Ryobi P117 One+ 18 Volt Dual Chemistry IntelliPort Lithium Ion and NiCad Battery Charger (Battery Not Included, Charger Only)

One of my original Ryobi chargers had died and I needed a replacement. I came across this version which is an improvement upon the old one I had. This has the smart charging built into it that will maintain a battery instead of just charging it and then shutting off. So far it has worked perfectly and I'll probably be buying another to replace another of the old chargers I have.

I bought a Ryobi pack a couple years ago. Tools aren't the best but for the price point and using for household chores hit the spot.Then my charger died - ugh - so tracked it down in stores. Price was pretty high considering my closest HD is an hour away.This was a drop in price, delivered to the door, and has been working for a year plus (knock on wood).So if you need to keep your toolset working I'd do this instead of going to the store (unless under the warranty).

great. did what i wanted.

Better than the charger that came with it.

I bought two chargers. I like the visual cues as to what is going on and, up to a few weeks ago, had no problems with them. Then one failed - no visual indication of why, just doesn't charge anymore.

Es un cargador muy eficaz y veloz, desempeña su función a la perfección.

Never was a fan but I am now a convert! We live on a ranch and I like everyone to have their own tool brands so there is no battery swiping. My father is Dewalt, I'm Makita and I have a ranch hand I'm fond of so I bought him a refurbished full set. The batter charger had an issue and I was grumbling but I called Ryobi (not amazon)... To my surprise less than 5 minutes on the phone with customer service and read her the codes off tools and charger, had me run some test and sent me a new charger no fuss. No asking for other to be returned as proof. No hassling me for 9 kinds of proof of purchase.... No giving me grief for refurbished.... All the tools work well and after than experience with customer service standing behind their product I will have no hesitation to ever purchase more of their tools. Dewalt is a pain in the butt and tries to wiggle out of helping and makita I've had a small amount of grief with. They better watch out!

Other reviewers have claimed that this device did a "miracle cure" of their dead batteries. I had bought, several years ago, a One+ kit that came with a bunch of tools, and two NiCd batteries and a P110 charger. Those batteries both stopped taking a charge at least a year ago; they would indicate fully charged on the charger lights, but would not spin my drill at all. I used my old corded tools for awhile, and then thought I might get some Lithium+ batteries for my One+ tools. That requires the P117 charger. When I saw that people were reporting that the P117 charger made their old batteries usable again, I decided to hold off on buying the Lithium+ batteries and see if my old batteries could be revived. It looks like the answer is Yes. Both of my previously dead batteries have taken enough of a charge on the P117 charger to run my drill with a good amount of force, and to run my hand vacuum for about 2.5 minutes at a good speed, then usable speed up to 3.5 minutes, then after 3.5 minutes too slow to do much good. So I think what I have here is two batteries that will work for short jobs. If I need to do bigger jobs cordlessly I will probably wind up buying the Lithium+ batteries that I now have a charger for.
