The convenience of using cordless tools can be compromised if you're always standing around waiting for the batteries to recharge. To get you up and running quicker, with less down time, Black & Decker has developed the FSMVC 9.6-Volt to 18-Volt Fast Charger. This cleverly designed plug-in charger accepts a wide range of nicad batteries, including 9.6, 12, 14.4, and 18-volt packs. And it will recharge a battery in less than 90 minutes, as compared to the average three-hour recharge time of the chargers that came with the tools. The FSMVC 9.6-Volt to 18-Volt Fast Charger accepts all Black & Decker and Firestorm spring-loaded (slide-in) type batteries. --Joseph Truini

Summary: Far superior to the basic charger that came with my drill 2010-03-20
Comment: I ruined 2 of the cheap chargers and one of my batteries by leaving them hooked up in my storage room. This one seems to do a good job of charging the batteries and if you leave them on it it will keep a maintenance charge. I'm very satisfied with it so far. Kind of wish I had bought the multi battery charger, but was confused by the reviews and was afraid they might not work with my batteries. This one does exactly what it is advertised to do for my 18v batteries -- 1 battery at a time.

Summary: Great Charger! 2010-02-11
Comment: 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!

Summary: Great Charger that works on all Black & Decker slide style batteries BATTERY MOD. 2010-01-09
Comment: 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.

Summary: Charger running great so far 2009-12-14
Comment: 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.

Summary: Does not charge all slide style batteries 2009-12-08
Comment: 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.
