Most likely, but unless the transformer blew, which is somewhat unlikely, a good repair shop should be able to fix it. Basically the charger unit is a transformer, some diodes to convert ac into dc, and some sensing circuitry to tell you when the battery is done charging. Diodes and sensing cisrcuitry are commonly available parts and not expensive. Transformers are expensive. Even if you get it repaired youll still need an adaptor to convert from the mains 240 to the 120 that the charger wants to see. Get one with a high enough wattage for the charger. Wattage is printed on charger base.
SOURCE: Hi,
dc18ra has a fan for this purpose, I woudn't change anything in this unit
check to see if your fan is working
SOURCE: i have the Makita DC18ra s charger for 110V. by
yes you can fix it i have done 2 charges but white you are in there if you chance the large round capacitor to a 450v one you then can use the charger in 220 v you will have to increase the size of the voltage resistant diode to 240v (the vrd101 part in the charger) or by pass it with a straight bridge then the charger should work in 220v because the rest of the charger is exactly the same the parts will be around $10 ibought the parts from farnell

Alternate Red and Green flashing means bad battery. Buy a new one, or take it to a Makita Service center for replacement if it's under warranty.
Normally the yellow light indicates hot battery, but it could also mean dirty battery contacts so the heat sensor can't be read, or that the fan is clogged with dust and unable to cool the battery. The manual says let the battery cool and try again. If the yellow still flashes, it's contacts or the fan.
