    Hello. I have a damaged charger as in the topic. The R91 resistor and the D14 diode were burned out. After replacing them, the charger still does not work. I think that IC1 is still to be replaced. Unfortunately, I do not know what layout it is, it writes 1D12308 on it. By typing it in google nothing pops up. Please let me know what layout it is.

    I am just repairing such a charger. In addition to the R91 2R4, D14 zenerka 30V, I also had the Q3 KF2N60 transistor and the R29 2R2 resistor. So far I have ordered parts, let's see if it helps. IC1 is from the main converter and damaged components belong to the auxiliary converter.

    After replacing the damaged elements, the converter started, but instead of the expected 12V, I got only 1.95V at the output. After a long fight, it turned out that the culprit is the SMD C17 6.8nF capacitor. After replacement, 12.4V appeared at the inverter's output, the charger is working properly :D

    PS. If I need someone, I have a handwritten diagram of this converter.

    So before you close a topic, it would be advisable to include it here.

    Hello, I also have a Makita DC 18RC S double charger. One side is working properly, ie it is charging the battery, while the other side is not charging. After unscrewing the charger, I found that the F101 T4AH AC 250V fuse was blown. After inserting a new one, this one is also burned, which means there must be a short circuit somewhere. I will put a few photos of my charger here, maybe someone will say visually why it is not charging.

    Mircio82 you should check the rectifier bridge (diodes), the Mos-fet transistor and the auxiliary converter circuit for a drain-source short circuit. Items marked in the photo.
    magnum1978 both sides not working? Fuse as for Mircio82 working? High voltage after bridge rectifier present? Makita DC18RC Charger Repair: Identify IC1 (1D12308), R91 Resistor & D14 Diode Replacement

    Hello Mario814, thanks for the advice, what I can check only in the problem that I do not know how to do it, I only have the simplest electrical meter at home. It's nice if you write step by step how to check the elements you indicated. Regards

    Mario, I checked the transistor and bridge today, but I don't know how to check the third element. There is little information on the Internet on how to do this. Maybe it will help, but I did not write that the fuse burns without the battery attached.

    Hope you checked these items well. The Mosfet bridge and transistor is best checked by setting the meter to measure the diode. In the bridge we connect the positive end of the meter to the "-" bridge, and the negative end to one and then the other "~" terminal. The output should be about 0.45 - 0.6 V. Then the meter minus to the "+" bridge, and the meter plus to one and then to the other "~" terminal of the bridge. It should work out similarly. Also check that there is no short circuit between the "+" and "-" jumper and the "~" and "~" terminals. The transistor is checked for a short circuit between the drain and the source. Connect the meter plus to the "S" source, and the meter minus to the "D" drain (at the Mosfet transistor with N channel). The output should be about 0.3 - 0.5 V. To be sure, you can check the transistor's Datasheet to see if it has a diode between the drain and the source. There should definitely not be a short circuit there. As for the third element, find a Datasheet for it and identify which pins have the drain and the source of the transistor keying the converter and measure as above. Picture with an example bridge and Mosfet transistor. Good luck.

    Gentlemen.
    The author of the topic, founded: 12 Sep 2017 15:24 and is still "silent".
    Are we not violating the electrode regulations? :cry:

    Regards.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the repair of a Makita DC18RC charger, specifically addressing the replacement of damaged components including the R91 resistor, D14 diode, and the IC1 integrated circuit marked as 1D12308. Users share their experiences with similar repairs, noting that additional components such as the Q3 transistor and C17 capacitor may also be faulty. Suggestions include checking all semiconductors and components systematically due to the prevalence of low-quality parts in chargers. A hand-drawn diagram of the auxiliary converter is provided for reference, and troubleshooting advice is shared, including methods for diagnosing short circuits and testing components with a multimeter.

FAQ

TL;DR: Fixing a Makita DC18RC often means replacing a failed 6.8 nF C17 that drags the 12 V rail to ~1.95 V; after swap, “the charger is working properly,” with 12.4 V measured. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18217570]

Why it matters:** This FAQ helps DIYers quickly identify IC1, confirm parts like R91/D14, and restore auxiliary power safely on Makita DC18RC chargers.

Quick-Facts

Quick Facts

What is IC1 (marked 1D12308) in the Makita DC18RC?

IC1 is the controller for the main converter. The commonly failed parts listed (R91, D14, Q3, R29) belong to the auxiliary converter, not IC1. If aux is down, IC1 may still be fine. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18195727]

Which values do R91, D14, R29, and Q3 use?

Reported field replacements: R91 = 2.4 Ω, D14 = 30 V zener, R29 = 2.2 Ω, and Q3 = KF2N60 MOSFET. Verify your board revision before ordering. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18195727]

Why do I measure ~2 V instead of 12 V on the auxiliary output?

A leaky or open C17 (6.8 nF) can pull the aux rail down to ~1.95 V. Replacing C17 restored 12.4 V and normal charging. “The charger is working properly.” [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18217570]

Do you have a circuit reference for the auxiliary converter?

Yes. A hand‑drawn schematic of the DC18RC auxiliary converter was shared for troubleshooting and part tracing. Use it to locate R91, D14, C17, and Q3. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18319012]

How do I check the rectifier bridge and MOSFET with a basic multimeter?

Use diode‑mode. Bridge: +probe to “−” then to each “~” should read ~0.45–0.6 V; −probe to “+” then each “~” similar. MOSFET: +probe to Source, −probe to Drain on N‑channel should read ~0.3–0.5 V (body diode). No hard short allowed. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18621772]

My T4AH fuse blows instantly, even with no battery. What should I check first?

Check the rectifier bridge, the main MOSFET, and the auxiliary converter’s switching device for a Drain–Source short. Isolate the faulty block before replacing parts. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18610920]

What’s a safe way to hunt shorts without wasting fuses?

Insert a 230 V, 40–60 W incandescent bulb in place of the fuse. Power on; full brightness indicates a short. Always disconnect mains and discharge primary capacitors between changes. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18622337]

What value is capacitor C17 on the DC18RC board?

C17 is 6.8 nF (SMD). Failure of this part has been linked to a low aux output (~1.95 V). Replace with a quality part rated appropriately. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18217570]

What package is IC1 in?

IC1 was identified as an S08 (SOIC‑8) package on inspected boards. Match pinout and orientation during replacement. [Elektroda, andsab, post #16695259]

Both bays on my Makita dual charger look fine visually. Where do I start?

Begin with the input path: verify the fuse, bridge‑rectified high voltage, and then test the MOSFET and aux converter for shorts as guided. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18610920]

What is the “auxiliary converter” in this charger?

It’s the small SMPS that generates the ~12 V housekeeping rail. Failures here (R91, D14, C17, Q3) prevent the main converter, driven by IC1, from starting. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18195727]

How do I test the bridge and MOSFET in three quick steps?

  1. Bridge: In diode‑mode, check ~0.45–0.6 V from “−” to each “~”, then from each “~” to “+”.
  2. MOSFET: Measure ~0.3–0.5 V S→D; reject if short.
  3. Confirm no shorts between bridge “+”/“−” and between “~” pins. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18621772]

Could replacing R91 and D14 still leave the charger dead?

Yes. Cases show R91 and D14 were not the only faults; Q3 and R29 also failed, and a bad C17 kept output at ~1.95 V until replaced. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18195727]

Any edge cases I should know before powering up?

A hidden short can blow a fresh fuse immediately. Use the series‑bulb method and always discharge primary capacitors before touching the board. Safety first. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18622337]

What’s a practical success metric after repair?

Measure ~12.4 V on the aux rail at the inverter output before loading. Charging should resume normally once this rail is stable. [Elektroda, Mario 814, post #18217570]
