Powilling 40 Volt 3.5Ah Replacement Battery for Black and Decker 40V Battery LBX2040 LBXR36 LBXR2036 LST540 LCS1240 Compatible with 36V/40V MAX Black and Decker Power+ Tools

Great item. Just as described. Battery lasts a good amount of time before needing a charge.

The Powilling batteries are a great replacement for Black & Decker batteries. They charge faster and provide power longer than the B&D batteries.

this was a gift for a family member. I ordered a hedgge trimmer and thought a second battery would be useful.

Does not last as long, but adequate for the money.

Work well and recharges quickly.

The price is reasonable. When I went to a big box stores they didn't have a battery for my hedge trimmer. They told me that I could buy one on Amazon for $100 and advised me to get a new hedge trimmer. I paid less than $50 for this battery and it works better than the original battery. It holds a charge much longer than the original battery. It takes longer to fully charge. You may think it won't fully charge but all those battery indicator lights will light up. You'll be able to trim all your hedges and shrubs (I have many) on one charge.

Like others, I purchased this as a spare battery and trusted Amazon's rating as "Amazon's Choice" because it was cheaper than the Black and Decker equivalent battery and supposedly equivalent in performance. I had minimal problems with the battery performance other than sometimes finding it difficult to get the green flashing light indicating that it was charging. I probably only used this battery 10 times and I noticed the cover coming off. None of the screws would tighten so I removed the cover to see what the problem was. As you can see in the photos the threaded hole has cracked and broken in all 4 positions. This battery is not repairable. This problem is not caused by a defect but a poor design. The screw only protrudes slightly more than 1/4 inch into the threaded hole. It could have been prevented by using a half inch longer screw. In my opinion, the problem I had will happen on other batteries. I'll spend the extra money and buy the Black and Decker battery as my backup. Sept 5 - I previously stated that the battery was not repairable after the cover came loose due to the threaded holes cracking. I didn't want to throw the battery away so discovered that if you remove the existing screws and replace them with a longer #4 X 1 inch Pan Head screw, the cover can be tightened.

Great Battery replacement .40v but w3.5ah instead of original 40v 2.0ah
