do I need a new charger for this Ni-Mh or can I use the existing Dewalt Ni-Cad charger? If not what charger do I need?

Your existing Ni-Cad Battery Charger will work fine, but remember to unplug the batteries as soon as they're charged to help assure longer battery life (i.e., I don't recommend you leaving them plugged-in for days at a time). This is my second-set of batteries, whereby I have to replace them every 3-4 years (depends on your usage).

I use the original Dewalt charger. It doesn't seem to stop charging the battery on its own, but I usually don't leave the battery charging more than about 3-4 hours. The battery has worked out well. This was the second one that I ordered so I could have one always charged and ready.

The charger you have should work fine . Mine does . I have had mine for quite a while !....still works fine .

The existing charger should work. Look at the charger. They list what volt charging it supports.

Ryobi's been using the same battery standard for over ten years. They've been through three generations of li-ion and at least one ni-cad in that time, and any tool will take any battery and vice-versa. You may need to buy a charger that will handle the new battery packs, but the entire point of their One+ system, their entire decade-long marketing campaign, is that everything works with everything. The only difference you should notice is that old tools are different colors than your new battery, and that everything works better now. Not a shill, I swear - just an *extremely* satisfied customer burned by discontinued batteries more than I like to think about.

Yes, you can charge any DeWalt brand NiMH and NiCd (and some Li-Ion batteries) between 7.2-18V. That includes 'XR' and 'XRP' badged batteries. Note that the 'MAX' brand Li-ion batteries will NOT fit this charger, as they are from a different line with their own chargers.

All of the 18 volt Dewalt batteries are interchangeable. We have changed over to the 9181 (lithium ion) and you have to use the new charger. We still charge the old batteries (9098 and 9099) in the new charger. The money is in the batteries so we have retained the Dewalt line for work. The tool is very handy for anything less than an inch socket. Be careful using it on the smaller bolts since it can strip out the threads.

I have the Dewalt 18volt batteries and just found out about a charger that fits them. It's called PoweriSite preorder on Kickstarter. Could be a great accessory when the power is out. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/463425404/powerisite-usb-power-from-your-cordless-tool-batte

You can use La Crosse to charge them. I recommend you use a good charger but not cheaper one, anyway, any good Ni-MH charger will do.

The Gizmo comes with Ni-Cd batteries. Ni-Cd chargers only support Ni-Cd batteries so I wouldn't try another technology in the Gizmo. Simple Guidelines: - A charger for NiMH can also accommodate NiCd, but not the other way around. A charger especially designed for NiCd would overcharge the NiMH battery. - Nickel and lithium based batteries require different charge algorithms. The two chemistries can normally not be interchanged in the same charger.

NO This is a ni-cad battery It will require charger#570039 unlike 691235.my advise would be always make sure you are using battery and charger that is compatible with your equipment. One important note , always time the charging on these not to exceed the time max outlined in your owners manual. (around 3 hrs. ) as the are not automatic You may need to research further to assure you are not damaging your tools or creating unsafe conditions.

This tool will work with ni-cad batteries or the new lithium ion. U can charge both types of batteries with the charger provided with the tool. But u can't charge the lithium ion batteries on your old dewalt charger.

this is a dewalt battery interface. I did find an old BD battery in trash and was able to fit it in my dewalt...I can't remember if I had to modify it to fit. you may need to file a bit to make it work? If it fits the dirll it will fit the charger.

Not much difference as this charger charges Ni-Cad as well as lithium ion batteries also. This charger is only available with some combo kits as Sears does not sell this one individually. Works great though!

The simple answer would be "NO". If you are interested in buying this battery you should already own the charger that is included with the tool purchase. I owned several B&D; tools that used this battery. I do NOT recommend this battery or the different chargers that are available because they are not good quality and have a short life, in my experience.

Any Dewalt 20 volt battery will work. You need a Dewalt 20 volt charger. You can buy a aftermarket battery and charger, but you never know what you are getting, so I would stick with Dewalt. If you need to buy battery and charger, buy the kit that comes with two batteries and a charger, it will be cheeper.

Yes they work better than NiCds. They don't fit as well as they are made for a newer model and when they near depletion of charge they will stop without much warning and must be recharged. They cannot be charged on the older NiCd charger. The newer DeWalt charger made for the Li-ion type will however charge the NiCd. I will not buy any more NiCds. They are too heavy compared to the Li-ion. Once you use the Li-ion you will understand.

Ni-Cad batteries are the older technology ones. NiMH and Lithium are the newer ones and should be purchased when possible. Also, charge your phone overnight then take it out of the charger until it needs charging again. Don't leave it in the charger stand all the time, this "cooks" the battery and shortens the life.

Carefully check that your Duracell charger is not for NiCd batteries. It must say that it will charge Ni-MH batteries instead. They are not interchangeable.

Yes it should as long as it came with Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH). Some much older chargers (before 2006) might only charge NiCd batteries and are not suited to charge Ni-MH batteries. I would consider investing in a good charger that reads the voltage in the battery and charges it based on that. The Energizer Charger charges your batteries based on a set time and not on what the battery actually might need. This reduces the life of the battery and can undercharge or overcharge the battery reguardless of its brand. If you are considering investing in the top eneloop batteries a good $30-40 charger would be a worth while investment. Michael Bluejay's Battery Guide online gives a lot of great information about both rechargeable batteries and chargers.
