 Waste of MoneyJul 26, 2006
By WMC
The PS130's are an inferior battery. Mine died a sudden death after three years of casual service. Not impressive. Another review suggested the DeWalt DC9071. It has the same contact as the PS130. It charges fine with a B&D charger and works with the 12volt drill/driver. In fact, it puts the drill on steroids. The only problem is that the Dewalt has a ridge around the battery case that prevents the clip holders from grabbing. I just use a big, strong rubber band to hold the thing in place. A little flakey, but it's worth the extra kick and power of the Dewalt battery. Buying a replacement PS130 is throwing good money after bad.

 I CAN TELL YOU WHERE TO GET THE CHARGERSep 29, 2003
By Geoff Lilley

...but if you've got the cash, you might as well go ahead and get a REAL drill. The number one problem I have with this lemon is that it can't hold small bits...the chuck is poorly designed. I just had the charger conk out on me...first of all, these batteries don't hold a charge for too long; now, no one carries the charger...Well, almost no one:
http://doityourself.com/store/028877325163.htm So I hope that helps the person who posted about not being able to find the charger.

And the PS on the PS130 stands for...Jul 25, 2005
By Reader
Piece of S***. I recently, very recently, purchased a Black & Decker hedge trimmer powered by the PS130 FireStorm Battery. After using the tool only once I was unable to get the battery to recharge. When I attempted to find a replacement Black & Decker battery I was told by the local dealer that Black & Decker no longer shipped that item to stores and the only place where this battery could be purchased was over the internet.
Well guess what, the DeWalt DC9071 rechargeable battery in the DeWalt DW9216 dual charger does just fine in the Black & Decker hedge trimmer. In fact, since it works and is readily available at the local hardware store, it is far superior to the Piece of S*** 130 by Black & Decker.
Had I to do it over, I'd just avoid the Black & Decker PS130 system entirely and instead go with something with either an engine or a cord.

 The drill works ok but the batteries die very fast.Jan 22, 2004
I bought 4 of these drills - two for me and two for friends.
All batteries get tired quickly with usage and they die quickly ( in that they no longer hold a charge at all ). A new battery costs $35 and I only paid $45 for the complete drill/charger/bits so buying new batteries seems like a waste. I bought the Dewalt drill ($180) which came with two batteries and _really_ like it. It charges fully in 1 hour has _lots_ of power and the batteries last quite a while.

no problemsAug 01, 2007
By Steven Hintzsche
Works just like the one that comes with your Black & Decker tool. Will also work with the DeWalt tools that are the same voltage and footprint. I use the DeWalt charger with mine. Price is well worth getting a new battery here and you may save some not using DeWalt. No use going generic if you can get Black & Decker.
