Have you collected some Black & Decker kit over the years? eg. This Masters deal

And the only charger you have is the dingy included 400mAh charger? Or the charger has started to fail?

Well it's time to upgrade to a 1A model that will charge your B&D batteries at least twice as fast.

Available at the following Stratco stores:

• Newcastle
• Huntingwood
• Smeaton Grange
• Penrith
• Punchbowl

Comparison by lowest price:

• Kogan ($39.99 + Shipping ~ $12: ~ $52) - BDC1A-XE
• Kogan Ebay ($44.79 + Shipping ~ $14: ~ $59) - BDC1A-XE
• Amazon AU ($79 + … ) - BDC1A-XE

Side note:

The Stanley model which is identical to this except for a notch (for incompatibility purposes) is quoted as having these charging rates:

• Chargers 1.5Ah battery in 45mins
• Chargers 2.0Ah battery in 60mins
• Chargers 4.0Ah battery in 120mins

  Hmm not sure if it's my B&D charger or batteries, but I feel like at this point it's too risky to keep pouring money into the useless kit.

    If you don't have any use for your kit, then yes, this wouldn't make any sense.

      Well I mean I do, can always use a second drill, plus there is a recip saw that I want to use occasionally, and a battery powered circular saw that would be useful in certain situations, but I just don't know at this point.

        I have an immediate need to buy this because my old charger failed. If The B&D tools start to fail and there are no replacements, I plan to re-purpose these for some of my Stanley Fatmax Tools.

        This is a no brainer for me, as it keeps my 4 B&D tools going for another couple of years (light duty).

          @iwearpants: I was wondering if these and the Fatmax could be modded to work together (thought I had read that this was possible). I have modded Porter Cable stuff to be compatible with FatMax (though they're very, very similar).

            @Banj0: In this thread, user @gimme said:

            I've hacked my Stanley batteries to work with B&D. It also works with the alleged 20V Porter-Cable.

            I know for sure that the slots and contacts are the same - I've tried since I've got both.

            But I haven't had the bravery nor the time to hack it yet. (Removing either the notch from the battery, or the tab from the charger).

              @iwearpants: Oh I am a fatmax user and would love to know how to hack my batteries to work with B&D. Is there a site on how to do it?

                @curtturtle: None that I've seen. Maybe ask @gimme he/she might have some directions.

                I might put something together if/when I get around to doing it.
