DEWALT has relaunched their worksite radio charger, which is now up to 78% louder and offers up to 65% better reception than its original DW911 model.

The new DC011 Worksite Radio Charger functions as both a one-hour battery charger and a high-quality radio tough enough to withstand the worksite environment. For versatility, the DC011 plugs into an AC outlet and can recharge any DEWALT 7.2 to 18-volt battery pack (excluding Univolt®) in one hour, even while the radio is playing. It also works as a cordless radio powered by any DEWALT 9.6 to 18-volt battery (again excluding Univolt®).

The new AM/FM stereo is loud enough to be heard over the high noise levels of a typical worksite. Designed by subwoofer experts, the high-efficiency speakers feature two bass ports for maximum bass response. The DC011 features an on-board, heavy-duty storage case to hold a CD player plus multiple discs (not included). The DC011 is more durable, with a protective shock-mounted roll cage, steel speaker grills, weather-resistant controls and speakers, recessed shatterproof liquid crystal display (LCD) and an all metal 11″ pivoting antenna.

For better reception, the DC011 features a digital tuner with a longer antenna than the original DW911 radio charger. The digital tuner has fast-seeking capability that tunes in to stations automatically. The LCD window shows the exact station while pre-set memory buttons allow users to program their favorite stations for quick access. For durability, the LCD window is recessed to withstand impact on the jobsite.

For efficient battery charging, the DC011 uses DEWALT's three-stage charging system, which provides maximum run-time and extends the overall life of the battery with no memory effect.
