I'm really glad that I found this battery pack because you can't find some in stores anymore and the shipping was free and fast delivery.

The purchase of these batteries made my 7 year old tools work like they were brand new the date stamp was current. They were brand new and fresh and not brand new old stock like some people sell. I wish I would have bought a new battery charger too.

The two batteries each arrived in original manufacturers sealed plastic and easily charged to full capacity. Less than half the price of local purchase ... if you could find them. Powered new life into my older 14.4 volt tool set.

Bought 2 new batteries for my Firestorm setup - stuck the first one in the charger and next morning it was melted and unusable. DON'T leave you batteries in the charger for extended periods...which basically means you'll end up with dead batteries all the time. Crap.

I will never purchase another B&D product again. The original charger is garbage and one of the two batteries it came with died after using for about 2 hours (over a four year period). I followed all care instructions and had to buy a better charger for the battery that works. B&D has a two year warranty and would not give me a new one, even though the dead battery was barely used over the four years. It is ironic the other battery works????? If you want a cheap product this is for you but if you want reliability I would never consider them again. They did not even offer to inspect the battery at fault to correct the problem. After speaking with them they made me feel as though I was hustling these for a battery that does not perform good in the first place. Operating life on a full charge is about 20 minutes. You may as well take your money into the street and burn it.

My old battery was wearing down and I wasn't sure if it was the charger or the battery. So I ordered both! When I recieved it and put the old battery on the charger, it worked , but has a pretty short life. The new battery lasted longer than the old one when it was good. I was about to buy a new hedger, but bit the bullet and tried the battery and I'm glad I did. Definitely worth the buy.

I have found that the battery is good for small jobs. It runs out of power
sooner then a 18v. I am happy with mine and would order another one if
needed.

I bought 3 batteries to ensure I would have a charged unit during a work day. Within two years of light use, two batteries failed. Since the Chargers also failed, possible the chargers caused the battery failures.

I had no luck finding this item at Lowes or Home Depot, so on a whim, I did an internet search.
Thanks Amazon!

There isn't a lot to say about a battery's performance. It seems to take a charge well and holds up well in use.

This product fit my Black & Decker cordless trimmer perfectly. Of course I had the old battery to make sure I purchased the right one. I was unable to find the battery at my local Home Depot and Lowes. I checked several places on the internet but Amazon had the best price and they are so quick (it took about 5 days to receive). Thanks AMAZON!!!!!

I'm stuck with this black and decker hedge hog trimmer. I never got any real use from it. The batteries die with less than 10 minutes of use. You can't cut branches thicker than a pencil. I contacted black and decker and they sent me a free battery charger, but I hate the tool. I'm afraid the battery or charger will catch on fire because the charger gets so hot with the battery in place.
Better than the Original! - Review written on May 12, 2007

I originally bought a 14.4v Firestorm tool set that has 5 tools and 2 battery packs. One of the original packs lasted about half as long as the other one. Neither pack would last long enough to saw very much lumber with the circular saw. These new packs last 2X as long as the best original pack! I'm glad I bought 2, because these packs are getting scarce and expensive. I wish manufacturers would settle on a common pack design so that all 14.4v, 19.2v etc. would fit all others. Its ridiculous to throw away a perfectly good set of tools because you can't find a battery pack or a pair of packs cost more than the original tools including 2 packs!

I needed replacement batteries for my cordless hedge trimmer. The local Ace hardware store price was $45. I was able to buy 2 for $50 through Amazon. I had previously purchased several power tools from Amazon and each time the price and delivery have been very good.

This battery is hard to get because Black & Decker keeps making the new one. However, this particular model is more reliable than the new one so we kept it.

I'm not able to tell whether it works or not, as the charger for this system died. The replacement charger I ordered direct from B&D was the wrong one, and the replacement for that apparently isn't working either. I'm having such fun with this.

Bought a DEWALT DW9116 charger as well, very pleased with the performance of my original battery and this one with the Dewalt Charger, the "tune-up" mode of the charger really does seem to make a difference.
