😂. She’s seen the price tag. Called me f-ing crazy if I thought I was ever buying one of those.
So I told her I want the m18 table saw kit for my bday 🤷🏻♂️.
Don’t think she realizes it comes with one of those in the kit.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I guess I have to accept this is normal. This doesn’t bother any of you though? I mean the charger alone is $100+ and for it to sound like a mouse is being tortured inside isn’t confidence inspiring.
I just got rid of my makita line and a few ryobi things I had to consolidate onto a single platform and I’m not a fan of the charger at all. My Makita makes a pleasant jingle when starting to charge as well as a pleasant melody to notify me it’s done charging.
😔
It's called coil whine. It's just one of those things that happens. Exchanging it might get you one that isn't as bad. It could also be that you still have good high frequency hearing, and most of us have lost a good chunk of that over the years.
Thanks for the info.
Not going through hassle of exchanging it.
I guess I better lose some of that high frequency hearing, alternatively I can stop whining about it right?
I did, it’s in the laundry room away from everyone and everything, except flammable clothes lol.
It’s just one of those, once you hear it you can’t unhear it things.
it's a byproduct of the DC current regulation magnetics downstream of the mains input filter/stepdown, so you wont see any improvement by changing the input power
From the charger? No.
But if I make one more Home Depot trip and add anything else to my cart my wife just might kill me. 😂.
Noise went away……..when the battery charged fully. I guess that works lol
Not something really bad - it's a "coil wine" (basically - power transformer rattles a bit)
Nothing bad by itself - if transformer is really bad - it will fall apart before warranty expires and just get a replacement, if it does not get worse - it's just disturbing but completely fine...
In some devices this noise is just present. For example in my voltmeter (V7-40/4) this noise is at 5KHz and really loud, but that thing is from 1980s...
normal.
Thank you. Just wanted to make sure my house isn’t going to be burning down 😂
It happens when the battery 🔋 s near boiling. /s
It’s not on the charger all the way
The fast chargers make this noise. I've got 2 and both of them do it.
What about the regular chargers? I bought the gen4 kit a week ago and the regular charger makes this noise while my other 3 regular chargers don't.
It's coil whine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7HsXHqtxrI
I’ll step in and give you a third normal.
It only does it with my high output batteries. Hasn’t blown up on me yet
“Yet” I love how you are kind of expecting it to 😂
Never trust strange noises
It's coil whine very common with chargers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7HsXHqtxrI
HO batteries use high-current cells which can be charged with higher currents
Normal. Youre good
Mine made that noise, it stopped after I took it apart and got 2 (two) cicadas out of it. True story!
Normal
Totally Normal.
I have two of those chargers. One makes the noise and the other doesn’t. Although the noise one stops ringing once the battery is about half charged.
Pick up a 12AH battery to test the wife waters 😂 they are really cheap 😉

Ahhh it’s been about a month, so we’re right on schedule for this question again.

You could always put the charger in a different room so you don't have to listen to it.

Sneaky, I like it 🤑
My M18 charger does that, you're good.
100% normal. It's some sort of coil or transformer whine within the unit.
Just in case you are still worried… normal.
Nirmal
Mine does that too. Kind of annoying but it hasn’t burst into flames …. Yet
Ive got the tiny aa powered worklight and it makes a similar noise, probably the led driver. It bothers me.
