works as advertised
this product works as advertised. Im happy with it.seems just a tad slower to charge than the old one but still charges at a good rate and seems to put a stronger charge on your battery. tbd

Improved design, I like it so far.
The old unit died after 3 years.
This one has some design changes.
Time will tell if it lasts longer.

"You are lucky, it usually only lasts a year or so"
Beleive or not this is the e-mail I got back from Porter-Cable customer service when I asked them if they thought my charger should have lasted more than three years. I had to buy the thing anyway to keep using the tool (which is a good one). Like the vast majority of the others here, I found the original charger (and apparently the new one) are, inexplicably, j-u-n-k. Take the vow of no more PC cordless tools with me now.

Is your drill underpowered?
This is not a product for everyone, but if you have a Porter Cable battery drill or saw that seems too lose power too quickly, the charger may be your problem. I love my drill and saw but started having to recharge often and, at times, the charger would say it was a bad batttery. After having it checked out at a repair shop, the batteries and charger were pronounced OK but I still lost power very quickly and needed multiple batteries. I was frustrated enough to consider buying a new drill but tried the charger first. My drill is back!!

Porter-Cable 8924 Universal Charger
The charger is working well Porter-Cable tools are professional quality and are some of the most reliable and durable on the market. The low price, and speedy delivery makes shopping on Amazon among the first places I look when I need tools or components...
