PORTER-CABLE PCXMVC Multi-Chemistry Slide Pack Battery Charger - Fast Charging for 20V MAX & 12V MAX Lithium & NiCd Batteries - Perfect for Power Tools, Drills & Outdoor Equipment

1) Porter Cable, what more can I say, the name says it all. Porter Cable = Highest Quality.2) I have used this charger almost a year now very heavily, several days a week and I have not had any problems with it charging 18v NiCad batteries at all. I use the NiCad batteries since they are so much cheaper then the high dollar Lithium AND with this 30 minute to hour charger I can charge NiCad batteries all day long compared to paying 4 times as much for one Lithium battery.3) It is a smart charger, will not let you charge battery if it is too hot or cold.Will not let you charge a bad defective battery either, it tells you such and warns you the battery is shot.It is very fast charger within 30 minutes to 1 hour it charges NiCad batteries.Long electric cord comes out of it so you can move it around to electric outlet.4) It will charge Lithium batteries also and usually within 45 minutes to 1 hour from when I have let others use it to charge their batteries.5) Great low price and free shipping here on Amazon. Saves $10-$30 on average buying it on Amazon compared to in Lowes or HD or some other place.6) Would highly recommend this to others and would buy one in future myself.Thanks again Amazon and Porter Cable.
