Can the new 40V batteries be used in the older 36V trimmer body?

Here's a quote from the Black & Decker site: "With up to 33% more battery capacity on a single charge**-and fully compatible with our 36V lithium ion system-BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX* lithium ion batteries have the power you need to get the job done."

They sure do and run great on them! I ordered a 2nd battery here to extend my run time a little. I promptly charged and ran it for weeks after I got it w/o realizing it was actually a 40V vs. a 36V battery. Initially all I noticed was that the new battery seemed to run stronger and longer than the old but I attributed that to age. I didn't realize the new battery was a 40V until trying to answer the same question you did here by looking at the model #'s.

Though they may physically interchange, as the voltage is not the same I would not use the incorrect battery as it could potentially damage the equipment.

The housing of the 40v might fit but I would not want to burn up the motor with a higher voltage battery.

No. I have several of the WORX tools (purchased 2012 or 13)that use the 24V lithium battery- hedge trimmer, leaf blower, lawn edger/weedeater. The WORX chain saw that I purchased this Spring ('14) is a 20 V max lithium battery. The batteries are shaped slighty differently so I don't believe they are interchangeable with the 24V ones. I mistakenly believed that I was ordering a version of this saw that would be compatible with my other WORX tools but unfortunantely it didn't work out that way. Multiple batteries is certainly an advantage.

I had the same question when I purchased my 36v and got a 40V. I went to Black and Decker;s web sight and they stated the 40V is replacing the 36V. The 40V I received runs stronger and longer. I am very happy to have a larger voltage that runs in my weed whacker. The website could probably explain this better.

the answer is no. you replace a battery with the same size and voltage for safety reasons and fire hazards.

I guess you can use any battery on it as long as the voltage and the amperage is within the specification of the original battery that you are replacing. I replaced my battery with 8 NiMH, 1.2V, 2000 mAh which brought the total voltage at 9.6 volts. It worked perfectly and it also increased the running time before I have to recharge the batteries.

Sharon usually a voltage reducer for 36 volt and 48 volt are interchangeable. if you have bought an 36 volt the descriptionwill have 36v.48v to 12v somewhere on package. With that said you will able to use the 36 volt on a 48 v system

Yes, but check the size in amp hours of the battery you are replacing to make sure the new one will be equal or better in amp hour capacity.

The model number for the 40V max lithium battery is LBXR36 but so is the 36V battery here that you asked on. That battery is interchangeable between the lithium string trimmer (LST136), hedge trimmer (LHT2436 and LHT2436B), and outdoor sweeper/vacuum (LSWV36, LSW36, LSWV36B and LSW36B) & the 40V is backward compatible with the 36V battery charger & equipment. According to B&D; website.

it is more of a trickle charger and a maintainer, so if its a 36 v then it should work.

Yes, you could. But, the life of the battery would be reduced. Agm batteries have special charge requirements. And you would be mixing old and new batteries together. Battery performance can only run as good as the oldest one and would bring the life of the new down to match the older one. All batteries for best results should match type, size, and age. spend an extra $100 and get a good quality charger.

No, these batteries are rated at 20 volts. The trimmer is 18 volts. You should only use 18volt batteries on an 18volt item.

No. The 48 59 1812 is for the M18 batteries. The 48-59-0255 is for the V18 batteries. I have both and they are not interchangeable

I have two B&D; 40V lithium-ion batteries, one for this product and a second one, which I received with a B&D; 40V Max Lithium Trimmer/Edger, Model LST136. The problem in answering your question is that I don't remember which battery came with which product. They have different capacities, but can be used interchangeably. I see there is a response to your question for this product, which is one of the two batteries I have. The other battery, which then probably came with the trimmer, is a B&D; LBXR2036, Type 4, 72 Wh battery, which would make sense since a trimmer would probably need more running time than a vacuum.

Just lookup on Amazon for an NP 40 battery... I bought 2 for 14 bucks... Good to have extras...

No clue what you mean by old batteries, but probably the answer is no. The first generation V911 had tabs on the side of the batteries, while this V911 uses batteries which have a little white extension piece on the end. The contacts are completely different. Electrically the 2 battery versions are the same. Of course, the V911 can be modified to accept the older batteries. Would take some effort though.

They should. Here is an article I found on B&D website. FAQ CONTACT US Back Is it possible to interchange my 12, 14.4, 18 or 24 volt Firestorm or Black and Decker battery with any other Black & Decker product? Yes, batteries of the same voltage can be used for both power tools and outdoor products without any harm to the tools as long as they are either the slide pack or stem style battery. However, batteries purchased with power tools will not last as long in a outdoor products as those received with the purchase of an outdoor product, as the batteries are product-specific. Below is a list of some battery types specific to either the stem or slide style battery, but not all inclusive. 12 volt PS130 - stem FSB12 or HPB12 - slide 14.4 volt PS140-stem FSB14 or HPB14 -slide 18 volt PS145 - stem FSB18 or HPB18 (or HPB18-OPE) -slide 24 Volt- HPPNB24 slide (service part 90552192) For example, the HPB18 slide battery in the CD18SRK 18 volt Drill also can be used in the NST2018 String Trimmer and the NS118 Cordless Hard Surface Sweeper, as well as the HPD1802 Drill and the BDPHS1800 Navigator Saw.
