Festool TCL 6 Rapid Battery Charger
At a Glance: Versatile 6 A rapid charger for virtually all Festool lithium-ion battery packs in the 10.8 V to 18 V voltage classes. The TCL 6 features an LED display showing charging progress and remaining charging time, a practical cable holder integrated around the housing and rear mounting slots for convenient wall installation. The BP-XS battery used by the original CXS/TXS is the notable exception and requires the dedicated MXC charger.
The Festool TCL 6 is a compact and versatile rapid charger designed to keep Festool cordless tools supplied with charged batteries in the workshop and on site. With a maximum charging current of 6.0 A, it supports Festool lithium-ion battery packs across the 10.8 V to 18 V voltage classes, making it a practical general-purpose charger for users running several Festool cordless machines. A clear LED display provides continuous information on the current charging progress and remaining charging time, so the operator can see at a glance when a battery will be ready for work. Festool has also built practical storage features into the charger itself: the mains cable can be wound neatly around the housing and elongated mounting holes on the rear allow the TCL 6 to be installed on a suitable wall. The charger operates from a 220–240 V mains supply and delivers a maximum charging current of 6.0 A.
One charger for virtually the entire Festool cordless range
The TCL 6 covers Festool lithium-ion battery packs across the 10.8 V to 18 V voltage classes. This makes it especially useful in workshops where several generations or capacities of Festool cordless batteries are in daily use, reducing the need to keep a different charger beside every machine.
