After bounce testing the charger that came in the kit, i needed a charger fast! Went to the “big boxes” and they wanted $80.00 for the same charger so i came home and searched the internet and found this. Even with FREE shipping it was at my front door in no time. I use my drill and flashlight quite often at work so i need a good charger and this is it.

3 Stars MAKITA DC1804 CHARGER
THE CHARGER WORKS VERY GOOD I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CHARGER

THE ONE THING I DON’T LIKE IS YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG WHEN NOT CHARGING

5 Stars Excellent Makita Battery Charger
If you have the OLD style Makita cordless 12v drill just laying there dead…buy this charger and you’ll be back in business!

I received this charger in less than the estimated time and within a couple of hours my drill was working again. I shopped all over the internet and this was the best price delivered. If you are in the market for a universal Makita Battery Charger and are reading this review..STOP… Just Order…you’be happy you did.

We were annoyed to find out that our new Makita NiMH battery didn’t fit in our “old” charger. This one fits all Makita stick and works great.

Does a fine quick charge as well.

2 Stars Works when it works
We go through these chargers frequently. I do not know if we are doing something or if they are not built correctly. They need more fusing to protect the unit. Usually batteries go out before the charger but this one is reversed.

DeWalt DC9091 XRP 14 4 Volt 2 4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery

Step up to the extra power of the DeWALT14.4-volt XRP battery pack. This high-capacity NiCad (nickel cadmium) battery delivers 40 percent more run time than standard NiCads. That means you can work longer—drive more screws, bore more holes—and spend less time swapping out and recharging batteries.

The XRP pack, which stands for eXtended Run-time Performance, will fit all of DeWALT’s 14.4-volt cordless tools and chargers, except its Univolt tools. Finally, remember to recycle your old batteries. –Joseph Truini

4 Stars Dewalt 14.4 volt battery
The price for these batteries was very reasonable compared to the full price. I would recommend these to anyone needing new 14.4 volt Dewalt batteries.

5 Stars Vince
These XRP batteries are a lot better than the original battery if your drill was made after about 1999. My original batteries only lasted about 3-4 years on my new drill (purchased 2004). I have a Dewalt 14.4V I bought in 1994 and still use the original batteries. One word of caution, the XRP batteries will not fit in the older drill case whether on or off the drill because they are larger. The older case has a more molded appearance on the inside and is double wall plastic.

5 Stars DeWalt 14.4v NiCad replacement battery
I was disappointed in the DeWalt 14.4 volt batteries that came with my drill/driver. When one totally died during a project I sent my wife out to get a replacement battery. She returned with a NiCad version which I loved. It holds a charge extremely well and lasts much, much longer between charges. I was so impressed that I got a second one and recycled my remaining (operable) original battery. It makes using the drill much more practicle.

5 Stars DeWalt Battery
There’s not much to say it’s a battery, but so far it seems to be working great

5 Stars Great power, high output
Bought a set of DeWalt tools, which included two XRP 14.4v batteries and a charger over four years ago. I didn’t really use the set much until the last two years, when I suddenly had a couple of backyard projects. These batteries pack quite a charge, and provides plenty of power and duration, especially for the reciprocating saw and trim saw. Unfortunately, last weekend one of the batteries died out and wouldn’t take a charge anymore (it’s been on the wane for a couple months before that). I’m hoping the other one will continue to work, but now I’m stuck with only one working battery. I came nowhere near the advertised 1,200 charge/discharge cycles, so that was disappointing.

I’ve had these units for more than four years, so I can’t complain about one dying. While I agree that these batteries are excellent, and should be priced accordingly, I’m not sure they need to be quite that expensive. There are companies that’ll rebuild the battery pack, typically with longer-lasting sub-C cells, for less than the cost of a new one (but admittedly not by much). Based on trade reviews, the rebuilds either meet or exceed specifications, and I’m leaning that way not so much for the cost savings, but for the extended runtime.

So, in summary, these are absolutely great batteries. The NiCad technology is proven, dependable, and is suited well for high drain devices such as power tools. However, given the relative cost and simplicity of manufacturing a unit, you should be able to get more performance for less from a reputable battery rebuilder.

EDIT (12/04/2009): Bought a DeWalt DC9310 charger DeWalt DC9310 Heavy-Duty 7.2 Volt – 18 Volt 1 Hour Charger to replace DC9116 charger. The DC9310 was able to charge the dead DC9091 to ~12 volts consistently, indicating two dead cells. Battery is now usable again, but at 12 volts. While not ideal, it was good enough for me to effectively operate all the tools, thus extending the life of the battery.

5 Stars New batteries at a great price
These are brand new, in the package fire storm batteries, at a great price. If you have problems with a Black & Decker 18v charger, switch over to a Dewalt charger, it works just fine, and is a much better charger. The charger is the weak link to the B & D firestorm drill.

5 Stars good value
This drill unit has given me years of work and thousands of hours of use. Great tools for the novice builder

4 Stars Excellent replacement for old battery
Almost bought a new drill. Then came upon this battery replacement for old one – better charge hold and much cheaper than new drill.

5 Stars Battery
Battery works fine. Due to an error on my part, the battery is the wrong one for my drill. There are two 9.6 V batteries, one has retainer clips on it and one doesn’t. Be sure you get the right one.

4 Stars better than expected
I received a Makita label battery, not necessarily what I was expecting. Most of the replacement products available were “no-name”, and I was concerned that the specs and performance would not match the original. This battery works perfectly with the original charger and has plenty of power. Nice to have my drill gun back to peak performance.

1 Star dud
I received the correct battery however it was defective and would not charge. I have returned the battery and am waiting for a good replacement. So far customer service has been okay!

5 Stars Great working, hard to find battery
Bought my Makita drill/light combo when i started as a factory/dealer mechanic(12yrs). Dropped the one battery a few years ago and that was it for that taking a charge(junked it)limped along with one batt. saw this and thought why not. It shipped fast,packaged well,charged it and drained it 10 times with my flashlight. Now holds a great charge every time. Great experience buying this.

5 Stars Makita Drill Battery from Amazon
I have had my Makita drill for many years. Another replacement battery I purchased four yers ago was not made by Makita and it was expensive and of poor quality and did not last very long. This battery, purchased fom Amazon, is made by Makita, of first class construction and very reasonably priced.

5 Stars B&D Battery
I bought a drill about 12 years ago that was just the perfect size for my small hand. It is impossible to find a drill with such good power and battery life and I was so happy to be able to find this battery. I hope they never stop making replacement batteries. Thanks!

5 Stars PS120 Battery in DeWalt DW926 Cordless Drill
After reading many reviews I decided to give this battery a try. It was by far the least expensive. Upon receipt I noticed some slight physical differences, but found that they did not hinder insertion of the battery into either the drill or the charger. I am also very pleased with the power of the battery. So far (a few months)I have used it a number of times and not yet had to re-charge. I gave it a 24 hour initial charge in my DeWalt charger which worked flawlessly. My drill is the DW926 that originally used the DW9062 9.6v DeWalt battery. This is a perfect alternative, and much less expensive, for the regular replacement DeWalt battery.

5 Stars What is real capacity of this battery?
There’s no information on it about capacity at all. Only promo saying “now 30% more capacity”. So, if we consider “basic” capacity as 1.2ah (As does DW9062), increased capacity should be 1.5ah ? I have not used this battery so much yet, so can’t say anything about actual capacity. Only thing to note is that while it is compatible with DeWalt 9.6V batteries, it is a bit bigger, and strangely – much more lighter than dewalt ones, which leads to unpleasant conclusions. Personally for me it has no meaning, since I’m going to re-pack this unit with higher capacity NiMH cells.

I opened this battery today. The cells inside are 1.2ah, and increased dimensions are just caused by plastic spacer under the cells.

4 Stars DeWalt fit – Heads up
Just a heads up. The B&D PS120 Fire Storm 9.6-Volt replacement battery

DOES NOT FIT out of the package into a DeWalt 952 drill/screwdriver.

BUT … I cut a 1/16″ x1/16″ notch with a utility knife into the seating area on the DeWalt drill to accommodate the extra guide on the battery.

(After insert adjustment, battery works fine in drill and a good price; I would have rated 5 except for the adjustment needed. I’m ordering a second B&D battery to have on hand … both my 10 year old original DeWalt batteries had died.)

2 Stars Not a perfect fit
Other reviewers indicated this battery was a replacement for the Dewalt 9.6 volt. It will fit, but only after trimming off part of the battery housing. Additionally, it is quite a bit lighter than the Dewalt, which translates to less capacity.
