Why You Need a Black and Decker Battery Charger
If you use a lot of Black and Decker cordless products—and if you’re a home
improvement person, you probably do—you may find that these tools have one disadvantage: the downtime. For
example, with the wireless drill that I have, when working on multi-day projects I often find that I run out
of juice in the middle of a day. This means that I have to take some time away from my project to recharge
the battery, which can take hours. In fact, if the drill is absolutely essential to the stage of the project
that I’m working on, this downtime can even cause me to get behind schedule.
The Usefulness of Black and Decker Battery Chargers
But Black and Decker battery chargers take this problem out of the equation. For
example, with the popular Black and Decker FSMVC 9.6-Volt to 18-Volt charger, you only need to wait 90
minutes or less. If you work it out so that you put the battery on the charger before you go to lunch, then
this will cause no serious interruption in the work day.
In fact, I often schedule my days around this. I use a cordless tool as much as I want
in the morning. Then, come 11:30, I check how much power is left, and if I think it needs more juice for the
afternoon, I put it on the charger and go to lunch.
Sure, not many people take 90-minute lunch breaks. But in fact the tool usually
charges up faster than that, and there are always little side-things you can do to eat up a little time until
you can use the tool again. You can take measurements, do something involving a different tool, or go over
your plans. It’s really not so bad.
How do Black and Decker Battery Chargers Work?
That being said, I’ve found that many people are confused about how Black and Decker
battery chargers work. After all, most cordless tools come with a charger—so why would you need to go out and
get a separate charger?
The answer is simple: The charger that comes with your product is what’s known as a
“dumb” charger, which is a sort of unkind name for a slow charger. Basically, dumb chargers send the same
amount of power no matter what condition the battery is in. In other words, whether the battery is completely
empty or completely full, it gets the same amount of power.
Smarter chargers like the Black and Decker FSMVC do things differently. Essentially,
what they do is sense how much power is left in the battery, and when the battery is not full, they charge at
full power. Then, when the battery is full, they change their behavior accordingly.
As a result, instead of having to wait 6-9 hours for your tool to recharge, it gets
done in an hour and a half. For less than $30, this will save you countless hours while making your work a
whole lot easier.
