Verdict: by price per rated amp, the best value today is DCB1106 ($16.86 per amp, Tool Nut) among chargers with an authorized price. A higher-amp charger fills a pack faster, and DeWalt's names list these as 12V and 20V MAX chargers. Buy the fast one only if you own several packs and wait on them.

How to read it
- Amps are charging speed, not capacity. Higher amps fill the same pack faster; the product page gives DeWalt's charge times.
- Fast charging is hotter. Use it when you need the pack back, not as a default.
- The charger in a kit is free. If a kit is within a few dollars of the bare tool plus a battery, the charger is nearly free: see kit vs bare tool.
