Chychy says "Craftsman 19.2v Multi Chemistry Charger is a great product " about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

Chychy — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:39:25 GMT

I purchased this Craftsman 19.2v Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger and am very satisfied with it. It offers charging for Ni-Cd and Lithium-Ion batteries and charges within a hour. This is great because I have both batteries and I like for them to be readily charged so I can use them when I want to. Don't have to wait a whole day for the battery to charge!! Also this charger is energy conservative, when battery has charged the charger goes into a sleep mode to save energy and protects the life of the battery. I highly recommend this Craftsman 19.2v battery charger....

boxmonkey says "Always uses power" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

boxmonkey — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:19:55 GMT

This charger constantly pulls between 0-3 watts of power when there is no battery in it, or when a full battery is in it. I recommend using it only if you need the quick charging capability. Otherwise the Craftsman 19.2V Compact Lithium-Ion Battery Pack and Charger is a much better deal; although it delivers a slower charge, it uses no energy when left plugged in without a battery, or with a fully charged battery.

MrFixit-FL says "19.2 Lithium-ion battery charger is a battery killer!" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

MrFixit-FL — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 17:30:00 GMT

This is the second 19.2 Lithium-ion battery charger I've had to buy. That's not good! The first one destroyed three batteries that I had to replace before I found out that the charger was killing the batteries. The total batteries ruined were 3. My 19.2 Nicad batteries have been working for almost 5 years and still going strong. I am very leery about the Lithium's and will not buy another one for quite a while....

BobDartt says "New charger works great!" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

BobDartt — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 20:19:20 GMT

I have a drill and saber saw along with light. I got a charger with the drill and baught 2 extra batteries. My problem was when the battery was out of power, I would put it in the charger and the green light came on indicating a full charge. It would not charge the battery until it set overnight. I took the charger back to Sears but thay would not exchange it unless I had the receipt. The drill with charger was given to me as a Christmas gift and I didn't use or discover the problem until 4 months later. I was very discussed with Sears and was ready to give all the tools back; however, I purchased this new charger and it works great. It will charge the battery is 1 hour. I have checked the other charger from time to time and it still will not charge the battery as soon as it is used.

I am still very upset with my local Sears store and their staff because they will not replace the charger, even thought is has a 1 year warrenty. They lacal store and their employee wants the Sales...

Greg-B says "Works good" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

Greg-B — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:05:34 GMT

Works great, lets you know the status. Only drawback is that you need to remember to take the battery out after it is charged. Not a big deal as fast as it charges batteries.

DaveDMX says "19.2 Li-Ion battery charger is a great to charge the Ni-cads too" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

DaveDMX — Fri, 21 May 2010 16:58:51 GMT

I enjoy the new battery charger which can charge both the Li-ion and the Ni-cad batteries. Just recently exchanged charger. The one I had died. Several of my co-workers have Sears Craftsman cordless power tools. When they need an extra charger for their Ni-cads they use Li-ion. The charges that it gives the new Li-ion batteries lasts a long time. My co-workers use them when their Ni-cads run down.

BillDShtr says "Misleading product application" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

BillDShtr — Tue, 04 May 2010 00:19:34 GMT

From the included manual: "This product will charge Craftsman 19.2v lithium-ion battery packs & Craftsman 14.4-19.2v nickel-cadmium battery packs". It certainly does not charge Craftsman 18v ni-cad battery pack with part # 1323520. After taking a closer look at a 19.2v (#130279005) & the 18v ni-cad pack side by side, even though they both have 4 prongs on the bottom, the plastic housing surrounding them are reversed 180° on the 18v compared to the 19.2v. There are 2 steps, diagonally across from each other, inside the charger that don't allow the 18v battery to drop in to place. The steps match the cutouts on the 19.2v allowing it to drop into the charger all the way. There may be other Craftsman ni-cad battery packs, with a different voltage than 18v, that may also not fit. It does charge the above 19.2v ni-cad pack in about 45 minutes.

batterydestruction says "overcharging kills battery" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Lithium-Ion Battery Charger

sears-feed — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:00:05 GMT

I have two batteries for each of my craftsman drills. I do not use the same product every day. When I leave a battery in a craftsman charger for a long period of time, the battery gets destroyed. I called craftsman and they told me that they make no charger that stops charging when the battery is fully charged. This is unacceptable. I have decided to leave craftman after 40 years and buy Ryobi..... This way I will always have a charged battery ready for use....
