[2Packs] 4500 mAh HPB18 Replacement Battery Compatible with Black and Decker 18 Volt Battery Ni-Mh hpb18-ope 18v Battery 244760-00 A1718 FS18FL FSB18 Firestorm Cordless Power Tool (Red)

These work perfectly in my Firestorm tools, drill, sawzall and circular saw. They charged right up and seem to hold charge very well. I haven't put them under heavy work yet, but what I have used them for, they have worked flawless. They woke up my 15 yr old Firestorm cordless tools.

I bought this due to every rising cost for OEM replacement battery packs for my 14.4 volt (slide-on) Black & Decker Firestorm drill/driver. As long as the carbon brushes on the DC electric motor are still working, I continue to use the same drill until those wear out. The original battery packs were cost upwards of $80 for one pack, whereas they were around $35 per pack when the drill was new. Most places don't sell the Firestorm slide-on battery packs. So I went ahead and bought this after-market battery pack. Much MUCH cheaper than OEM. They seem to work well. The multi voltage; slide-on; automatic battery charger I have is meant for nickel cadmium battery packs, but it does charge the nickel metal hydride battery packs. I get sufficient charge from the battery packs. They don't seem to have more power than the originals, but again the auto charger isn't really meant for nickel metal hydride battery packs either.For the price I paid for TWO battery packs, it is well worth the cost. Heck, at that price I may have four battery packs fully charged and ready to go when I need them.

Bought as replacement for the original B&D 14.4 battery that no longer held a decent charge. Use it for my cordless drill on projects around the house. After initial charg and use, I went went to use my drill after about 4 weeks of sitting idle and the drill still had plenty of torque and power, something it wouldn't do with my old B&D battery.

the plastic shell/hkusing is a bit off and it is very hard to insert into devices you want to use it with. but with careful alighnment and a lot of pressure it will mount and work. after 20 inserts of so it gets a littlw wasier to mount the battery but they are not as easy as the kruginal batteries from B&D.they charge amd work ok.

Fits and works on original charger.

Exactly what I needed for the honey do list.

Can't give a rating on longevity or battery life, I just received these batteries, they seem to work quite well.

They fit way too tight, very hard to get them on .

Took a long time to get here but works fine
