No point owning cordless kit if the batteries are sat flat when you need them. These Worx chargers are built for keeping Power Share gear moving, from standard top-ups to quicker turnaround with a worx fast charger. If you're replacing a lost unit, adding a worx dual charger, or sorting a proper bench setup, start here. Pair them with Worx Batteries and keep enough charged packs ready so the job does not stop while you wait.
What Are Worx Chargers Used For?
- Charging up Power Share batteries between jobs keeps your drill, driver or garden kit ready to go instead of leaving you stood about waiting on one flat pack.
- Replacing a missing or damaged worx battery charger gets older kit back into use without having to buy a full new machine and battery setup.
- Running a worx fast charger suits busy days where one battery is in the tool and the next one needs to be ready before you finish the current run of fixings or cuts.
- Using a worx dual charger makes sense in workshops, sheds and vans where two packs need charging together for longer shifts or multi tool setups.
- Keeping a spare worx charger uk side in the van or on the bench saves the usual faff of dragging one charger between site, home and the yard.
Choosing the Right Worx Charger
Sorting the right worx charger is simple. Match the charger speed and layout to how many batteries you actually get through in a working day.
1. Standard Charger or Fast Charger
If you only charge overnight or between light jobs, a standard worx battery charger is usually enough. If you are rotating packs through the day, a worx fast charger is the better shout because it cuts downtime and keeps your next battery ready quicker.
2. Single Bay or Dual Charger
If you run one or two tools now and then, a single charger keeps things simple. If the van carries several batteries or two users share the same platform, a worx dual charger saves time and stops arguments over whose pack is next.
3. Replacement or System Expansion
If your old charger is lost or broken, just match a proper worx replacement charger to your Power Share battery system. If you are adding more kit from Worx Power Tool Accessories, it is worth buying extra charging capacity now rather than playing catch up later.
4. Bench Use or Van Use
If it lives in the workshop, go for the charger that suits your normal battery rotation and charging space. If it is riding round in the van, a compact unit is easier to store and less likely to get buried under the rest of the kit.
Who Uses These Worx Chargers?
- Joiners and kitchen fitters use these to keep drill drivers, circular saws and other cordless kit running through punch lists, second fix and snagging without waiting on a single pack.
- Sparkies keep a worx power share charger on the van so batteries can be topped up between callouts, especially when one pack is doing the day across lights, fixings and drilling.
- Property maintenance teams rely on a worx replacement charger when the original goes missing, because dead batteries are no use when you have got small jobs stacked up across different sites.
- Home improvers and trade users already invested in Worx Power Tools use these chargers to keep the same battery system going across drills, saws and outdoor kit.
The Basics: Understanding Worx Chargers
The main thing with worx chargers is not just whether they fit, but how quickly they get your batteries back into rotation and how many packs they can handle at once.
1. Power Share Compatibility
A worx power share charger is built to work across the Power Share battery platform, so the same charger can handle different battery capacities in the same range. That means less clutter on the bench and fewer separate chargers to keep track of.
2. Charge Speed
Standard chargers are fine if batteries go on charge at the end of the day. Fast chargers are for busier setups where a flat pack needs turning round quickly so the tool is back in use before the job stalls.
3. Single and Dual Bay Charging
A single charger does the basic job for one battery at a time. A worx dual charger is the better option if you run multiple packs, share tools across a team, or want two charged batteries ready for a longer shift.
Worx Charger Essentials That Keep You Working
The right add-ons stop charging delays and make your cordless setup far less of a faff.
1. Spare Batteries
A charger only helps if you have another pack ready to swap in. Keeping extra batteries charged means your tool carries on working while the flat one is recovering, which is the whole point of cordless on a busy day.
2. Battery Mounts
Battery mounts keep loose packs off the bench and stop them sliding round the van. It is a simple fix, but it saves damage, lost batteries and that daily rummage for the one charged pack you know you had yesterday.
3. Second Charger
A second charger is worth it if one lives in the workshop and one in the van. You do not want to finish a late job and realise the only charger is sat at home on the shelf.
Choose the Right Worx Charger for the Job
Pick the charger around your battery use, not just the price tag.
| Your Job | Worx Charger Type | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Occasional DIY and light repair jobs | Standard single charger | Simple setup, compact size, ideal for overnight or between job charging. |
| Regular cordless use through the week | Worx fast charger | Quicker battery turnaround, less waiting, better for rotating packs. |
| Two batteries in use on the same day | Worx dual charger | Charges multiple packs together, keeps both batteries ready, tidier bench setup. |
| Replacing a lost or broken charger | Worx replacement charger | Gets existing batteries back into service without replacing the full kit. |
| Building out a full cordless system | Power Share charger setup | Works across compatible Worx batteries, easier system management, fewer separate chargers. |
Common Buying and Usage Mistakes
- Buying on price alone and ignoring charge speed usually means more downtime later. If you get through batteries quickly, spend the extra on a worx fast charger and save yourself standing about.
- Assuming one charger is enough for every setup catches plenty of people out. If you run multiple packs or share kit, a dual charger or second unit makes daily use much easier.
- Using one charger across home, van and workshop sounds fine until it gets forgotten in the wrong place. Keep a proper charging spot or add a spare charger so your batteries are not stranded.
- Letting batteries roll about loose while charging or waiting to charge leads to damaged contacts and lost time. Store packs properly and keep the charging area clean and dry.
- Leaving charging sorted until you have already bought more tools is backwards. If you are adding to Worx Batteries, Chargers and Mounts, make sure your charging setup can keep up with the number of packs you own.
Single Charger vs Fast Charger vs Dual Charger
Single Charger
Best for lighter use, occasional repairs and anyone charging one battery at a time. It does the job fine, but if you are regularly flattening packs, waiting soon gets old.
Fast Charger
The better choice for regular cordless use where turnaround matters. You pay more, but you get batteries back quicker, which matters far more than a small saving when work is piling up.
Dual Charger
Best for bigger setups with more than one battery in constant use. It keeps two packs moving together and suits shared kit, longer sessions and anyone fed up with queueing batteries one by one.
Maintenance and Care
Keep the Contacts Clean
Dust, plaster and general van grime around the charger contacts can stop batteries seating properly. Give the unit and battery rails a regular wipe so charging stays consistent.
Store It Somewhere Dry
Chargers do not want to live under wet coats or in the bottom of a damp van. Keep them dry, off the floor and away from knocks if you want them to last.
Check the Lead and Plug
If the cable is crushed, split or repeatedly bent near the plug, sort it before it fails completely. A damaged lead is not worth risking just to save replacing a charger.
Do Not Let It Get Buried
Most replacement chargers get bought because the original is lost, not worn out. Give it a fixed spot on the bench or shelf so it is there when the batteries need it.
Replace When Charging Turns Unreliable
If batteries stop charging properly and you have ruled out the packs themselves, do not keep gambling on a failing charger. Replace it and keep the rest of your cordless kit dependable.

Worx Charger FAQs
What chargers does Worx make?
Worx makes standard chargers, faster charging options and dual bay chargers for its Power Share battery platform. The main difference is how quickly they recharge a pack and whether they charge one battery or two at once.
How long does it take to charge a Worx battery?
It depends on the battery capacity and the charger type. Smaller batteries charge quicker than larger ones, and a worx fast charger will cut waiting time compared with a standard charger. If you are using cordless kit regularly, charge speed matters more than most people think.
Is the Worx charger compatible with all Worx battery capacities?
Yes, if you are staying within the proper Worx Power Share system, the charger is designed to work across compatible battery capacities in that range. The capacity changes how long the charge takes, not whether the battery fits the charger.
Does Worx make a dual battery charger?
Yes, Worx does make dual battery chargers. They are the sensible option if you keep more than one pack in daily rotation, because you can charge two batteries together instead of waiting for one bay to free up.
Is a worx fast charger worth it, or is it just a nice extra?
If you only charge overnight, probably not. If you are working through packs in a day, then yes, it is worth it because faster turnaround means less downtime and less temptation to buy more batteries just to cover slow charging.
Can I buy a worx replacement charger without replacing the battery as well?
Yes, and that is usually the right move if the battery is still sound. If the original charger is lost, damaged or unreliable, replacing just the charger is the cheaper and more sensible fix.
