The charger is the weak link in the PC battery powered tools chain. The orginal charger gave out in six months and I purchased this one to replace it. So far, so good, no problems. I sent the orginal back to PC but have yet to hear from them about repairing it. I am not a heavy user but like to leave the charger plugged in on my bench, that doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Love Porter Cable tools but their battery chargers leave much to be desired. It is not really a smart charger. You can not leave it on indefinatly. Battery heats up & in my case melted. This is a potential fire problem. Most decent chargers have an on switch & they automaticlly shut off when the battery is fully charged.

I'm going on the third charger in 3 years. I'm not happy with it at all. PC will do nothing. Love the drill and saw, but will NEVER but PC cordless anything again! Im an electrician, so i use this stuff daily. Hope this helps you stay away from PC cordless tools.
