Product Description:
Firestorm, 9.6V - 18.0V, Fast Charger, Charges All Firestorm & Black & Decker Spring Loaded Style Batteries.

Amazon.com:
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

What’s in the Box: Black & Decker 9.6-Volt to 18-Volt Fast Charger

Rating : - unbelievable
This is my first - and last - time dealing with Black & Decker. I received a drill as a Christmas gift and was surprised that the only way to charge the battery was while it was attached to the drill. Of course B&D are happy to sell extra batteries (which I bought for $30) and a charger (another $25). So now I'm in for $55 for a drill I received as a gift. Imagine my surprise to find that the charger does not fit the batteries, even though it states that it charges all 18V slide in batteries. What a huge waste of time, money, and energy. I wish I could return all these products as they have been a huge disappointment. I haven't even used the drill yet and am frustrated beyond belief. Shame on you Black and Decker. If I could give this zero stars, I would.
