Hmmm. Don't know. Have had mine a couple of years and they still work perfectly. When I first bought it the battery was defective. I contacted Black and Decker and they sent me a brand new one immediately at no charge. I didn't even have to return the bad one. Excellect customer service!

According to the manual, CR2032 lithium battery (roughly the size of a nickel). Under normal household use, I'd guess it will last years.

I have not had any problems with the battery. My drill will sit for 2 months and it will still be charged when I grab it for some project. I have has 4 other cordless drills, and so far this one is my favorite!

I can't say over the long-term, but I have had mine for three months, I use it everyday for hours at a time, and I have not yet had to replace the battery.

I am an occasional user with a deWalt drill and both DW9106 and DW9118 chargers. I got a battery in July of 2014, and another in January of 2015. The first one lasted at least 6 months (or I would not have gotten the second one). However during the summer of 2015, they stopped holding charges very long, and now neither of the batteries will run the drill at full speed for more than 2 seconds. I am hoping that Power extra is reading this and can tell me what I am doing wrong.Given this experience, my answer to your question is, "Yes, there is a big problem."

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."

I had one that was bought with my Roomba vacuum five years ago and only had to replace it this year. I don't know what you will be using your battery for but to use my vacuum every day for five years before replacing that's a good thing.

I bought the first one 2 years ago, so far the battery is working well. My brother charges it once a month and uses it every other day! Not yet need change the battery, but I guess when ist is gone, the only way is to replace to a new one, after all, it is only 20 dollers after sale.

Should be 1 year replacement for about any reason and 3 year limited, probably won't get them to do anything after 1 year. Battery I think is 3 years. You will have to take to Dewalt service center. Good luck

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable. Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

This includes one battery and a regular (4-hour) charger. Additional batteries are available on Amazon; search for LBXR20. Note that the details here say the battery is LBX20 (without the 'R'), but a similar search on Black and Decker's own site for replacement batteries comes up with the LBXR20 battery for this tool. Also, there is a fast (30-minute) charger also available here on Amazon. Note that each of the extra battery and the charger individually cost almost as much as the drill with one battery (!) as of today when I am writing this, but that seems "usual" with Black and Decker tools.

My original battery lasted about a year, too. I think it is time for you to buy a new battery, but that seems to be a problem, too. I have bought two that will not charge properly. I am about to return the second one. Amazon issued full credit for the first one I returned in less than 30 days. The second one never charged. I wish I knew how to test the charger just to be sure; however, from reading the reviews on the replacement battery it is obvious that many people are having problems with these batteries. It is a good vacuum, but the replacement batteries are a big problem. I would look for another brand vacuum if I had it to do over. My original battery lasted about a year, too.

I have yet to replace mine. And I've had teh unit for a number of years now. I suppose the battery life will depend how heavily it is used. Mine is moderately used.

I have one of these...use it daily & can expect about 6 months to a year from it before I have to charge the batteries.I use rechargeable batteries in mine.I believe the length of time it will last, depends on how often it is used, & what the quality of the batteries are.Example: Duracell bateries will outlast store brand name batteries by a long shot....

Mine lasted just under 2 years. I am now having to decide if I replace the battery or just buy another type of cordless vacuum.

Any B&D; 20V Lithium battery will work. They only differ in their power capacity. I have all 3 types - LB20 Type 1 is rated for 22Wh; LBX20 Type 3 is rated for 26Wh and LBXR20 Type 4 is rated at 30Wh.
