Ryobi 12 Volt Battery Charger


This is an excellent product. I ordered it to replace the original charger. It does an outstanding job of keeping my 14.4 batteries on ready. The online information states: "This charger is for use ONLY with the following Ryobi nickel cadmium batteries: #1400651, #1400652, #1400655, #1400671 and #1400672." However, my batteries are older models which have been replaced by one of these newer models/numbers and in that case the charger is applicable to some older model batteries. Ryobi Multi-Volt Battery Charger

I needed a both new battery pack and a charger, so I ordered the 12-volt battery shown as a combo-pack with the multi-volt charger. The batteries came from a different supplier than the charger and THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE! THE 12-VOLT BATTERY WILL NOT EVEN GO INTO THE CHARGER! Why the heck does Amazon offer a combo pack of two products that won't work together??

I didn't realize that the multi charger that supposedly charged 9.6v thru 18 v ryobi batteries only charged batteries with certain numbers on them wether 9.6 or whatever. so none of the batteries I needed charged had the correct numbers on them. so the item is being returned due to none usefullness.

Well, it let me know my battery for my power drill has died! Which means now I need to purchase a new batter to.



The charger is great, just can't say "I love it" since all it did was inform me my battery is deceased. :( Costs a fortune for a new battery. *sigh*

I haven't used it that much, but it works great on my 12-volt drill batteries. Plug it in, insert the battery, and it begins working. Nothing to set to handle the voltage, etc. Time will tell how it hols up.

great charger i have 14.4 and 18 volt batteries that i can charge with the same charger this charger is a must for a do it yourself or a contractor with the one system the battery can go from tool to tool great bang for the buck'
