LOL
I get a shiver when I see posts from Stormin..
Do you suppose they have usenet up there?
Up there?
I don't think that is where he went.

I have a pic of a ps160 charger board
*Thank you I've been looking for a replacement for my B&D PS160 charger and the only I been able to find is a used on and I did not want to just end up with this problem in a month or two, Thanks Thanks I did not know that B&D and DEWall are the same company *
I have three of these chargers. The load resistor on each was burned beyond being able to see the band colors. Two of the resistors measured around 6 Ohms and one was 9. I got some 10 Ohm 1-watt resistors from Radio Shack. Work OK but since the 1-watt resistor is bigger than the original you need to drill a little hole about 1/8 of an inch beyond next to the diodes after the burned resistor is removed to put the lead in and the bend it over to the connection point. Also, one of the transformers was dead. Looked in a junk store, such as Goodwill and found a power supply rated around 12 - 14 VAC. Fixed mine with one that said 13.5 VAC.
Verified, the DeWalt DC9310 charger DOES work in place of the PS160.
A burned resistor is a little like a blown fuse, in that it's not the "component" that you need to fix, but rather the "cause" for the failure. A new resistor will likely burn up again unless the underlying problem is fixed.
I have the same problem. The resistor is an. 82 ohm. Grey-red-gold-gold
