I cannot find a compatible battery charger

It was great to find a Li-ion battery to use in my older Black and Decker electric screwdriver, which is very convenient and useful, just old. The batteries fit and the screwdriver is useful again. However, the materials packed with the product say that these batteries are not compatible with chargers for NiCad batteries, i.e., the chargers that Black & Decker shipped with these older products. Now, I cannot find a compatible charger anywhere on the web! I did try using the older charger, but I

Pros
  • This rechargeable battery pack comes with a 2-port charger that doubles the charging speed, making it more efficient
Cons
  • The battery pack may not be as easy to install as other replacement options

Works fine in B+D 3.6v VersaPak screwdriver

But doesn't work at all when used with an identical battery in my VersaPak 7.2 volt drill. These hold a charge very well -- much, much better than the OEM NiMH batteries. Every time I'd want to use that B+D screwdriver, Id have to charge it first. No more -- insert the Li Ion battery and it's ready to go!

Pros
  • Battery Packs & Chargers
Cons
  • The replacement battery pack may be more prone to developing a memory effect

Brings my old tools back to life

This fit in my Black and Decker PIvot Driver and chargers without issue. The tools work just fine with the batteries, so far so good.

Pros
  • The battery indicator on the charger indicates the charging status of the battery, eliminating the need to keep checking for progress
Cons
  • The 2-port charger may not have a long-term durability

Didn’t last beyond a few uses

Picked up a drill that needed two of these and found out B&D no longer sold this type of battery. I’ve had one in my screwdriver for years and still going strong, never needed a new one. Initially these worked but I ended up using in my screwdriver more as backup. Most of the time I tried to just keep all three batteries charged. One of these stopped working earlier this year after just a few uses. Tried both of my chargers and it is dead. Now I tried the second one a few months later without…

Pros
  • With its fast charging speed, this battery pack can reduce your downtime and increase your productivity
Cons
  • The battery pack may not be able to handle heavy loads or high-powered tools

Better than original

These higher density versions make the old Versa Pak tools shine. If like me you have a 3/8" drill and a pivot screw driver you'll be able to do 99% of household needs.90 day follow up. No problems so far. Interesting to me is that these stop charging when full. The charge light on both OEM and aftermarket chargers go out which has never happened with NiCad or NiMh batteries. The description does say overcharge protection.

Pros
  • I use it in a small power scrubber and it last through a lot of scrubbing.
Cons
  • The battery pack may not be compatible with other charging devices

Well worth the money.

Never thought I’d be able to find a replacement battery for my 10 year old Screwdriver. Well worth the money. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • The lithium-ion cells require less maintenance and are less likely to leak, ensuring high reliability
Cons
  • The 2-port charger may require an additional adapter to use with certain outlets

B&D electric screwdriver new life with these bstteries

Working great in a Black & Decker electric screwdriver. Stays ready to go and with a spare battery too. A 2amp USB supply is needed, a cord is included and almost everyone has a spare USB power supply sitting around. Look out plastic model airplane bolts, you are no match for this screwdriver now!

Pros
  • The Energup Li-Ion Replacement Battery Pack is designed to be environmentally friendly, making it a great option for eco-conscious individuals
Cons
  • The replacement battery pack may be more prone to short-circuiting or other electrical issues

Great battery charger and batteries

Easy to use, I love this battery charger and batteries becasue they power my batteries for the scrubber which I love. As Advertised.

Pros
  • As Advertised
Cons
  • The replacement battery pack may not fit snugly into the Black Decker Versapak

Great replacement on my review.

Arrived still holding a charge -- fit SNUGLY -- old battery just dropped in the screwdriver and the charger, while the new one needs to given an extra push to get all the way in. Not complaining. It's more positive seating. But I suspect it's what some people complained about, saying the battery doesn't fit or doesn't work.

Pros
  • The two-port charger allows you to charge the battery pack and another device simultaneously, making it even more convenient
Cons
  • The battery pack may not be as reliable in extreme temperatures

Seems like a good VersaPak replacement

This is the second time I've attempted to obtain VersaPak replacement batteries. The first purchase was from a company on Walmart called PWR+ and they were terrible. Very tight fit, and would not hold a charge for any useful time. I see they are no longer listing their batteries on Walmart which is a good thing. I decided to try this brand based on reviews. They just arrived yesterday and the fit perfectly into my B&D screwdriver. The other had to be banged in and pried out. So, I'm happy with…

Pros
  • With a 2000mAh capacity, this battery pack can provide more power and last longer than the original Black Decker battery
Cons
  • The replacement battery pack may not be compatible with special features of the Black Decker Versapak

No batteries. for my opinion

Package arrived promptly and charger works great. But the 2 pack Li-ion replacement batteries have still not arrived.

Pros
  • The lithium-ion cells in the battery pack are of premium quality, ensuring long-lasting use
Cons
  • The replacement battery pack may not be as environmentally friendly as other options on the market

Powers my screwdriver

So far, the battery powers my screwdriver as it should, but, as others have said, it is a VERY tight squeeze to get out of the screwdriver to charge it again. I'll live with that since my screwdriver is working again. Too soon to tell about the longevity, but the price sure beats the Black and Decker battery!

Pros
  • They are exactly like the original batteries. Now I have 3 extra pieces of hand tool for my wood shop
Cons
  • The replacement battery pack may be more expensive than other options on the market

Feel good to refurbish an item I can use today

I have an old scumbuster from black and decker that hadn't been used for years. I had lent it out to several relatives through the years and some parts were lost. Imagine my surprise that I could get batteries and replacement pads. I received them charged batteries and replaced pads and voila! they work. Feel good to refurbish an item I can use today! Thanks! This is an old hh130vp model and she works like new!

Pros
  • took me a long time to get things right
Cons
  • The 2-port charger may take longer to charge the battery pack than expected

Do not hold a charge

I bought these for my Versa Pak circular saw and they were great when I first received them. I removed them from the saw for storage and needed them six months later. Of course they needed a charge and I thought nothing of it. I charged them and they did not work. Thinking the charger might be bad since it saw the original charger, I purchased a new one. I let them charge overnight and still nothing. Don't purchase they are not viable for very long at all. I would have been better off buying…

Pros
  • The battery cells are rated to have a longer lifespan, making them an economical choice for long-term investment
Cons
  • The battery pack may not work well in high humidity or moisture

I have a pretty full set of Black and Decker Versa tools

I have a pretty full set of Black and Decker Versa tools, but the batteries no longer work. I hated to toss them out, but without batteries, they're useless, and the last time I bought replacement batteries from Black and Decker, the price was ridiculous. Then I couldn't even find any.I was considering just making these tools available for free to anyone who wanted them, but decided to look for batteries again before I gave up. So glad I did. Bought a couple of these, popped them into my tools,

Pros
  • The battery pack's robust construction ensures it can handle harsh conditions, making it ideal for outdoor use
Cons
  • The replacement battery pack may be more difficult to charge than the original Black Decker battery pack

Do great but a tight fit

Batteries charged up and ran the hedge trimmer we have Model VP410. Getting the batteries back out requires a bit of work, as they are too tight to pull out by hand. Put pliers to them and you can wiggle them and pull them out with little effort. All and all a good buy though as the batteries last quite a while.

Pros
  • The two-port charger's over-current protection feature protects your devices from damage, ensuring they are not overcharged
Cons
  • The battery pack may not be able to handle fluctuating power demands

These Batteries work great.

We had ordered batteries from two different companies and they did not work. They would not charge and one set was even bloated upon arrival. The batteries we received from Energup were already charged and fit our Black & Decker Tool perfectly. The were the exact batteries and charged up perfectly. We are very happy with this product and will order again.

Pros
  • The two-port charger is equipped with intelligent circuits that detect the charging needs of the connected device and adjust the charging current automatically
Cons
  • The replacement battery pack may require additional maintenance or upkeep

Not strong enough to power handheld drill

They're supposedly the same as the brand name batteries but you can tell by their light weight that they don't have the same "juice" and then when you try to use them, they can't even power a handheld drill strong or fast enough to actually work. Very disappointed. Maybe they would work for some other kinds of devices but certainly not for power tools.

Pros
  • Household
Cons
  • The battery pack may not provide as much power as the original Black Decker battery pack

Wow factor = 10! I replaced the NiCads with these NiMh, and am totally impressed. Instead of 2000mAh, I get 3000mAh, and they now seem to last forever. Also, the NiCad have a memory charge problem, and the NiMh do not, so I do not have to worry about letting the battery fully discharge before recharging. There was a time of several years where I could not get replacements, either NiCad or NiMh. I am glad I can now get replacements, and NiMh. These work well, and are worth stocking up, in case…

Pros
  • The battery cells are heat-resistant and operate in a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for various environments
Cons
  • The battery pack may not work effectively with certain power tools

Works in somethings and not others.

Ordered these 3.6 volt Lithium batteries for my old 7.2 volt Dust Buster. Sorry to say they did not work in this Model VP7240. I had replaced these batteries a few years ago with other brand Ni-Cd, which have worked for a couple of years. The battery did work in my 3.6 volt pivot driver, so I will be happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • To early to tell about longevity but working well now
Cons
  • The battery pack may cause damage to the Black Decker Versapak if not installed correctly
