Editorial Reviews:

Get the highest charge you need to charge your DEWALT batteries with the DEWALT DW9117 15 minute charger. In order to enhance operation, an exclusive three stage method is employed to power NiCd 7.2 to 18 volt batteries in just 15 minutes. It features a one to three hour leveling technique so every single cell receives full power and a continued charge to preserve power after the leveling is finished. This dynamic charger is a great solution if you don’t have time to wait for the standard one hour charger.


User Comments about the DEWALT DW9117 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod Style 15-Minute Battery Charger

This product was required before Christmas (December 25, 2006).It was shipped really late.Although the product is good, otherwise I would not have ordered it.I was not happy with the shipping, availability.and the notification.Thank you.Michael Collins



These of course have lost some of their charge capacity. I have several 14.4v cordless Dewalt tools-some with 5 year-old batteries. Since batteries are about $54 each, increasing their life expectancy appeals to my wallet. The 3-stage charging aspect of rejuvenation (overnight charging) yielded a noticeable increase in power for 2 of my older batteries. This charger is great. It is frustrating waiting for the standard hour-long recharge when I use the batteries faster than they can be charged. If you have 2 or more tools going at the same time (drill, screw-gun, saw) this charger will ensure your job keeps going. The 9117 helps me stay busy-at least I have to find another excuse for slacking.



This is an excelent choice for the contractor or DIY that uses cordless tools all the time. Still, time is money and 15 min charges translate into "0" time wasted if you also have at least 1 spare battery. If you need to get your tool powered back up fast, this one will do it on your coffee break or while using a spare battery. The only drawback: For the steep price, I would also expect to see a tune up feature included with this charger as is in the DW9116.
