Description of DEWALT DW9116 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod Style 1 Hour Battery Charger
This is an amazing little charger that literally breathes new life into your failing DeWalt batteries. It revitalizes everything from 9.6 volts through the big 18-volters, but what's so great about this charger is that not only can it be used as a standard quick charger, but if you leave a worn-down battery in for four to 10 hours, the charger conditions the battery with a tune-up mode, and at completion, it automatically converts to trickle charge, so you'll never damage a battery by leaving it in the charger too long. Diagnostics with LED indicators give you the battery status at a glance: charged, charging, power line problem, replace pack, and battery too hot or too cold. It's got a small footprint, which is always a plus, and the price is look-twice-and-rub-your-eyes cheap.This is an amazing little charger that literally breathes new life into your failing DeWalt batteries.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DW9116 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod Style 1 Hour Battery Charger
Customer Review: Firestorm PS145 Type 3 18V Battery owners BEWARE
Summary: 5 Stars
The charger works great and the seller I got it from shipped it on time. However, this review is for anyone that owns a Firestorm PS145 18V battery. Just beware.
I bought this charger and said battery (http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-PS145-18-Volt-Battery/dp/B0000302V2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1281753974&sr=8-1) for my father who recently told me that his Firestorm battery and charger were fried (though it had been busted for a few years but I was not home at the time as I was stationed in Japan). All items arrived promptly and in great shape. However, the PS145 battery DOES NOT fit into the charger (more on this in a bit). Prior to buying this charger and battery I went through almost every single review I could find (I originally started from the PS180 charger page that led me to this charger) and nothing suggested that this battery would not work with this charger so I was in for a surprise.
At first I thought maybe one of the items I ordered may have been dead on arrival so I had my brother bring in his 18V Dewalt battery to check the new charger. Charger lit up so I knew it was working fine. However, since he only uses Dewalt and we only have this one B&D battery, I had to find a way to make sure the battery wasn't faulty. So I grabbed some copper wire, stripped the tips and basically just made an extension to connect to the battery and the charger lit up. So now I know both items are working fine. I compared the Dewalt and B&D battery and it was almost the same. (BTW, the 18v Dewalt battery works in the Firestorm drill; it just won't latch) The only difference being the notch at the stem/post of the battery. The Dewalt was centered but the B&D was off to the side. And making sure that the notch was not actually needed, I sawed it off. Now it fit a lot better but it still won't charge. Just so happens that my brother has a spare DW9116 charger that he isn't using but here's the thing. I put the B&D battery in it and it actually charges. However, I put it into the exact same charger that I just bought, it doesn't. The only difference between the one I bought and my brother's backup charger was the year it was manufactured. His was 2007 and the new one was 2010. Other than the date on the bottom of the charger, it was exactly the same yet it charges in the older one but not the newer one. Anyone that knows why please leave a comment. I am not exactly tool savvy.
To summarize:
18V DeWalt charges in 2007 DW9116 Charger and 2010 DW9116 Charger (obviously, since it was made for it)
18V B&D PS145 Type 3 (with the notch removed) charges only in 2007 DW9116 Charger but NOT the newly ordered 2010 DW9116 Charger.
*Also note, the B&D battery fits like the Dewalt battery in the 2007 charger but is still tight in the newly ordered one. Dewalt fits the same in both chargers.
My guess, for some weird reason, is that the contacts still aren't touching in the new charger. I don't know how this is possible with what I already described. So for now we are using my brother's charger and the new one we just bought is now his backup, but if it really comes down to it, I'll probably just jury rig an extension of the charger contacts.
