Charger Black & Decker - Review written on August 09, 2008
Rating: 5 out of 5
Thought my drill was gone when I couldn't find the charger in either of the major leading hardware companies stores. Went on line and found exactly what I needed to continue using my Black & Decker Drill. Got the right charger on the first try over the internet. Great product and I didn't have to discard my drill.

I love my old B&D 12v drill driver. It's nice to be able to get replacement parts to keep it working. The Battery Charger works great and was as described.
Disappointing - Review written on July 28, 2008
Rating: 1 out of 5
This product, as soon as it was plugged in, blew and it is not worth what I paid for it. In fact, it is worth nothing to me. This is the biggest disappointment of all my purchases ever.

Bought one of these when my original one quit working. It worked maybe 3 months and then died. Don't buy it -- get a Dewalt one (from eBay) that works fine and doesn't burn out like this one.

I ordered this product and the ordering process was fast and easy. The item came earlier than expected, was just what I ordered and took care of my problems. Will order again. Thank you for the great service.

Awful product - Review written on February 10, 2008
Rating: 1 out of 5
This was a complete and utter RIPOFF. The product does not work and never has. I am very disappointed and would not buy anything from this merchant again. I want to give zero stars but apparently I cannot give less than one.
Thank you,
MJL
You own batteries will kill it! - Review written on January 17, 2008

Perfectly good batteries will render this charger useless. It's a fairly sad product, as it cannot even charge properly the product it was designed to charge! This is a stock unit that comes with the cordless drills. Do yourself a favor, get a Dewalt charger that fits these batteries, and throw this in the trash. The Dewalt charger will even help B&D batteries perform better.
Black&Decker battery charger - Review written on December 12, 2007
Rating: 4 out of 5
I had a really hard time finding a replacement to the battery charger that came with my Firestorm drill. I went to the B&D site and THEY didn't have it! But I found it at Amazon, got fast delivery and was charging away. The charger works great, only takes about 4 hours to fully charge a drained battery. I might just order another one for emergencies.
Not their fault, but it only worked for an hour - Review written on December 03, 2007
Rating: 2 out of 5
Their instructions said to check the battery before using. We did and it was supposed to be fine. After it charged for one hour, the light went out and it stopped working. My father, who is an electrician, said that the battery had shorted out the charger.

This charger is a waste of your money..don't buy..up grade to the Black and Decker "PS1MVC" charger and you won't be sorry. Buy this and your just throwing your money away....Would have rated at zero stars but couldn't.

This item is not found in local stores. We were so happy to find this battery charger which is compatible to our older model wireless power tools. The first usage charged the battery just fine. The next time we went to plug the charger in and use it, it no longer worked. Very disappointing to spend money for one use only.

I bought this to replace one that got lost somewhere. It has worked very well, easy to use and does what it is suppose to do, charges the battery.
under-engineered - Review written on June 08, 2007
Rating: 1 out of 5

This product is grossly under-engineered. If you make the slightest mistake the product will short out and become useless. This is what happened to me. I accidently put a bad battery in the charger and it shorted out and is now just a piece of junk. Oh wait, actually it was a piece of junk even before it shorted out.
Frankly, I'm surprised that Black and Decker still supplies these as replacements. I am now out $25+ with nothing to show for it. I will think long and hard before I buy another B&D product.
If I could rate this product lower than 1 I would.
Battery Charger Cautions - Review written on May 29, 2007
Rating: 5 out of 5
4 customers found this review helpful.
I have not used this product as yet because the very valuable caution provided by the distributor. My previous charger had shorted out and
the caution furnished with the new charger prevented me from shorting out
the new charger. The caution? "Don't try to charge a dead battery, it will short out the charger."
I will now have to order a new battery or two.

1 customer found this review helpful.
The charger came within a few days of my ordering it. I liked the informative instructions that were included with this charger. Not many customers would even think about measuring the voltage of a charger before attaching to their battery. The probability of damaging the battery is high when the charger is shorted or malfunctioning. This simple practise can save one from being frustrated and disappointed.

I did not give it 5 stars because that ranking means you LOVE it and it is great but LOVE a battery charger? Actually, I had no problems and the service was great. If you need one buy it here.

I was pleased with prompt delivery of charging unit. My husband is enjoying his Black and Decker tools. This was a very hard item to find with the battery being even more difficult to find.

Don't buy it - Review written on December 27, 2006

Don't buy it and Amazon should not allow it sold on their site. It worked exactly one time. I was unable to return it. I was given the run around by the provider (bettervac). There are better options for a similiar price (B & D PS1MVC; I've also heard that the Dewalt DW9116 will charge B & D batteries).
Stock lousy charger that comes with the drill - Review written on November 04, 2006
Rating: 1 out of 5
13 customers found this review helpful.
This is the stock charger that comes with Black and Decker 12V drills. I've had one melt. The second one just stopped working. Black and Decker customer service is utterly unresponsive after multiple attempts. There's some indication that the Dewalt version of this, for $10 more, actually functions and fits the same battery.
