what is the difference between the 36v & 40v battery. Which one is better?

I have both...The 40v battery lasts longer in my experience using a grass trimmer, leaf blower, and hedge trimmer:you get a good 20-25 minutes using grass trimmer; under 20 when using the hedge trimmer; and the leaf blower lasts so long with a 36v that I only exhausted it once before finishing a big job (the 40v lasts longer as I can use it twice without recharging for typical driveway cleanup).

They both fit the same equipment so there is really no huge difference. Of course a 40 volt will last longer than a 36 volt. Is it significant? Probably not. So for me it would be a matter of price and availability.

The 40 v is great, I can do a whole yard with one charge, I have a large yard so love it.

My best answer: If the voltage is the same and it physically fits, then it is okay. The 4400mah stands for 4400 milli-amp hours which means that your battery can provide 4.4 amps for 1 hour or 2.2 amps for 2 hours. This means your battery is better than the 4000mah battery. I am forced to assume that the battery pins of the new battery are one for one the same as the old battery.

Voltage is the same.. mAh rating is overstated. It doesn't last as long a genuine battery but for the price I suppose I will live with it. Probably 20% less run time. Also energy retention isn't as long.

you would need the 36V model, and this would be suitable for maintaining the batteries at full charge during storage, but not for recharging them after using the cart

Mine has been inputting 24v for a year now, so I can vouch for the 24v. I believe the information with it said that it could. I can't recall the 36v or 48v however.

Pat, I have a 4230 and it's a direct replacement. Use it everyday with out issues. My guess is all 4000 model uses same battery. The pictured item is correct one. Hope that helps.

I prefer 40amp battery instead of 20 amp. It might more heavier than 20 amp but has more power to do the edge trimming job.

Hey thanks, lol. I asked this question quite some time ago. I went with the 20 volt. It works great. I agree with you as I have done very heavy tasks with this. I ended up buying an extra battery pack. I works great now.

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.

I've found the 36V battery to be a little lighter and seems to run slightly longer, (about one minute on a full charge) than the 18VX2 battery in my Makita Chain Saw or Blower. The nice thing about the 18VX2 battery adapter is that it is "Star 18V", which means it should be able to use the new 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah 18 volt batteries Makita is coming out with.

Well the model number of the unit has not change it's still "LSW36" it just comes with a 40v battery now.So we know the original came w/the 36v battery, the new one comes with the 40v battery- so the blower can use either.I wouldn't interchange chargers though, use the 36v and 40v chargers for their original batteries.

I believe that the slow charge (8 hours) is much better than the fast one. First you get maximum voltage and second the battery last longer until next charge.

No!!! The voltage of the charger must be matched to the voltage of the battery system being charged. A 48 volt charger would see your 36 volt battery system as a very under-charged battery (not being 48 volts) and the net effect would be to damage your batteries attempting to bring them up to 48 volts.

40 volts will be more powerful over 18 volts. Longer battery life has to do with the amp hours, not the voltage. This battery has 1.5 amp hours (1500mAH) of capacity. Without knowing the current draw, you can't calculate how long the battery will last per charge. However, as I have this trimmer and have used it a few times, I can comment on how long the battery does last. I run out of things to trim and still have battery left. I have two batteries because I have several of these B&D 40v yard tools. When using the edge trimmer for my very large yard I do go through one entire battery. But with the trimmer I have yet to discharge it fully. With 2 batteries I can edge my yard, trim bushes, and blow the grass off the drive and walkways. I'm a big fan.

They are 36V. I have 4 batteries operating on a couple of tools so there are always charged spares.

This is the 4.0 Ah battery. It has a longer run time and it is slightly heavier than the 3.0 Ah battery.

There are several options for the 20v battery too, the larger one lasts much longer, the thinner one is better for tight spaces.
