Keep Your Grade Laser Running on Every Shift
The Spectra Precision 1445-2093 is the factory-specified NiMH battery charger designed to power 2-6 D-cell battery packs used in Spectra Precision GL700 series grade lasers and compatible pipe lasers. When a dead battery means lost production time on a grading, paving, or utility project, having the right charger on the job trailer isn't optional — it's essential. Built to Spectra Precision's professional standards, the 1445-2093 delivers consistent, reliable charging from any standard 110V outlet so your crew can stay on grade and on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What lasers is the Spectra Precision 1445-2093 charger compatible with?
- The 1445-2093 is designed primarily for the Spectra Precision GL700 series grade lasers that use 2-6 D-cell NiMH battery packs. It may also be compatible with select Spectra Precision pipe laser models using the same battery chemistry and configuration. Check your laser's battery pack specifications to confirm compatibility before use.
- Can I use a generic NiMH charger instead of the 1445-2093?
- While generic chargers may physically fit, using a non-OEM charger risks applying an incorrect charge rate or profile to your NiMH pack. This can result in reduced battery capacity, shortened cycle life, or in some cases damage to the cells. For professional equipment representing a significant investment, using the factory-specified 1445-2093 charger is strongly recommended.
- Does the 1445-2093 work with standard job site power?
- Yes. The 1445-2093 operates on standard 110V AC power, compatible with wall outlets, job trailer power strips, and most portable generators with AC outlets. It is not designed for 12V DC vehicle charging — a standard AC source is required.
