Pros & Cons

Our Verdicts
DEWALT 12V MAX/20V MAX Lithium-Ion Battery Charger, 4 Amp (DCB1104)
Covers both of DeWalt's smaller-format platforms in one genuine charger at a fair price — a practical pick if you own both 12V MAX and 20V MAX tools.
DEWALT 12V MAX 2.0Ah Battery (DCB122)
The DCB122 is the genuine, budget-friendly entry point for DEWALT's 12V MAX platform — right-sized for compact tools, not a fit for the 20V MAX lineup.
