Default Trend Air Shield

You are most welcome. That was one of the big turnoffs for me too. I
can charge my cell phone in about 2 hours and it will last all day
and then some. Granted this unit requires a little more power than a
cell phone, but the battery packs are no bigger than 4 AAA batteries
bundled together and they can't provide a decent (fast) charger. My
feeling is that it was designed that way in the beginning. With the
intention to maximize as much profit from unwary woodworkers as they
could. Why else would a simple wall charger cost so much and take so
long to charge a battery.

Steve,

Thanks for the post also. I was going to purchase one and have now changed
my mind. The battery recharging issue would really be a pain. 14 hours is
ridiculous.
