## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this charge copy makita batteries**
A: There are so many different copy batteries out there - you would never be able to guarantee that any, or all, of them would work off genuine chargers, as heaven only knows how the fakes are made and out of what. Copy batteries often do not have the required or stated power so will damage your tools, and they often use illegal and unsafe chemicals that pose a very real hazard. From my experience, if you want a half price imitation battery that will work for 3 cycles before setting fire to your charger and work bench - then good luck to you.

**Q: Does it charge battery for a DSS611 saw**
A: Looking at the saw it appears to have the standard Makita 18v lithium battery and if that's the case this charger should be absolutely fine.

**Q: Hi ive ordered 2 of these could i cancel this order**
A: Just return one. Amazon are pretty good with returns etc

**Q: Does it play a tune when charged**
A: Yep, and you can change it, from memory I think there may be 3 or 4 tunes to pick from.
