B&D should have included this as its charger since its batteries last 20 - 60 minutes and it takes 60 minutes to recharge and with two batteries at least you can finish a project at one time - the charger included takes 8 hours and I'm sure this effects sales and when I tell others of this quick charger they are much happier but some do return their machine because they feel taken. This charger works great - charges within an hour - it does detect bad batteries with a rapid light flashing.Should have come with two color lights (red/green) because when put in a battery to charge it does flash and if you had not seen the rapid flash you might think your battery is bad.
With this charger, I always have a battery charged and ready to go. This is a fast charger, but more importantly, I can leave my battery on the charger indefinitely and it stays charged.
I purchased this charger and am very happy with it. I purchased a Black & Decker Leaf Blower and Hand Vacuum so I had 2 battery chargers. Buy this charger, you'll see what I mean, you won't be disappointed. It seems to have revived my battery packs, my Leaf Blower definitely last longer to finish the job and then some, as before a battery pack would barely last long enough to do half the yard. Just over 1 year later both chargers were garbage. It seems typical that the original chargers do fail quickly as per other reviews.
This is great if you are working on a project that is time consuming. This product as operated as intended. It will fully charge a 18V Battery in about 90 minutes.
This charger works so much better than the one that came with the drill. I had a great 14.4 volt Firestorm drill that hadn't been used for the past three years because of a bad battery charger. Thanks for a great product and for getting it to me so quickly. It was shipped promptly and I got it for several bucks cheaper than at the local building supply. When I found this one, I ordered it immediately. I charged up my two drill batteries and started using the drill again.
