Would be better if it went up to 18 volts. Have not gotten to use it much yet, but looking forward to Black and Decker quality. Make one with different holes to charge at least three of the main brands.
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. 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. 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. So, I came home and ordered this one immediately.
Now subtract ten for losing a loyal customer. That changed with this drill. 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. The original charger was worthless; I resent having to buy an aftermarket product just to make my original investment worthwhile. My new circular saw is another brand, as I expect most of power tools will be in the future. 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.
The built in battery checker and indicator make this unit very helpful in diagnosing a bad battery. This unit replaced the recharger that came with my Black & Decker drill. What a difference. In addition, with the short charging time, this unit is well worth the price. I'm not sure why Black & Decker didn't charge a bit more for the tool and include this recharge unit instead.
Just what I needed; the time from placing the order and recieving it was very short. Very statisfied with the whole process.
