to hear from you, and it's great to know you are a military veteran. For much of my childhood, I lived east of Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson. Over the years, I've seen U-2's, Phantom F-4's, A-10's and a lot of other types of aircraft. As for your question, the difference in these chargers is how much amperage they use to do their job of charging, with various charging speeds. The DCB112 is a 2 amp charger, the DCB115 is a 4 amp charger, and the DCB 118 is an 8 amp charger. I hope that helps! Best, DFJ
William, thanks for weighing in as well as watching our video. There is scarce information on this subject, even after scouring the DeWalt website in preparation for production of this episode, and again today. You are correct on the output levels for each of these models. As you know, these amperage outputs are imprinted right on the back of the charger units. I too took a look at the units that I have and it correlates with what you've said. Even so, the information I've been able to find on this (which again is not plentiful at all!) seems to indicate that even in spite of the differing output rates, the DCB107 does charge compatible batteries in an hour or less, and the DCB115 does the same job in 90 minutes or less. Support for this notion was found in a manufacturer response to the question of the difference between the DCB107 and 115 on Amazon: "The DEWALT DCB107 charger can charge all DEWALT 12V and 20V MAX Li-Ion batteries in 1 hour or less. The DCB115 charges the battery in 90 minutes (DCB205) or less." - STANLEY BLACK+DECKER Manufacturer · August 8, 2019 Assuming this is true, then the difference must be in the "trickle rate" that the chargers are set up to deliver. Hmmm. It's also interesting to me that you can't find the technical info readily for the DCB107 on the manufacturer website as the charger doesn't appear to be available as a stand-alone purchase, but is only included in tool kits. The DCB115 can be bought alone. Why? I can only guess. Do you have any further thoughts? Best Regards, DFJ
@@DirtFarmerJay Hello, I did see the claims of 1 hr or less and 90 minutes charging time respectively for DCB 107 and DCB115. Without specifying the capacity of the battery charged (2, 4, or 6 amps), lead me to believe these claims are of nothing but marketing language.

William, I want to give you a further update. This issue of differing amperage output rates and non-sensical charging times really got me thinking. I decided to invest the time and contact DeWalt directly and talk to one of their tech people. The bottom line is that YOU are correct. In spite of some contradictory information on DeWalt and non-Dewalt tech sites (as well as some consumer sites where techs have weighed in), the official word is that indeed the DCB115 charges compatible batteries 6.0 aH and less in 90 minutes or less. It takes the DCB107 approx. 180 minutes. DeWalt gave me permission to quote them on their statement and we will be creating an updated version of this video and directing traffic to the other video to the new edition. Don't be surprised if you get a mention on the new edition! Best Regards, DFJ
Yes. U r right.He is a total liar. He had it correct the first time. Yes, the 107 only charges at 1.25amps and the 115 charges at 4, which makes the 115 take less than half the time of the 107.
According to Dewalt datasheets DCB107 charges 1.25A, that is a 2Ah battery in 96 minutes, while DCB115 charges max 4A, that is a 2Ah battery in 30 minutes. Additionally it says DCB107 is amed for 1-3Ah batteries.

I normally would agree with you. I am not in a hurry to charge batteries. I got a DeWalt push mower with two 10ah hr batteries, and two DCB107 chargers. It takes 8hrs. to charges the batteries after use and sure enough, it does not finish the lawn, so with no other batteries, I have to wait before I can finish the lawn. I know 10ah hr batteries take longer but why don't they make a charger that will charge much faster then trickle when it gets to almost full?
Mo -Reese's Pieces (what a cool name!). We actually updated this video and noted that in the top line of the description. We didn't remove it though, because there was some unique info that wasn't in the new one. The new video can be watched at th-cam.com/video/LT6lWg44WB0/w-d-xo.html.

When you go to the other video, take a look at the description for some tech specs. The bottom line is that you need higher amperage chargers to get you back in business faster. Perhaps some loud complaints will get a better charger sent your way. Another tact is to add to your DeWalt tool line up and get kits that have the better chargers.

@@DirtFarmerJay yes thanks. I live in asia and it's 220 volt power. I just seen a few videos showing how to convert the charger to 220v with a larger volt balister and a few resistors. Cheap fix.
Mr. Jay Do the batteries, which came with the tool using the DCB 115 charger, have the ability to be plugged into the DCB 107 charging block and visa versa?
Rodrigo, yes, DeWalt makes 220V versions of their chargers. Your local in-country DeWalt dealer or online seller should have them for you. A U.S. retailer that carries these from time to time is www.toolking.com. I hope that helps! Best, DFJ
I have a Dewalt DcD 780 that is no longer working properly but i have also a Dcb 105 charger( xr li- ion ) with 3 working batteries.Can i use these batteries on a new Dewalt drill?
Kris, thanks for writing. Bad news on the DCD780 failing. As for the DCB-105 charging xr li-ion batteries, that seems to be working fine. Your challenge is using these types of battery - with the tall stem - on new tools that use the 20V or flex-volt batteries and have a different connection configuration. To do that, you could purchase some after market adapters such as these: www.amazon.com/DEWALT-18v-20v-Adapter-DCA1820/dp/B016K1UD0E/ref=asc_df_B016K1UD0E/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309813767497&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16750608220671191657&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029733&hvtargid=pla-347787544740&psc=1 What a link! I hope this helps - Best, DFJ
Kris, the more I thought about this, I think you are asking about doing this the other way around, can you use the older batteries to power the new stuff. That's a different challenge. I don't know of adapters that will do that, and I don't know if the power output is compatible with the newer tools. Said another way, the new tools are backwards-compatible with older tools, but the older tools don't appear to forward-compatible. Best, DFJ
Thanks for watching and commenting Hansby Lewis. When the battery is fully charged the light will stop blinking and stay on without blinking. Best, DFJ
be careful leaving batteries charging when not around them because a few news stories about garages catching fire directly from batteries charging.. not just dewalt ..
Good. Ideo, thank you. Does the DCB 115 have a power indicator to show that the charger is plugged in and receiving power? Not seeing one on my new charger. The lights only turn on when the battery is in the base. Is that normal? Thank you.
Nature Bites - both of the chargers shown in the video don't have a "receiving power" indicator light. DeWalt has taken the approach that plugging in a battery activates a status light pertaining to the battery that also serves as a indicator that the charging base is receiving power. Your DCB 115 is behaving as it was designed. Thanks for watching and writing! Best Regards, DFJ
Totally incorrect on charger performance. The 115 is 4amp output and the 107 is 1.25amp output. It will take the 107 about 3.2 times as long to charge a battery of any given amp vs the 115. That is why the 107 is typically shipped with the lower amp batteries.
TP, you are correct. We've put a correction notice right at the top of the video description and posted an updated video, including how the mistake was made and a follow up conversation with the techs at DeWalt. The new video can be found at th-cam.com/video/LT6lWg44WB0/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for taking time to write and for being a maker! Best, DFJ
Gracias por ver y comentar a Antonio González. Si la luz parpadea, significa que se está cargando. Si la luz está fija, significa que está completamente cargada y si la luz parpadea con una luz amarilla al lado, significa que la batería que está tratando de cargar está demasiado caliente o demasiado fría para cargarla. Espero que esto ayude. Mejor, DFJ

You should redo this video - the most important fact you reversed and then corrected yourself later in video. Just re-record the right way. The key item people want to know based off video title, which charges faster?

If not, not sure what you are referring to. Thanks for watching the video and stopping by! Best, DFJ
I had charged my v20 packs wrong. I thought the solid left red light means the pack is charging. Plus, the instructions don’t say much about whether the light stays red or change to green when pack is completely charged. I’m glad, I’ve found this vid. (🫡)

Kris, thanks for writing. Bad news on the DCD780 failing. As for the DCB-105 charging xr li-ion batteries, that seems to be working fine. Your challenge is using these types of battery - with the tall stem - on new tools that use the 20V or flex-volt batteries and have a different connection configuration. To do that, you could purchase some after market adapters such as these:
www.amazon.com/DEWALT-18v-20v-Adapter-DCA1820/dp/B016K1UD0E/ref=asc_df_B016K1UD0E/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309813767497&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16750608220671191657&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029733&hvtargid=pla-347787544740&psc=1
What a link!
I hope this helps - Best, DFJ
Kris, the more I thought about this, I think you are asking about doing this the other way around, can you use the older batteries to power the new stuff. That's a different challenge. I don't know of adapters that will do that, and I don't know if the power output is compatible with the newer tools. Said another way, the new tools are backwards-compatible with older tools, but the older tools don't appear to forward-compatible. Best, DFJ
Thanks for sharing
Hi ive just aquired two 18v xr tools with batteries but no charger, can I use any xr charger, could you recommend please?
If I understanf you question directly the recommended charger for your battery packs is the DeWalt DC9310 18v fast charger. Hope this helps. DFJ
@@DirtFarmerJay yes that helps, thanks for your reply.
How do I know when the battery is fully charge?
Thanks for watching and commenting Hansby Lewis. When the battery is fully charged the light will stop blinking and stay on without blinking. Best, DFJ
Great
Thanks
does DCB107 charge XR 5 AMP batteries or do they need a different charger?.
Yes they do require a dedicated charger for those types of batteries. Thanks for watching! DFJ
be careful leaving batteries charging when not around them because a few news stories about garages catching fire directly from batteries charging.. not just dewalt ..
Thanks for the heads up, Ed, and thanks for watching.
Helpful !! Thank you !!
Glad we could be of help! Best to you Kaikaekie, DFJ
Good. Ideo, thank you. Does the DCB 115 have a power indicator to show that the charger is plugged in and receiving power? Not seeing one on my new charger. The lights only turn on when the battery is in the base. Is that normal? Thank you.
Nature Bites - both of the chargers shown in the video don't have a "receiving power" indicator light. DeWalt has taken the approach that plugging in a battery activates a status light pertaining to the battery that also serves as a indicator that the charging base is receiving power. Your DCB 115 is behaving as it was designed. Thanks for watching and writing! Best Regards, DFJ
Muy bueno that's a cool tool😎✌️
Totally incorrect on charger performance. The 115 is 4amp output and the 107 is 1.25amp output. It will take the 107 about 3.2 times as long to charge a battery of any given amp vs the 115. That is why the 107 is typically shipped with the lower amp batteries.
TP, you are correct. We've put a correction notice right at the top of the video description and posted an updated video, including how the mistake was made and a follow up conversation with the techs at DeWalt. The new video can be found at th-cam.com/video/LT6lWg44WB0/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for taking time to write and for being a maker! Best, DFJ
Excellent! Thank you!
Daniel RD, THANKS for watching and writing. We love our viewer family. Best to you and yours, DFJ
I also have the brushless tool combo and no where does it say xr did i get ripped its 20v
No. You have a set called Atomic. XR is high-torque brushless. Yours is good, XR is just a little better.
thanks for the info
Very nice...Thanks
You are most welcome! Keep watching and writing. Best to you, DFJ
Ya, I gave up and let my son handle things.
Nancy, LOL! Hang in there. Your life experience counts for a lot! Best, DFJ
Uma pregunta yo tengo el dcb107 y no parpadea ak sedebe es nuevo y toi batayando con ese problema
Gracias por ver y comentar a Antonio González. Si la luz parpadea, significa que se está cargando. Si la luz está fija, significa que está completamente cargada y si la luz parpadea con una luz amarilla al lado, significa que la batería que está tratando de cargar está demasiado caliente o demasiado fría para cargarla. Espero que esto ayude. Mejor, DFJ
La cookaratcha
Yup I dont like the small chargers they are so slow I like my original dcb101
I think your info on the charge rate of the charges is off. 115 is more amp and faster than 107
David, you are correct. We left this up because of the other info in the episode, and did a follow on video and put a note in this video's description to direct people to the corrected video and conversation with DeWalt Support. Thanks for watching and commenting! Best Regards, DFJ
Wrong
The 115 charges at higher output than the 107
Jamey, you are correct - we've put a notation in the original video description, and have created a second video correcting the mistake. That can be seen at th-cam.com/video/LT6lWg44WB0/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for taking time to write! Best Regards, DFJ
I get a Bill Gates vibe in the way that you talk, sir.
You should redo this video - the most important fact you reversed and then corrected yourself later in video. Just re-record the right way. The key item people want to know based off video title, which charges faster?
@newtoast - thanks for weighing in. We have done just that. You can check it out at:
th-cam.com/video/LT6lWg44WB0/w-d-xo.html
We've unlisted the original video as well, and used the title of the first one for the remake. Hopefully that will help.
Best, DFJ
Thanks for being a member of our viewer family!
That piece of emt looks extra bad..
James, I trust you are referring to how close it comes to the edge of the subpanel cover on the wall? If so, I have an firewood door is that is being placed adjacent (left) of the panel and the trim will extend to the place that there is only a thin space for the emt to descend down the wall. If not, not sure what you are referring to. Thanks for watching the video and stopping by! Best, DFJ
@@DirtFarmerJay good video though sorry about that critique
Erase this video! Itcs full of wrong infos!
You talked almost 8 minutes for nothing.
Thanks for stopping by. Best, DFJ
I had charged my v20 packs wrong.
I thought the solid left red light means the pack is charging. Plus, the instructions don’t say much about whether the light stays red or change to green when pack is completely charged. I’m glad, I’ve found this vid. (🫡)
