I have a B&D Grass Hog cordless trimmer which I like... One battery isn't enough to do my entire yard (it came with 2 batteries, but only 1 charger) so I figured I'd order a second charger - have both batteries charged before I started the yard, and I'd be in 'hog heaven'. So, I ordered this charger from Amazon.
Long story short: It simply doesn't work.
It will not fully charge either of the two batteries that came with the trimmer although the charger that came with the unit charges the batteries just fine. It makes no difference how long you leave the battery on this charger - it won't fully charge it. In fact (get this!) I can take a fully charged battery from the original charger, put it on this charger and within a couple hours it will deplete the charge to roughly 1/2 strength - it takes the charge OUT of a fully charged battery!
This will only charge the batteries to about 1/3 charge. Sorry, but this is junk.
I've tried to get my money back, but Amazon (which I'm usually pleased with) but they're obviously better at selling items than accepting returns, even defective items. They've refused a refund, although I've only had this 'doorstop' 3 weeks...
Wish I didn't have to give it any stars at all, but Amazon won't allow that, and they have no 'negative' start, so this gets a really undeserved 1 star - it really should be minus 3 stars.
I can't recommend which charger you buy - but don't get this one.
Hope this helps someone as I just wasted my money.
