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.

Product highlights

6.0 A rapid charging: Provides fast charging for compatible Festool lithium-ion battery packs.
Wide voltage range: Suitable for compatible battery packs in voltage classes from 10.8 V through 18 V.
Ideal for 18 V batteries: Festool identifies fast charging of its 18 V battery packs as a primary application.
LED status display: Clearly indicates the current charging progress.
Remaining-time indication: Allows the user to see how much charging time remains.
Integrated cable storage: The mains lead can be wound neatly around the charger housing.
Wall-mountable: Elongated holes on the rear simplify installation on a suitable vertical surface.
Compact workshop solution: Easy to position at a charging station without occupying unnecessary bench space.
220–240 V input: Suitable for compatible mains power supplies.
Genuine Festool charger: Purpose-designed for the Festool lithium-ion battery platform.

Battery Compatibility

Festool lithium-ion battery packs: Compatible battery packs in voltage classes from 10.8 V to 18 V.

Extra Information

What does TCL 6 mean? TCL 6 identifies this Festool rapid charger, with the number 6 corresponding to its maximum 6.0 A charging current.
Which voltage classes can it charge? Festool specifies compatible lithium-ion battery packs across the 10.8 V to 18 V voltage classes.
Which battery is excluded? The Festool BP-XS battery pack used by the original CXS and TXS cordless drills is excluded and must be charged with the MXC charger.
Can it charge current CXS 12 and TXS 12 batteries? Yes, compatible current Festool batteries within the supported voltage range can be charged with the TCL 6. The exclusion applies specifically to the older BP-XS battery system.
Can it charge Festool 18 V batteries? Yes. Fast charging of Festool 18 V battery packs is one of the TCL 6's main intended applications.
What does 6.0 A mean? This is the charger's maximum charging current. Battery electronics determine the appropriate charging process for the individual compatible battery pack.
What does the LED display show? The LED display provides information on the current charging progress and remaining charging time.
Can the charger be mounted on a wall? Yes. Festool provides elongated mounting holes on the rear of the housing for straightforward wall installation.
How is the power cable stored? The cable can be wound around the charger housing using the integrated cable-management design.
Does the TCL 6 have two charging bays? No. The TCL 6 charges one battery at a time. Festool's TCL 6 DUO is the corresponding dual-bay 2 x 6 A charger.

Rapid charging at 6 A

The TCL 6 provides a maximum charging current of 6.0 A, giving it substantially greater charging capability than basic low-current chargers. The actual charging process is controlled according to the compatible battery pack connected, while the charger's LED display keeps the operator informed throughout the cycle.

10.8 V to 18 V – understanding the compatibility range

The voltage specification describes the Festool battery classes that can use the TCL 6 rather than meaning that the charger delivers one fixed charging voltage. The charging electronics recognise and work with compatible Festool lithium-ion battery packs within the supported range. The older BP-XS system remains the important exception.

TCL 6 versus MXC

The MXC is a specialised charger for the older 10.8 V BP-XS battery pack used by the original CXS and TXS. The TCL 6 belongs to Festool's broader modern battery-charging platform and covers compatible battery packs from 10.8 V through 18 V. A BP-XS battery should therefore always remain paired with its MXC charger.

TCL 6 versus TCL 6 DUO

The standard TCL 6 provides one 6 A charging position. The TCL 6 DUO provides two independent 6 A charging positions so two compatible batteries can be charged simultaneously. For a single-battery charging station, the standard TCL 6 provides the same convenient 6 A charging class in a smaller format.

Pro Tips

Mount the TCL 6 on a wall above the workbench to free up valuable horizontal workspace.
Use the integrated cable holder when transporting the charger so the mains lead remains neat and protected.
Check the battery designation before charging older Festool batteries; BP-XS requires the MXC charger.
Keep battery and charger contacts clean and dry to ensure reliable electrical connection.
Do not place the charger where sanding dust or chips can accumulate around its ventilation areas.
Allow an excessively hot battery pack to reach an appropriate charging temperature before charging.
Watch the LED display for charging progress rather than repeatedly removing and reinserting the battery.
Keep a second compatible battery charging while another is powering the tool to minimise workflow interruptions.
When creating a permanent charging station, leave adequate space around the charger for ventilation.
Inspect the power cable and plug regularly, especially if the charger travels frequently between sites.
Do not attempt to adapt the charger mechanically or electrically for a battery platform Festool does not specify as compatible.

How to Use

Confirm that the Festool lithium-ion battery is compatible with the TCL 6.
Check that the battery is not an older BP-XS pack requiring the MXC charger.
Inspect the charger, power cable, plug and battery for visible damage.
Place the TCL 6 on a stable, dry and well-ventilated surface or mount it securely on a suitable wall.
Connect the charger to a compatible 220–240 V mains supply.
Insert the compatible battery pack fully into the charging position.
Check the LED display to confirm that charging has started.
Use the LED indication to monitor charging progress and remaining charging time.
Allow the charging process to complete as required.
Remove the charged battery using the correct battery-release procedure.
Fit the battery to the compatible Festool cordless tool.
When the charger is no longer required, disconnect it where appropriate and wind the mains cable neatly around the housing.
