3/20/2010

after searching in several stores for a new charger i was able to get the one i have now from amazon on line under batteries and chargers found it was almost half the price from anywhere else i have had the ps1mvc 8.4 Volt to 14.4 volt seems to charge the batteries in about an hour for each one the batteries do need to be charged for more then an hour to get longer working life from them but this one is a good one highly recomend it to anyone who needs a better charger then the one that comes with the product new black&decker needs tyo put one in each new drill combo set save time and headaches for the customers i use the charger everyday and so far it works great we will see how it holds up in thelong run.

Black & Decker charger

Would be better if it went up to 18 volts. Make one with different holes to charge at least three of the main brands. Have not gotten to use it much yet, but looking forward to Black and Decker quality.

Finally found the charger I need!

After searching Menards, Home Depot and Walmart to find a replacement for my Black and Decker PS150 9.6 Volt Battery Charger #418352-00 that completely died on us, I came online and found this charger. Home Depot's website said that they had it at my local store but when I went, they had neither my original charger or this one. So, I came home and ordered this one immediately. The great thing about this charger is that it charges our battery very fast and it even tells you when a battery is no longer good and should be recycled. It's a shame that this isn't available in local stores but at $26.99 and free shipping on Amazon, I am very happy with our purchase.

A fix at last

As a homeowner who does most maintenance work myself, I've been a fan of B & D tools for a long time: basic, solid, dependable. That changed with this drill.

The original charger was worthless; I resent having to buy an aftermarket product just to make my original investment worthwhile. In a nutshell, that's what this charger does; it works, and I'll use it until the two batteries I bought no longer hold a charge.

Score a point for B & D, which got my money again. Now subtract ten for losing a loyal customer. My new circular saw is another brand, as I expect most of power tools will be in the future.

What a great device

This unit replaced the recharger that came with my Black & Decker drill. What a difference. I'm not sure why Black & Decker didn't charge a bit more for the tool and include this recharge unit instead. The built in battery checker and indicator make this unit very helpful in diagnosing a bad battery. In addition, with the short charging time, this unit is well worth the price.
