Black & Decker VP135 VersaPak 3.6-Volt 2-Port 3 Hour Stick Style Battery Charger with 2 VP100 Batteries

Black & Decker’s VersaPak tools are great for the homeowner, and to keep them running, you’ll want some spare batteries. Some advantages to these include their freedom from "memory," which keeps you from getting a full recharge and the fact that you’ll get at least 300 full recharges on each battery. They’ll power all the 3.6-volt VersaPak tools, including the ScumBuster and screwdrivers. Of course, once you buy a VersaPak tool, you don’t have a choice of batteries, but we’ve found these to be reliable and well able to power the 3.6-volt VersaPak line. The charger has a light that lets you know you’ve inserted the batteries for a charge, and three hours later, they’re ready to go. Our only suggestion: We’d like to see Black & Decker revamp the charger to let us know when the batteries are fully charged. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Compatible with each and every VersaPak tool, the VP135 from Black & Decker contains a two-port charger and two VP100 rechargeable batteries so you can get more done around the house in less time. Boasting "zero memory" technology--so you get the benefit of a full charge cycle--and supplying up to 300 recharges, these batteries provide longlasting power. The charger includes a helpful illuminating alert to let you know when the battery has been inserted correctly, and most importantly, it charges in just three hours! For added convenience, this charger-and-batteries set comes with a 2-year home-use warranty.
