 Great Charger! February 11, 2010
Mark R
This is a great little charger to have for all of my Black and Decker cordless tools. What I like about it is it is lightweight and charges fast which makes it very accessible on the job site. It also handles various size batteries, which gives me the versatility to only carry one charger on my truck. Definitely a keeper!
Great Charger that works on all Black & Decker slide style batteries BATTERY MOD. January 9, 2010
A. Garcia (Great state of TEXAS)
I purchased this charger to charge (4) 18V B & D batteries. I soon found out what other have stated in their reviews, that two of the newer 18 volt batteries did not fit in the charger. These batteries came with a drill that had an integrated charger. Because of this, the battery has an extra set of prongs that will interfere with this charger. Here is the fix. I used a T10 bit to open the 18 volt battery pack. I located the extra prongs, and cut the wire off. I proceeded to remove the extra prongs, and used some tape to cover up the cut wire. You should use some electrical tape, but any insulating tape will work. I replaced the cover,and put the screws back on. Presto! The battery works normally, and can now be charged with this charger. The extra prong seems to be a way to charge the battery without an external charger. I personally never bothered to use the integrated charger in the drill, so removing this prong/option is no big deal for me. Keep this in mind if you plan on doing this mod.

The charger that came with my drill crapped out after only a year so I bought this as a replacement. It works fine so far. Hopefully it will last longer than the last one.
 Does not charge all slide style batteries December 8, 2009

I bought this because it says that it will charge all slide style batteries. Well, it doesn't. There are some slide style batteries that have a different plug style. Black and Decker has ignored my question regarding the product and I can't locate the appropriate charger. I'm currently sending this one back. The product may be a good product, assuming that you have the right type of battery.
 It Works December 6, 2009

I have only used it once and it worked fine. If you have two batteries like I do it's a good thing to have. It's Black and Decker quality. I don't know what more there is to say. :)
