Amazon.com Product Review This is an amazing little charger that literally breathes new life into your failing DeWalt batteries. It revitalizes everything from 9.6 volts through the big 18-volters, but what's so great about this charger is that not only can it be used as a standard quick charger, but if you leave a worn-down battery in for four to 10 hours, the charger conditions the battery with a tune-up mode, and at completion, it automatically converts to trickle charge, so you'll never damage a battery by leaving it in the charger too long.Diagnostics with LED indicators give you the battery status at a glance: charged, charging, power line problem, replace pack, and battery too hot or too cold. It's got a small footprint, which is always a plus, and the price is look-twice-and-rub-your-eyes cheap.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

not sure yet.. October 8, 2008 still not sure what my verdict is (one failure so far), but i can answer a few questions others had:
1) as others have mentioned, it arrived w/ no manual etc. however the meanings of the LED patterns are printed in tiny print on the side of charger itself, in morse code-like graphs.. and i did find the manual at the dewaltservicenet site, which i'll try to link to below
2) i was disappointed that after plugging in my b&d ps130 firestorm 12v battery, it first started to charge normally (slow on-off LED pattern), but after a few minutes said i need to replace my battery (rapid on-off LED pattern). however, this is not unreasonable i guess, since the battery is certainly a number of years old (hmm it's from 2000 if the first 4 digits etched on the battery top refer to the year of manufacture), though I only used it infrequently. somewhat worrisome, for a while it gave a high pitched whine in sync with the LED flashes after a minute or two of charging (before it switched to 'get a new battery' mode). not sure what that's about.
3) true these seem to have been recalled at some point.. but that seems to be in the year 2000 based on the article at the dewalt site, and refers to models with dates that begin with 99 (like 9927EM) or 00, which i'm guess means they were made in 1999 or 2000. mine has a date (it seems) etched on bottom of 200709DBF.

Dewalt DW9116 7.2 -18 Volt 1 Hr. Battery Charger October 3, 2008 DEWALT DW9116 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod Style 1 Hour Battery Charger Bought two of these at one time. Works great as they are supossed to but I noticed on thing after starting to use for the first time, the little yellow refurbish button is nowhere to be found, it's in the photo but not on the units I received. But in the end, I wanted the charger to recharge my 12 volt batteries, and they do that just fine.
GREAT VALUE September 30, 2008 WHAT A GREAT PRICE AND IT WORKS GREAT....WOULD BUY IT AGAIN THANKS FOR THE GREAT FIND.......
Charger September 14, 2008 The item purchased was what I ordered and the service and delivery time was excellent. Totally happy with both the product and service.
DeWalt Charger September 7, 2008 This charger is more than I hoped it would be. After ordering chargers for my Black and Decker Power Storm Tools on 4 previous occasions I came upon the chargers in Amazon.com There were reviews thst suggested the DeWalt and that it was the superior one so of course I ordered it instead of the Black and Decker and I am glad that I did. IT IS FAR SUPERIOR AND ABOVE ALL IT LASTED MORE THAN ONE CHARGE AS THE PREVIOUS ONES BURN'T OUT OR STOPPED FUNCTIONING AFTER THE FIRST CHARGE. Wish I had seen your site before the other 4 were bought. Thank You
