Jobsite Radio Doubles as Tool Battery Charger

DEWALT has launched its new 12V MAX*/20V MAX** Charger/Radio DCR015.

DEWALT has launched its new 12V MAX*/20V MAX** Charger/Radio DCR015. Professional contractors, tradesmen and beyond will benefit from this battery charger that also is a radio on and off the jobsite. The unit provides a convenient charging solution for DEWALT’s 12V MAX* and 20V MAX** battery lines packaged in a durable, versatile radio with a full range of sound.

The charger/radio has many features, including a 360-degree roll cage, integrated battery charger, device storage box with AUX and USB ports, and two AC power outlets.

A 360 degree roll cage with shock absorbers helps to provide protection from rough jobsite conditions. The DCR015 charges 12V MAX* and 20V MAX** DEWALT battery packs while plugged into an AC power source. The radio also has the ability to run off of a 12V MAX* or 20V MAX** battery when disconnected from AC power, allowing it to run off of a rechargeable and reusable power source.

The charger/radio provides additional versatility with its integrated device storage box with AUX and USB ports. The AUX (auxiliary) port allows a user to connect a CD, MP3, Portable Satellite Receiver, and other digital audio devices to play through the radio amplifier and speakers. The USB port touts the ability to charge a USB compatible electronic device while the charger/radio is plugged into AC power. The unit includes woofers and tweeters to provide a full range of high and low sounds and an efficient class D amplifier.

To personalize this charger/radio, users will be able to enter DEWALT’s Ultimate Radio Playlist Contest 2013 on Facebook. Restrictions apply. For contest details, on April 1, 2013, visit DEWALT’s Facebook page.
