FAQs

Can I charge two different voltage batteries at the same time?

Yes, the charger is designed to accommodate batteries from 10.8V, 14.4V, and 18V classes simultaneously, provided they are compatible Festool packs.

What is the warranty period for the TCL 6 DUO?

The Festool TCL 6 DUO rapid charger is covered by the comprehensive Festool SERVICE, which typically includes a warranty period (refer to official Festool documentation for specifics).

How do I know when the batteries are fully charged?

Each charging slot has an independent LED display that indicates the charging progress and will show when the battery is fully charged.

Can I charge the small 10.8V batteries for the CXS/TXS drills?

No, the TCL 6 DUO charger does not support the BP-XS battery pack used with the Festool CXS/TXS 10.8 V tools.

Does this charger come with batteries?

No, this product is the charger only. Batteries are sold separately.

Is it safe to leave batteries in the charger when fully charged?

Modern lithium-ion chargers like the TCL 6 DUO have built-in protection to prevent overcharging. However, for long-term storage, it's generally recommended to remove batteries from the charger.

Troubleshooting

Battery not charging

Ensure the battery is correctly seated in the charging slot. Check that the battery is compatible with the charger (not the excluded BP-XS). Clean the battery and charger contacts. Try a different compatible battery.

LED indicators not lighting up

Verify the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the charger. If the issue persists, contact Festool service.

Charger seems slow

Ensure the ambient temperature is within the optimal range for charging. Check that the battery is not excessively hot or cold. For optimal speed, use the charger with compatible 18V batteries.
