 Cough up the bucks for a good charger February 28, 2005

The PS140 is a perfectly good battery - you can get those at auction sites for about $30. I just got 3 brand new in the package for $100 and that included shipping!
My tools get tons of usage daily. They are the Black and Decker 14.4v "Firestorm" drill; circular saw and reciprocating saw.
To reviewer J. Jackson, you get what you pay for. The PS180 charger, that came with the above mentioned tools, is the lowest quality, piece of #@&* charger you can get for the B&D PS140 (post style) 14.4v battery. I wouldn't give $5 for one of them. And yes, I too burned them out in no time at all.
The PS180 does not turn off after the battery is charged which is why the battery is always hot when you pull it out and that's just not good for the battery or the charger.
(By the way, shouldn't use the battery `til it cools down & always unplug the charger when you're done with it and bad batteries will kill the charger).
I bought a couple of PS1514BU B&D chargers a couple of years ago but can't find them anymore. They have a red indicator while charging, green when charged and stop operating when the battery is charged. You can leave it in there all night and the battery is cool when removed. Chargers and batteries are still in great shape and get charged about every three days!
I am VERY interested in B&D's PS1MVC. It is a multi-voltage unit that charges 8.4v, 9.6v, 12.0v and 14.4v B&D batteries. Among other things, it indicates when the battery is charged and if the battery has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
Check out the reviews on Amazon but go elsewhere to buy it. Some auction sites have them brand new for about $30.
Replacement Battery Recharger for PS140 November 17, 2005

I've been using the Dewalt DW9116 recharger since I burned out two Firestorm rechargers. It works great-recharges in an hour or less and has a "tuneup mode" that helps battery life. It also takes stem type batteries from 7.2-18volt. Also the Dewalt DC9091 battery is a identical to the B&D PS140

I work construction, and got the 14.4 v drill/saw combo for Christmas. I thought I was missing something because it wasn't 18 v. But this puppy does EVERYTHING. I am amazed this is as powerful as it is. I suggest buying this voltage simply because it's powerful but not pricey like the 18 v models.

This is an excellent item for the occational user. I really like the drill time for for the volt capacity. I have been looking around, and at a glance it appears that B&D is changing their battery format for this series to a slide-on pack. This might be an item that is hard to come by in the future.
Better than the Original! May 12, 2007

I originally bought a 14.4v Firestorm tool set that has 5 tools and 2 battery packs. One of the original packs lasted about half as long as the other one. Neither pack would last long enough to saw very much lumber with the circular saw. These new packs last 2X as long as the best original pack! I'm glad I bought 2, because these packs are getting scarce and expensive. I wish manufacturers would settle on a common pack design so that all 14.4v, 19.2v etc. would fit all others. Its ridiculous to throw away a perfectly good set of tools because you can't find a battery pack or a pair of packs cost more than the original tools including 2 packs!
