BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX* POWERCONNECT 1.5Ah Lithium Ion Battery (LBXR20)

The item I received was not a "MAX Extended-Life" product. The website describes the battery as a "Run Time," but it is actually a 1. The performance capacity of the 5 ah battery is lower than that of the 2. 0 ah, it came with my leaf blower at the time. Compare my photo to the one on the website, which has the area where the ah level is shown blacked out. This strikes me as deceptive, and I'm surprised Amazon would do such a thing. br>br>I'm writing this review before contacting Amazon because, according to the website's returns page, it appears that I'm responsible for jumping through the hoops required to return the item that was falsely advertised. br>br>Because I haven't used the battery, I can't comment on how well it performs. I'm going to keep it and use it, remembering that I was duped into purchasing it by Amazon. br>br>I've seen at least one other review that mentions the same inconsistency.

But it appears to have a short lifespan, as I've only had it for a year. In the six months I've had this battery, I've charged it six times. (It's in my backpack sprayer) It died completely the last time I used it, and I couldn't get it to charge again. The charger simply blinks very quickly. I'd look into your replacement battery options, because this one doesn't seem to be worth the money. If you do decide to purchase this battery, make sure it is not completely discharged. because it may result in certain death It certainly did in my case.

This is billed as an "Extended Run. " " This would seem to imply that the battery will last longer than the original. It is, however, identical to the white 30V, 1. My blower came with a 5 Ah battery, which I used. I had the option of buying two. Two 1 Ah batteries or one 0 Ah battery For roughly the same price as this battery, you can get a 5 Ah battery. The fact that this battery works is the only reason I gave it two stars. To be fair, the Ah rating of this battery was not stated in the description, and I "assumed" it was higher, which I now understand why.

In May of 2017, I purchased this battery. The battery has failed today, September 2nd, 2018. The battery comes with a two-year warranty, but mine only lasted about 15 months. This was for a grade of B. D Leaf Blower, which is only used in the summer and fall, had only been used for about six months. Optional B is what I have. D L2AFC Lithium Fast Charger, 16V MAX*/20V MAX*, which is an "intelligent" charger that does not overcharge. I got in touch with B. I've sent in a request for a warranty replacement and will update this review once I hear back.

My small leaf blower is great, but the battery doesn't last very long, as others have mentioned. It'll take about 30 to 40 minutes before it loses power, in my opinion. But, because of its light weight, my small yard/patio, and my arthritis, it's ideal for me. So I went out and bought a second battery. When I'm finished, I replace the battery and charge the old one, and it's ready to use again. I have a lot of large trees in my yard, so I use this almost every day. It appeals to me.

I needed to get a second battery as a backup for the one that came with the starter kit for this 20 volt system. Every time I use one of the four tools I've already bought, I think to myself: It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. When used only on my drill, my original battery seems to last forever, but when used on a hedge trimmer, saw, or weed trimmer, it quickly wears out. As a result, a backup battery is essential. This extended version appears to last significantly longer and to run both trimmers more powerfully on a new charge. Even though I was hesitant to buy it because of the price, I am glad I did. I prefer to know that I will have sufficient energy to complete the tasks I begin.

In June, I purchased this battery as a backup. rechargeable battery for my B Leave the blower on D. I've read the instructions on how to use and charge it, and I've done so. I follow the rules to a tee. But each time I use it, the time it lasts decreases: it used to last 15 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 5 minutes, and now it lasts less than 2 minutes. As a result, it's practically useless right now. I read that these lithium batteries were superior to those used by B. Years ago, D had a cordless garden tool. I'm afraid not. I despise putting money into B. After only 2 minutes of battery power, D's batteries failed to work. By the way, I have B as well. D's charger takes 30 minutes to fully charge the batteries. My cordless blower came with a charger as well. My lithium battery hasn't died yet. I used to have a back-up plan for about 10 minutes at most, but now I don't. I need a back-up battery to remove all of the leaves from my driveway, so I bought one. without having to stop and wait for the "working" battery to re-charge for half an hour charge.

B is one of my favorites. Products with the letter D! Everything I've ever had has been fantastic. I wanted to be able to use this battery if I had to do both my yard and my father's on the same day. Not only did it not hold up well, but it also did not last long. It was only good for a year, and now it won't charge at all. My cordless tool's original battery is five years old and still works perfectly. br>I'm assuming it's faulty, so I'll try contacting customer service. br>I'm not going to stop using B. This defective battery has made D products unhappy.
