Black+Decker BDC1A-QW 1A Battery Charger for 14.4V–18V Lithium-ion Batteries

The BLACK+DECKER BDC1A-QW is a dedicated charger for BLACK+DECKER slide-on lithium-ion power tool batteries. It works with both the 14.4 V and 18 V BLACK+DECKER slide-on Li-ion battery platforms, used in a range of cordless tools for home DIY, repair, and workshop maintenance. The unit charges one battery at a time and is intended for users who already own compatible packs. A slide-on docking mechanism on the front of the charger accepts batteries directly, without adapters. The charger is designed for routine top-ups between tasks rather than fast turnaround.

The charger housing is black and has a compact footprint, making it easy to place on a workbench or shelf. No batteries or carrying case are included; the package contains the charger unit only. The output voltage is fixed, with no adjustable settings, so the charge profile is set for the supported battery types. Operation is straightforward: attach a compatible BLACK+DECKER slide-on Li-ion pack to the docking face and connect the unit to mains power. The front panel is minimal, in keeping with the single-purpose design. Other brands or battery voltages outside the specified range are not supported.
