Amazon.com Product Description
When your car battery goes dead, a jump-start is only a quick fix for a problem that might reoccur. The best solution is to recharge the battery, using a product like the Black & Decker Smart Battery Charger. Fully Automatic Charging
The Smart Battery Charger is fully automatic and electronic, with a Digital Smart microprocessor control and an LED indicator for selecting your charging rate. The three stage automatic rapid charging operates at 6 amps, 4 amps, or 2 amps to build the battery's charge back up to its correct output. 
The Smart Battery Charger features 3-stage technology to recharge nearly any vehicle battery. View larger. | 
The Smart Battery Charger has a reverse hook-up warning alarm. | Works with Any Vehicle
The Smart Battery Charger is ideal for any 12-volt, lead-acid battery types, including those that power cars, boats, lawn mowers, RVs, ATVs, and more. State-of-the-Art Technology
It uses a 3-stage automatic high-frequency charging technology to build the battery back up to its normal output level, making it more efficient at charging than conventional model chargers. Built-in Safety Precautions
The Smart Battery Charger also has a spark-resistant reverse hook-up and overcharge protection circuit built into it to insure that the clamps are not accidentally affixed to the wrong terminals, which would damage the battery. The automatic float mode monitoring tells the unit when the battery is ready to avoid overcharging. Warranty
Black & Decker offers a full two year warranty on the Smart Battery Charger.

 Usage warning January 23, 2010
Chelle Merrill (Fort Morgan, CO)
This type of charger works just fine, but don't charge the battery in the garage if it's cold outside (unless your garage is heated.) If you attempt to charge the battery in under 40 degrees F, both the battery AND charger will fry. You'll discover the light is out on the charger, and nothing is happening, and there's no recovery at this point.
Also important: Do NOT attempt to charge a "bad" battery. You'll know the battery is bad if while attempting to use the drill, the battery supplies NO power, you push the "battery check" button on the drill and NO light appears. If the battery has simply run down, at least 1 light should appear. If you DO attempt to charge a bad battery, it - too, will fry the charger. This happened to me and the only recovery was to buy a new drill, with 2 batteries & charger, which ultimately cost far less than replacing batteries and replacing the charger - and I got an 18V drill to boot.
GOOD PRODUCT - BAD SHIPPING PRICE January 9, 2010
Steven G. Hart (JACKSON LAKE, COLORADO)
I NEEDED THE CHARGER & COULD NOT FIND IT IN ANY STORE. THE PRICE OF IT WAS GOOD BUT AFTER PAYING ONLY $11.00 FOR THE PRODUCT & THEN $8.00 SHIPPING WAS A LITTLE PRICY.

This charger is flimsy and broke the first time out of the box. The "clamps" - really more like hair clips - are light weight and sprung apart immediately - springs and pins flying everywhere. Much cheaper and easier to take the battery to Advance Auto. Don't waste your money!
poor reliability September 20, 2009

This is the first of two B&D battery chargers that I have had that ceased working within two uses. While it seems decent enough at first, the single push button control doesn't provide much info when you can't get off the "fault" light. I have followed all of the instructions, tested the power sources, and even attempted to charge different batteries. It's just not working anymore and I couldn't have babied it more than I did.
If you are looking for a product that will do what it says (and presumably that's why you bought it) every time you use it then this isn't for you. Sure, it's cute and friendly looking, but when you need a battery charged, you want it charged. This unit didn't do it for me. With the money I've invested going into my third charger/starter I could have bought a commercial unit instead that would have delivered on its promise. (sigh)
 Black & Decker 2/4/6 A 12V Automatic Battery Charger September 15, 2009
K. W. Forsyth (Mobile)
Excellent product. If you want to charge only one 12V storage battery at a time, even a van battery, this is in my opinion all you need. I looked at a number of sites, and couldn't find a comparable value. I have even charged a flat battery, and the automatic feature worked flawlessly.
