B&D 18V Battery

Really bad battery
I have three such batteries and all of them do not hold a good charge. Would not purchase product, not worth the money.

Ok battery
Right now I only have the weed trimmer/edger from the 18v line of tools. I am interested in the hedge trimmer, chain saw, and reciprocating saw.

Great Tools – HORRIBLE Battery

1.0 out of 5 stars Won't hold a charge
I'm 50 years old, and I have worked in the trades since I was 13. So I think I know about tools. These Black & Decker batteries don't hold a charge.
