Just what I needed; the time from placing the order and recieving it was very short. Very statisfied with the whole process.
The battery condition indicator that is built in has saved me the expense of buying another battery, as it indicates all three still take a good charge. Do to erratic use and not always following the instructions on charging (sometimes leaving batteries in for days)I wasn't sure of the condition of my three batteries. I don't use my tools very often, and don't always have 3+ hours to wait when I do. This charger has cut the wait time to 1 hour and stops when done. I'm very happy with this purchase and recomend it to anyone with the old 14.4V Firestorm kit. I can plug a battery in when I get up, and when I'm done with breakfast it's ready for my weekend project.
The 1st csr I spoke to after the 2nd non delivery said they won't send another one because they just wouldn't deliver it again. One of their new shippers, Velocity Express, claims to have delivered 2 of these to my home, the original and the replacement. I'm very surprised but, Amazon apparently has some new companies they are using for shipping. They NEVER delivered either one. Amazon.what's happened to you. Instead of contacting Velocity Express and taking care of this, the csr says all they can do is give a refund.
This charger worked as advertised. But it works better than the original charger. Batteries were charged within an hour. Too bad it's not a little smaller, otherwise it would fit in the case with the drill.
After having two (2) of the dedicated 14.4V chargers that came with my B&D cordless Reciprocating Saw fail due to cheap 'wallwart' transformers, I decided to see if the batteries would fit any of my DeWalt 8.4V-14.4V chargers. When I saw this one, since the price was REALLY good it was a "no-brainer".Black & Decker PS1MVC 8.4-Volt to 14.4-Volt 1 Hour Pod Style Battery ChargerIt appears to be constructed far better than the ones that came with the saw and so far it has done its' job perfectly. Well, they did and for awhile I was swapping batteries through the chargers trying to keep them all charged - needless to say this was a pain.
