Amazon.com Product Review
If you've got Black & Decker tools that run on 18-volt batteries, you may as well stop reading here and just click on "Add to Shopping Cart." This Ni-Cad battery is a must-have for all Black & Decker tool owners.Black & Decker has built in a "no memory" technology that gives you 500 recharges (and more, we've heard) without ever losing capacity. And we could be wrong, but we think these do seem a little more powerful than the batteries that come with Firestorm and other Black & Decker 18-volt tools. But like those, these slide super-easily on and off tools, so even smaller hands have no trouble with them. We bet you're headed over to the "Add to Shopping Cart" button now. Excellent choice.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste What's in the Box

 Not for continuous use. May 8, 2008
A. Jezierski (Streamwood, IL US)

I'm in the process of building a deck and had tons of screws to drive to hold down the deck boards. Well, things started off great but then went downhill fast. These batteries just aren't made for constant use. After a while I found myself sitting there waiting for the batteries to recharge. I was switching off between 2 of the 18v batteries and another B&D drill with 2 12v batteries. Ended up borrowing 2 more 18v batteries from a neighbor to get me going again while mine recharged. As an FYI, one of my 18v batrteries is the silver series which are supposed to be more powerful. Save your money, they're not not any better than the regular ones.
 B&D Batteries Do Not Hold Up May 4, 2008

I bought one battery pack when I bought my new B&D drill in February 2007. I am a very light user and when the battery would not charge up in April '08 I bought a new battery, did the inital 9 hr. charge as the directions stated and the battery lasted about 20 seconds. Neither battery will charge up enough to use. Sorely disappointed. I am switching to Makita or DeWalt.
 Plan on replacing them with serious use May 1, 2008
Chris
I use these batteries with the B&D chain saw. That may be more power hungry than some tools.
When brand new, the saw really hums, wow! After 20 to 30 charges, though, the batteries seem to charge to about 70% of the "out of the box" capacity. I've had two that just died - would not hold a serious charge - within the Amazon product return time window (which they graciously replaced or refunded). Clearly there is some variability between individual batteries, but I'm guessing a max usable lifetime of 100 to 150 charges, if the battery makes it that long.
utter garbage March 24, 2008
Disappointed TX
I have four of these batteries, have charged each no more than 10 times. Two hold a charge for mere minutes. The best holds a serviceable charge for about 15. B&D should be ashamed and should come up with a decent battery or abandon the cordless market.
Weak battery March 24, 2008
Louis L. Lipnos (Cleveland, Ohio)
These batteries only last one season with full charges, after that you will only get 20 minutes on a charge. I have four batteries each with a different longevity. Also, they do not hold a charge when on a shelf, you have to plan ahead and charge the one you will use that day. A second one will not be fully charged by the time thr first one dies. They work good when brand new but will grow weaker during the season.
