If you’ve got Black & Decker tools that run on 18-volt batteries, you may as well stop reading here and just click on “Add to Shopping Cart.” This Ni-Cad battery is a must-have for all Black & Decker tool owners.Black & Decker has built in a “no memory” technology that gives you 500 recharges (and more, we’ve heard) without ever losing capacity. And we could be wrong, but we think these do seem a little more powerful than the batteries that come with Firestorm and other Black & Decker 18-volt tools. But like those, these slide super-easily on and off tools, so even smaller hands have no trouble with them.
