5.0 out of 5 stars DeWalt Vehicle Charger -- Must have for punch outs, June 17, 2000

By 

Kevin Allen (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DW9109 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod-Style Vehicle Plug-In 1-Hour Battery Charger (Tools & Home Improvement)

This product is great for anyone that is always on the go and does not have access to an electrical outlet to plug in a battery charger. I use it everyday while performing a/c punchouts. I have owned it for 3 years and the only thing that I have found to be concerned about is overheating the charger and batteries on hot summer days.

3.0 out of 5 stars DON'T USE A MODIFIED SINE WAVE INVERTER INSTEAD, June 3, 2006

By 

VT Contractor (Northeast Kingdom, VT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DW9109 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod-Style Vehicle Plug-In 1-Hour Battery Charger (Tools & Home Improvement)

One of the reviews here suggests using a modified sine wave inverter such as the Xantrex sold here at Amazon. If you read the inverter owner's manual or do a quick Internet search you will see that use of an AC Dewalt (and some other cordless tool chargers) together with a modified sine wave inverter will dramatically shorten the life of your charger. Don't do it.

As for this product, it works as advertised. Why only 3 stars? 2 reasons: A) At the current price this item really is overpriced for what you get; B)The (50% less costly) AC charger offers "Tune Up" mode, which extends battery life. But if you have no access to AC power this is the way to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars dewalt 12v vehicle charger, August 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: DEWALT DW9109 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod-Style Vehicle Plug-In 1-Hour Battery Charger (Tools & Home Improvement)

I used the 18v tools to build an entire remote cabin where there was no regular electricity. The vehicle charger works great connected to a 12 volt solar power system.
