You could test internal resistance of the cells after many charge cycles. I would presume that the battery, that would be charged with the fast/rapid charger, would have higher internal resistance.
Excellent demonstration James,nice to see your twin brother helping out, when i worked on the farm i was always told not to quick charge batteries but the batteries are all made different now.
Right out of milwaukees manual The charger will keep the battery pack fully charged if it is left on the charger. The light indicator will flash green during this maintenance charging.
They also have a SUPER charger for the new high output packs with 21700 cells that's way faster than the rapid. It is the only Milwaukee charger that has a built in cooling fan. While I don't have one of those, I do have the standard and rapid chargers. If you find yourself needing faster charging, it is well worth it. When I'm not in a time crunch, I use the standard charger for the reasons he mentioned. Heat has always been the enemy of batteries. Maybe not as bad with Li-Ion, but they are expensive, so I prefer not to find out the hard way.
Hopefully see Hayes at Devon county show! We’re looking at buying a few MSA 300 I’d be up for only slow charging a battery and only fast charging a battery
i think its not a myth slow charging gives longevity i believe i use the fast charger alot on ego and one of the batterys have stopped charging so i believe every now and then to slow charge microwave your meals all the time not so much flavour

6A charger on power tools is the bare minimum acceptable. If a tool company uses anything less, let alone makes anything with a brushed motor then obviously it's complete garbage. 21700 cells feel to big and heavy 5s 2p 18650 2.5ah 10c (5AH) feels best to me becaue the current draw compared with 5s 1p 21700 has half the current capability my high power tools just eat them alive. You could have calculated how long each battery would take to charge by looking at the amps on the charger. 6AH battery using 6A charger = 60 minute charge.... pretty basic maths Einstein
You can do all the calculations based on what's printed on things all you want. Reality is often much different than what's printed. Also these don't take heat losses into consideration, so, say you put a battery on a 10amp charge. It will never actually accept the full 10amps. I'm pretty sure you know this. It's pretty basic stuff, Tesla. Haha! What can I say? It was low hanging fruit. It's fine if you prefer calculated theoretical solutions. But I think you'll find yourself in the minority with that preference. It's just not as much fun to watch as a timer and blinking LEDs. Haha!
@@mikemorgan5015 Ha Ha Mike! Nice retort there mate! This Henry Phillips, what a sod! Me thinks he has been reading up on batteries and stuff from a cereal box? 😂 Peace and cheers 👍

Very interesting, any ideas how we could do it in a quicker time?
a great video explaining the differences. Thank you, James. Cheers!
Thank you for your support Garrett, glad you like the video 🤩
Interesting video. You answered what I was thinking, clever man! Norman needs his own segment in every video😁😁
Excellent demonstration James,nice to see your twin brother helping out, when i worked on the farm i was always told not to quick charge batteries but the batteries are all made different now.
Thank you Nev, Norman has wanted to be in a video for a while 😂😂
Right out of milwaukees manual

Excellent video often wonder if the Milwaukee rapid charger was worth it maybe it is another to add to the shopping list 👌
Awesome, I’m glad you found it useful. Thank you Jacob 😎

Nice One Norman & James Thanks again
What about the Milwaukee super charger
Not many people have them as they don’t come in the kits but it would be interesting to do a test with one you’re right 🤩
The Stihl AL100 is worthless I have one is a waist of money, I have one.
The AL500 yes is very good I have one also.
Great video!
Thank you Large 👍🏼
I'd be curious to compare the EGO Rapid to the Turbo. In theory, it's even faster.
The Ego charge times were on point with what Ego say in their book so I would tend to agree with what they quote on there 👍🏼
interseting always wanted to know the differnce
Glad you liked it 🤩
Norman is the much better looking of the Hayes boys.
And I must say the batteries aren’t the only things juiced up in the video. 🤣👍🏼🤣
100% John he is certain the star in this video 👍🏼😂
Keep’m coming guys, they are hilarious!! 👍🏼🤣❤️
So the Stihl 500 charger was the quickest?
Yeah 👍🏼
That Norman fella he don't get out much does he ? Hope you bring him back ?
Haha, not a lot Bill. He is back in another video next week 😂😂
Hayes has got a very good pen! and that is not a joke.
I have no idea what you mean 😂😂
Hopefully see Hayes at Devon county show! We’re looking at buying a few MSA 300 I’d be up for only slow charging a battery and only fast charging a battery
Awesome review looks like I’ve gotta get me self a Milwaukee rapid charger 🙄
Indeed 😂🤩
My Milwaukee RapidCharger stops blinking when the battery is fully charged to signalize it being done🤔
My standard EGO charger has never been plugged in - I've only ever used the fast charger.
Wicked review looks like I’ve gotta get my self a Milwaukee rapid charger 🙄
Yes 🤩🤩
Ohhhh aarrrrr I love dem five amphoourr baaattrrriieess boyo 😂
Haha Thanks Joshua, I will let Norman know 😂😂

Composition: Jesse James Dupree
I was born in the backwoods
Of a two-bit nowhere town
Fathered up some rock 'n' roll (baby)
So your mothers could boogie down
I ain't whistling Dixie
No I'm a rebel with a groove
All around the world the go 'round and 'round
When they dig on my new stainless steel sound hell, yeah
I'm said a lumberjack oh, baby
And I'm gonna cut you down to size
I'm a lumberjack now baby
And you're the one you're the one that gets my prize
When you hear my motor running
You know I surely be coppin' a rise
Oh! So I'm gonna crank it up down the alley and jack it
Woo
I'm a lumberjack now baby
I'm a lumberjack now baby
I'm a lumberjack now baby
Ohh I'm a lumberjack now baby
But I ain't jacked my lumber baby
Since my chainsaw you
Whether you like it or whether you don't woo
That's the way we like it
Your twin sounds a laff james should let him play out alot more lol 😂
Norm needs to practice his West Country accent a bit more !!
Considering he is Devon born and breed he has a bit of a Bristol accent 😂
guess you've not seen the Husqvarna QC500 🤣
Yeah we are every familiar with this charger. why is that Jon?
