I have had a Craftsman 19.2 volt set for about 10 years now and have been happy with it. After several years, the batteries went dead; I revived them once, and then bought another set. After 10 years and two sets of Ni-Cad batteries, I decided to try a Lithium-Ion battery in my tools. It fit perfectly and ran the tools better than the Ni-Cad's ever did. The only problem is that now matter what I tried, the old charger wouldn't charge the new batteries. When I saw a good deal on a 19.2 Lithium-Ion charger, I jumped on it. After I unpacked it and read the instructions I saw that the new charger can charge both Ni-Cad and Lithium-Ion batteries. So, now I only need one charger (the last set of Ni-Cads are still useful for somethings), and my tools have a new lease on life.

and discovered that in their infinite wisdom Craftsman (aka crapsman) uses a unique design. You can't get these chargers anyplace but sneers and snoebuck or E-Bay. Thank God for E-bay in this case because Sears wants a fortune for a unit that will inevitably burn up from normal use. Too bad I didn't know this before I bought into the crapsman 19.2 volt system.

4 stars instead of 5 because the pics show a battery with the charger. I thought great I can use another battery during roofing projects where the drill will run in metal screws to fasten the tin on roof. I had high hopes that the battery would work great. The description said battery included, used approximately 10 times. I had identical battery already at home and was very happy with it. Performs great. Last very long on each charge. Well the battery sent to me wouldn't accept charge and the battery charger indicates it as defective! Oh well.... At least the charger does a wonderful job on all of my other batteries. Thanks :). I'm pleased with the entire experience except for bad battery. It was just kind of an add-on with the sale.

After some digging I found this to be the charger for my type of 19.2v craftsman compact lithium C3 batteries . Another charger didn’t recognize my particular battery and said it was bad. I knew they were good . There are several charger, just find out which one works for yours. This charger does the job!!

I bought this with a LiOn battery b/c one of my NiCad batteries wouldn't charge in the old charger - "Defective battery" error. Not only did this charge the working NiCad and the new LiOn battery - it fixed the "Defective battery"! Awesome!
