BLACK+DECKER 18V 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery, BL2018-XJ

You definitely need two batteries for the strimmer, so this spare one was a good idea! They take a bit to recharge so annoying if you only have one battery and you haven’t finished strimmering 🤣

I bought two of these for our cordless chainsaw, as we needed to do a lot of cutting (a tree fell down in recent gales). I hadn't realised how badly the previous battery had become since we bought it with the chainsaw in 2020. These new batteries gave a lease of new life to the chainsaw which can now whizz through almost anything. One problem is that if you're using the chainsaw for a long sustained period (eg cutting through a thickish trunk), then the battery can overheat which will cause it to stop working, even though it is not discharged. Having a few batteries to cycle through means that you can let one battery cool down while you're using another, then switch back. I've marked the battery down slightly for longevity as the previous battery has obviously lost a lot of capacity, and is only 3 years old, and it has not been heavily used. I am assuming that these will be the same, but I will monitor it.

Worked straight out of the box, charges quickly and has proved very useful as a second battery to my B&D drill. Not the cheapest product in the world but I guess that's how much branded batteries cost. Keeps the power up until it runs dry.

Brilliant just what I needed, came within days of me ordering it,

Works well

Spare battery not much else you can say

I bought this as a spare for my 18volt drill. Ordered and delivered with no issues. Charged it when I received it and then popped it in the kit case for the drill once charge was complete. The standard charger for this battery from Black and Decker is pathetic and will take 24 hrs to charge the battery fully. A 1 hour charger is available which I will buy next year. I bought the drill and battery for a project I have next year and although this is not tradesman quality it will do what I need and last me for at least the rest of my years. I have stored the battery in the house over winter as they do not like the cold and will lose life if stored in cold conditions in the shed or garage.

The battery itself is fine and a marked improvement on the 1.5ah battery that came supplied with my drill. My problem is the pricing. By the time you've added one of these batteries, and a fast charger to replace the woeful trickle charger supplied with the drill, you could have got yourself something much better in the first place (Makita, Dewalt, Hitachi). Black & Decker's strategy seems to be to entice you in with a cheap tool, then charge you top dollar (comparable Milwaukee batteries are cheaper) for accessories that should have been included in the first place. So, if you happen to be reading this review prior to buying a B & D tool, my advice would be to add £50-60 to you budget (the cost of this battery plus charger) and see what else is on offer in that price range.
