These batteries may get 10-12mins of usage even at full charge. I’m totally baffled as to why such insufficient batteries would be ever be designed (to begin with) for an outdoor power equipment tool. B&D needs to become more mindful and help eliminate more trash to our landfills because this is where millions of these batteries end up.
This battery should be removed from the market and replaced with something that actually works. It lasts barely 10-15 minutes on mild trimming and edging, then dies and has to charge again for 5 hours. It took me 2 days off and on to trim the edges of my lawn.
Bought the cordless sander with battery included to sand stairs, was only able to get 2 stair treads completed before the battery died. My husband used it the next day, and he could only do 2 stair treads. Absolutely a waste of money!
What a waste of money. The battery to my weed trimmer went bad after just a few uses. Really disappointed. I’ll look to replace this with a product from one of Black + Decker’s competitors
I wish I had read these reviews prior to purchasing because they are true. A fully charged battery lasted about 15-20 minutes. I got half way around the fence in my not very large back yard. SHAME ON BLACK AND DECKER FOR EVEN SELLING THIS. You had to know in testing this was an issue.
I have given this review high scores and low scores; does not matter what I write. Black and Decker keeps moderating, which is a fancy term for censoring, so I give up. I am returning my new 60V Trimmer and Sweeper. Time to try Snapper, Dewalt, or Worx...
