Review on Energup Li-Ion Replacement Battery Pack For Black Decker Versapak VP Series With 2-Port Charger by Aaron Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They are not 100% identical to OEM - but close enough. My real gripe is with B&D!

The size is a bit different from the Black & Decker originals I was using. The Versapak series had several model numbers - and there are slight differences as a result in size and electrical specifications (i.e. VP1xx) in this product but it still is close enough to do the job for now. What I wish someone made was a generic can in which you could buy bulk rechargeable batteries and solve the special replacement problem once and for all. I have six power tools that use these batteries and they work great. Unfortunately - B&D simply wants you to replace them entirely with their new models. That's great for B&D - but not so good for these perfectly good tools now destine for garage sale fodder. Hell, if they even gave us a trade-in on newer models - I would upgrade.

Pros
  • The battery pack is designed to withstand high vibrations, making it ideal for rugged use
Cons
  • The battery pack may not fit securely inside the Black Decker Versapak during use

The batteries charged without any problems in my Versapak charger. However, when I inserted them in my Black and Decker screwdriver the fit was so tight that I had to use pliers to remove the battery.
