Ryoi 12.0 Volt Charger

2008-09-18
After 2 or 3 weeks the Ryobi 12.0 volt charger did not work. I am not satisfied with this product.

Died less than 2 weeks after purchase.

I bought this to replace the original charger, which finally gave up the ghost after 4 years of continuous service. This charger died less than 2 weeks after plugging it in. I wrote the seller, Mowtownusa, and explained the situation and asked what to do, but I never received a reply (this was a couple of weeks ago). I've decided to give up and buy a new one next year; can't afford to throw away any money this year. Ryobi Charger 1411141

Only use with good batteries

I had seen the poor reviews for this charger, but the plastic casing on my old charger had disintegrated after 10 years, so I had to get a new one. I had one new battery which charged up just fine. Then I put in a battery which was down to 5V and the charger lasted about 30 seconds before the light went out. The problem was the transformer which had died. I still had the transformer from my old charger, so I connected it and it charged up my old battery. The new transformer was rated at 200 mA, the old one was rated at 400 mA and was twice the size and weight. Conclusion -- only insert batteries near to 12V so as not to over load the feeble transformer.

Ryobi Charger - junk

Similar to others - I purchased this to replace an identical unit that had failed with very limited use. The new one failed within 15 minutes out of the box because of a low battery condition. Will cost nearly as much as the original purchase to replace under warranty. I liked the tool, but this will be the last Ryobi product I purchase.

Good Charger, but Bad baterries will blow it!

Factory batteries and Charger lasted < 2yrs. Replaced the charger with this original charger, but replaced batteries with higher capacity 3000mah campatable aftermarket replacements! WOW! NEW TOOL - Stronger, Lasts much longer with the better higher capacity replacement batteries and have never poped the changer with the better bateries! NO problems now with better batteries!

Died after charging the second battery. JUNK!

review of ryobi charger

i received this charger on the tuesday after memorial day. i plugged it in to see if it worked and it did. on the following friday i had two batteries to charge and i plugged it in again and it worked for about twenty minutes and it quit. i would have complained and sent it back but it would probably cost more money than it is worth. so i don't think too much of the charger.

One of the Best

This charger lasted less than an Hour when charging my batteries. However the seller stepped right up and offered a refund and free shipping to send the defective charger back! You just do not see that kind of customer service these days. The charger gets a one star, but the sellers gets five plus stars. I hope I can do business with these guys again in the future:)

Received my Ryobi charger today plugged it in set timer for 3 hours. After 1/2 hour the charger died and obviously did not charge my battery. What do I do now just consider this a rip off or contact my credit card company and rescind the charge. The original drill and charger worked flawlessly for over eight years until the charger died.
