Hello, Rob - We're sorry to hear that this charger didn't meet your expectations and that you wish to return it! We offer this purchasing option so customers who already have the battery and charger can purchase just the item they would like at a lower price. We hope this provides some clarity and we thank you for taking the time to leave a review. If you'd like to discuss your experience further, then please feel free to email us anytime at Reviews@RYOBItools.com.
