## Description

Product Description Part of the BLACK+DECKER POWERCONNECT battery system, a system that allows you to run a range of power tools in the home, the garage and the garden from the same 18V battery. Many BLACK+DECKER products are available as ‘bare’ units without the battery saving you money, you only need one battery to run the range of products. This battery is sufficient for occasional use. The higher the amp hour (Ah), the longer the battery will last before it needs to be recharged. Box Contains 1 x Black & Decker BL2018 18v Battery 2.0Ah

Review: Work very well - 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.
Review: Works as good as the original - Works as good as the original battery with a good usage before requiring charging

## Features

- LONG-LASTING, FADE-FREE POWER: The advanced lithium-ion technology delivers consistent, reliable power throughout the battery’s charge, so your tools won’t slow down as the battery drains. This means you can work efficiently from start to finish without frustrating drops in performance.
- EASY, TOOL-FREE INSTALLATION: The simple clip-on design allows you to quickly attach or remove the battery from your tools with the press of a button. This makes swapping batteries fast and effortless, so you can keep working without interruption.
- POWERCONNECT SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY: As part of the BLACK+DECKER POWERCONNECT system, this battery is interchangeable with over 30 different 18V BLACK+DECKER tools. This is a major benefit because you only need one battery type for a wide range of tools, saving you money and reducing clutter.
- LIGHTWEIGHT AND ERGONOMIC DESIGN: The compact, lightweight construction makes your tools easier to handle and reduces fatigue during longer tasks. This means you can work comfortably for longer periods, whether you’re drilling, cutting, or trimming.
- UNIVERSAL CHARGING FLEXIBILITY: The fast charging battery can be quickly recharged with any BLACK+DECKER charger of the same voltage, so you don’t need to buy extra chargers. This is convenient and cost-effective, especially if you already own other BLACK+DECKER 18V tools.
- LOW SELF-DISCHARGE FOR READY-TO-USE CONVENIENCE: The battery holds its charge for extended periods when not in use, thanks to minimal self-discharge. This makes it perect for when you need a battery for occasional use, because your tools are ready to go even after weeks or months in storage, saving you time and hassle.
- NO MEMORY EFFECT: Unlike older battery types, this lithium-ion battery can be recharged at any time without reducing its overall capacity. This is important because it extends the battery’s lifespan and ensures you always get the most out of every charge.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi will this fit the... black+decker 18 v cordless 2-gear combi hammer drill power?**
A: I have this battery for my B&D cordless, two speed hammer drill, as in the video, model number KFBCD701.  It also fits my B&D strimmer and chainsaw.

**Q: how do i know if it is the battery or charger as battery wont hold charge**
A: If you get a steady green light when you plug in the charger the battery is fully charged. If it flashes green the battery is being charged but if however if it turns to a slow flashing red the battery is severely depleted. A rapidly flashing red means the battery has a fault -usually one of the cells in it has been cracked or damaged. The only way to check if the charger is at fault is to swap batteries. The batteries trickle charge once they have been fully charged but you need to charge it up fully -usually 24 hours- before you start to use it. The batteries are sealed and so cannot be repaired or replaced. I have several batteries and two chargers so always have some batteries on trickle charge. Black & Decker don't seem to sell the chargers on there own so had to purchase a second piece of B & D equipment in order to get the 2 nd charger.

**Q: Will this battery fit hp118f4l 18v**
A: Well might do as my B&D Drill is a  EGBL 188K-GB and it fits it perfectlyThe bar code for my drill is  5 035048 358917Hope this help you

**Q: How long i need to charge this battery?**
A: Battery light just flashing red and not charging

*by S***N on 26 June 2024*

The type needs to be stronger when charged but very strong when fully charged and cuts out suddenly with about a 20 second rest it fires and then dies again.
