Received this quickly and it was exactly the product I needed as stated. I thought the shipping was too high, but that seems to be the norm these days.

Went to three stores searching for this product but know one had it. Of course I found it with trusty Amazon and the shipping was free.
Thanks!

Purchased a PS130 replacement for my old battery but the "new" batery is actually worse than my original 5 yrs old battery. Went through several cycles of complete discharge then charge with no effect whatsoever.

Product was not a Black & Decker brand name battery as advertised but a generic substitute. Time will only tell if it has the quality to hold up. Will not order from this company again.

I ordered it, it came, it was the right one, it wasn't a miracle, it was just a purchase of electronic equipment.

I had difficulty in finding the battery pack until I looked in Amazon then I was AMAZ ed and received the order before I expected it to arrive. It was exactly as described, and now it is at work in my shop.

Except for the fact that the product was double shipped and double billed the order and product was fine. It is a good distance to a UPS office and so much trouble to get over there I just kept the extra battery.

Was looking for replacement batteries - since I like the drill. Debate was to purchase replacement batteries or buy a new drill. Went for the lowest cost battery I could find. This was it. Ordered batteries, received them on date they said I would. Charged new battery for 24 hours and drill works just like new. Ended up saving myself a couple of $ while still having a full-functioning cordless drill.

Great product. The tool that I bought this battery for has been great and durable. It was my fault that I had to buy a new battery because I would leave the battery on the charger for extended periods of time after it was charged so it will, of course, lose it's power holding capability over time.

Works just like the one that comes with your Black & Decker tool. Will also work with the DeWalt tools that are the same voltage and footprint. I use the DeWalt charger with mine. Price is well worth getting a new battery here and you may save some not using DeWalt. No use going generic if you can get Black & Decker.

Very happy to be able to purchase a replacement battery.. My dear son, dropped my first one, and waited to tell me about the crack, which was not making anyone happy.. We were in the middle of a project on the house.
Very Happy... same product and delivery was fast!!

These 12v batteries are hard to find. Back&decker said they no longer make them. But found them new on amazon .com .

I have a B&D 12-v drill several generations removed from today's modern high-voltage cordless models. But it has served me well--except that I could no longer find a replacement battery at local home improvement stores. This was a welcome find on Amazon!

I found this item here and from the manufacturer. It was half the price at Amazon with free shipping & handling. I would have had to pay twice the price AND S&H from the manufacturer. Actually, the manufacturer is the one that told me to check on Amazon for this item. Thanks!

This product is difficult to find on the open market. The product I found on Amazon was new, in the original factory bubble carton, delivered promptly. I was more than pleased with the product, price, and delivery. Saved me $$ by extending the life of one of my favorite power tools. It's why I shop Amazon. Will order another before they all disappear.

Had considered getting rid of my drill because of the cost of new batteries from Home Depot. Bought the same new batteries on Amazon for about half the price.

The battery doesn't have an incredible life, but charges pretty quickly and lasts through a job. It was definitely cheaper than replacing the whole drill, battery, and charger with a new brand that may not last any better.
9 volt battery did not take recharge - Review written on January 10, 2007

Great price, delivery was also great. Used the battery on my drill and it worked fine. When it came time to recharge it wouldn't take the charge at all. I had also recently purchased a charger a few months earlier thinking that may have been the problem with the previous 9-volt battery, but it didn't do anything (then I remembered the 500 charges available with a 9-volt before it dies-hence the purchase of your battery was done); so I used the new charger on the new battery.......no charge. And all boxes / etc. not around for a return to you (my fault) since too much time had passed since I purchased everything. (What's a $50 or so amongst friends, huh?) I hate to have to buy the "newer" sets with the "newer" more available batteries, (no one carries that voltage in-house anymore) rather than still use the tools I have, oh well, I now have a perfectly good drill, sander and jig saw that I can not use; one dead 9-volt; one dead charger and thankfully no projects in the near future to be unable to use them. But the good thing is - Black & Decker is my primary tool choice, you have great products. So this should be an interesting review for you to rate.

My old rechargeable battery for my cordless drill died. I debated whether to replace the battery or buy a new drill. The replacement battery works great. I am glad that I choose to replace the battery not the entire drill.

Looking for two replacement batteries for my Black & Decker 12-volt Firestorm system, the manufacturer's pricing lead me to believe that I might as well purchase a new cordless drill, even though there wasn't anything wrong with my three original accessories. However, finding the item at the amazingly low Amazon sale price for two replacement batteries (plus FREE shipping) made it an easy choice to keep my existing units. Thanks, Amazon.
