Black & Decker discontinued the plug in wall charger I need for their 18 V cordless drill and no oem replacement is available. Can I use another manufacturers plug in wall charger.
Most likely, no. B&D is part of Stanley Black & Decker (SBD), however, so depending on the system you might find an SBD brand’s charger that works with minor modifications. For example, the Porter Cable 12v Max and B&D 12v batteries were compatible if a tab was removed.
I’d recommend trying to find a used charger.
Thanks , do you recommend any specific site for used chargers? I checked e bay and no luck. Funny thing is a friend bought me this drill from the pawn shop with no charger but the drill had enough charge to ensure it worked.
