CRAFTSMAN V20 Battery Charger (CMCB104)
CRAFTSMAN's own V20 charger. The CMCB104 is the brand-made charger for CRAFTSMAN V20 power tool and outdoor tool batteries, per the listing. CRAFTSMAN says it charges a V20 2.0Ah compact pack in 60 minutes or less, with an LED indicator for charge feedback and overload protection for the battery cells. Listed at 1.3 lb. It's a single-slot charger, so it charges one pack at a time.
Brand-made: this one is made by CRAFTSMAN, not a third-party compatible. The TenHutt packs we list are sold as fitting original V20 chargers, per their listing.
Pairs with: CRAFTSMAN V20 Compact Blower and TenHutt 6.0Ah 2-pack.
Why we pick this
We looked for a cheaper third-party V20 charger and didn’t find one we’d stand behind, so this is CRAFTSMAN’s own. It sits around 4.6 stars over 1,200+ reviews. If your camp has power from a generator, RV or solar, it keeps every V20 pack in camp topped off. It’s a single slot, so charge one pack at a time.
- Bring it when: You run CRAFTSMAN V20 batteries and have power at camp.
- Skip it if: You have no power at camp, you already own a V20 charger, or you're not on CRAFTSMAN V20.
- In the box: One charger, per the listing. No battery.
- Field tip: Charge the spare while you blow out the tent with the first pack, and keep the charger shaded and off the dusty ground.
- Late-fall note: After a freezing night, let the pack warm up before you charge it. It’s a single-slot charger, so plan around generator hours, and it does nothing for you if the camp has no power.
Battery / lithium notes
- Chargers aren't batteries, so no Wh limit. Unplug it and cover it when a dust storm rolls in.
- FAA PackSafe: spare lithium batteries ride in carry-on only. Up to 100 Wh is fine; 101–160 Wh needs airline approval, two spares max.
- Keep packs shaded and off the dash. Heat kills lithium. Wipe grit off the contacts before you click a pack in.
