5.0 out of 5 stars Skil Flex-Charge Stick Charger 3.6 volts
Product did exactly what it was suppose to do. Charged & be charged. So far no problems to report. Excellent product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best in terms of over-charge protection
Bought this because I have a Skil driver that uses this type of charger and battery. No overcharge protection on this - so battery can only be charged for 3-5 hours. After that, you damage the battery AND the chrager. Only way to tell is to smell the charger - it will have a distinctive electrical burn smell. Not the best design, for sure.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad Design, September 28, 2011

Yes, this is the standard SKIL charger. Alas it is a primitive and lousy design internally - not only does it not have a timer or a level sensor, it does not even have any current limiting at all. (Found this out when I dismantled mine after it failed). If you use it, you MUST be exreamely careful not to overcharge. If possible put it on an external timer - or at least set your wife's over timer to a couple of hours to remind you to unplug it. Do NOT leaving it charging overnight for example - it will overheat and wreck your batteries after a few cycles. I ripped the guts out of mine and rebuilt it using a more robust circuit I found online.
