Why choose Hitachi / HiKOKI batteries and chargers
Hitachi – now known under the brand name HiKOKI – has been known for years for solid, powerful tools for both professional and intensive private use. Many users still use 14.4V tools that function perfectly. That is why we at Accu-Machine.nl offer a complete range of replacement batteries and chargers for 14.4V Hitachi/HiKOKI tools, based on both NiMH and Li-ion technology. Where Hitachi started with NiMH batteries, many later models were supplied with Li-ion packs, such as the BCL1430, BSL1415, BSL1430 and BSL1450. These sliding batteries are used in popular drills, impact wrenches and saws. Chargers such as UC18YG, UC18YRL or UC14YFA are suitable for charging these batteries, depending on the type and generation. Our replacement batteries are compatible with original chargers as long as the battery technology matches. All products are CE certified and tested for safe operation with Hitachi/HiKOKI tools. This extends the life of your tools without compromising safety or performance.

Battery chargers and capacity: what suits your working method?
The right battery charger makes a big difference in ease of use and battery life. For 14.4V Hitachi/HiKOKI batteries there are several options: For NiMH batteries: use an original or compatible charger such as the UC14YFA, designed for the older cell type. For Li-ion batteries: choose a charger such as the UC18YRL or an equivalent CE-tested replacement with charge monitoring and fault detection. Fast chargers can fully charge a 3.0Ah battery in ±45 minutes, which is ideal for intensive users. For occasional use, a standard charger with trickle function is sufficient. In all cases, the right charger prevents overcharging, overheating and loss of performance. Our chargers are equipped with protections and work perfectly with our replacement batteries, provided you select the correct battery type.
