 PS 160 12V Charger October 18, 2008
The first PS 160 I received lasted only one charge cycle. When I tried to charge my battery the second time the charger's red light did not come on and the battery did not charge. I returned the charger to the seller, Battery Jack Inc., for repalcement. The second PS 160 lasted only 10 minutes before failing, no red light, hot to the touch, and a strong electrial smell. I'll be returning this unit also and asking for my money back. Amazon really needs to investigate this issue and until the defective units are taken off the market, Amazon should discontinue selling the product.
 Charged Up October 2, 2008
Originally This item came with a whole set, so I was exceptionally pleased that you could buy it separately because that is the only piece I needed to replace. It worked right out of the box Thank goodness I missed using my drill had to use my husbands a few times while waiting on this, so I was anxious. Be careful Not to drop.They are more fragile than you think. I think That's what happened to break mine in the first place.
Replacing Black & Decker Charger September 15, 2008
I am not happy that I had to replace the original battery charger considering that it has not been used very much to date, just for an occasional job around the house. It is also sad that I have a Black & Decker Firestorm 12V Cordless Drill that is for the most part obsolete now even though it is only a few years old. The reason I bought my replacement charger from Amazon is that I could not find any replacement parts for my drill at any of the major retail outlets. I will probably not buy another B&D product the next time I need a power tool.
That said, I am quite satisfied with this replacement Black and Decker PS160 12 Volt Battery Charger #418352-0 purchased from Amazon.com. It works fine. I am just worried that it too may not last a long time, but so far so good.
As far as Amazon.com goes? I have bought a number of items from them over the past several years, and to date I am totally satisfied with my transactions. I would recommend Amazon.com to anyone.

Performs as expected August 31, 2008
This charger performs just as the original. Unfortunately the original was a slow charge also.
Do not purchase charger August 24, 2008
The battery charger arrived on time, (kudos to the Amazon site), but the charger quit working in one day. It didn't even charge the battery. I now have two B&D chargers that do not work. I am afraid to order new batteries and another new charger. (If they do not work, then I would have spent more than I would purchasing a new drill). I guess I will buy a new drill, but not a Black & Decker.
