Battery Chargers

Just because they are owned by the same parent company doesn't mean they are the same quality. Black and Decker and DeWalt have been together for years and there's no comparison between the two.

As much as I hate to be disagreeable :ashamed: I have to take exception. DeWalt went to cr*p since B&D bought them. I have thrown away every product tried since the merger, but I have an OLD DeWalt saw that just keeps running. 25 years now.

In fairness, just about every premium label is showing up on cheap Chinese stuff. The tools aren't durable, but the prices are irresistable.

Topic save: I last bought a "Duracell" charger in a panic for about $70. Don't do that.

You will LOVE that charger... It is exactly as advertised... THE best charger you can get... KennyV

I got the Granite Digital 1702 Friday. It does what it says it does on the package. It has a bracket to wall mount it (which I did) and I ordered the optional charging extension cords. Trucks, tractor, ATV's, lawn tractor can all be reached in the barn with the charger wall mounted and the optional extension cords. The digital LCD readout tells me the battery condition instantly on hook up. It charges in a quarter of the time of any charger I have owned before. From the start this charger is telling me things about my batteries long before I have problems with them. It's a whole different level of charger and well worth the money.
