What's the battery technology? What's the difference from BGR+? Thanks.

The battery life is good for anything I have been using it for. I am not sure what the difference is between the two sorry wish I could help more.

Only Battery I use is Optima "Yellow top" longer life designed specifically for electronic applications and many charge/discharge cycles. It is very expensive, but you will be glad you bought it. My first one lasted 19 years. That's more than 4 conventional batteries.Blue top is for boating, red top automotive. Some peeps like a huge capacity by going with multiples of 6 volt. But this is the simple fix.

An swer here..when i purchased the batterys i was looking for a good long lasting battery an not a legal battle over technical stuff. Also in your question you wrote with current tech only about 3600mah. Notice the word about! You may be correct but you may not have found all the facts yet either. But beside all the technical an nit picking things it is a good battery an has served its purpose for me so far.

One is based on NiMH and the other is Lithium-ion. I've used the NiMH and I'm not at all happy with the welding/mechanical connection on the negative side of the battery. Both are Low Self Discharge (LSD) which is good. I'd go for it and get the LiON 9v @600mAh -- In theory it should last 3x longer. These NiMH 9v are "claimed to be LSD" but I get poor shelf life, nothing like the Sanyo 'White Label AA" which are fantastic NiHM LSD batteries. I've had superior results with Lithium-ion, but you pay the price. You will have to run your own tests and real world applications. I'd buy the set with the 4 batteries and the recharger (as they are only asking a bit over $2 for the charger -- some batteries can be touchy with what charger is charging them. Would enjoy seeing your feedback on your experience.

I think B & D has upgraded all of their 36v hand-held tools to use the new 40v battery, very recently. As far as I can tell, all of the tools kept the same model numbers (yes, including the old "36" for voltage). The B & D website says the new 40v batteries are, quote: "fully compatible with our 36 Volt lithium ion system". I think that means you can use any mix of 36v and 40v, between tool, charger, and battery pack. I bought the 36v hedge and string trimmers last year, sharing one battery between them (thumbs up, BTW). Planned to buy a 2nd battery, and came across this confusing new wrinkle. But that's my impression now, after doing some internet searching. I think the new batteries are not only 4v higher (meaning 1 more cell in the pack?), but also higher capacity as well (2.0 Ah instead of the old 1.5 Ah). I think this is where they get their "up to 33% longer runtime" claim from. Very useful if true.

Oops, I have 3 different type. You are correct our takes a fat barrel type of battery. Quick I still don't have a charger for but still be looking into one.

B00FONBG1A has a 200mAh batteryB00J2OVN74 has a 320mAh batteryB00KZ0J452 has the 200mAh battery but a slightly bigger FOV (140 Vs 120) and completely black caseB00JJ3SQRI has a Capacitor Check DashCamTalk for more information.

I tried the 300 and 450 mah turnigy nanotechs from hobbyking. the 450 fits without cutting, but it's a tight fit. Good power from both. Like any battery, adjust the cg to get it to fly the way you want. As predicted, the heavier battery can make the plane fly faster with a heavier nose, and also require a longer landing strip.

I'm not aware of any upgrades to the battery, and I'm not sure that would work -- the larger batteries are definitely larger. If you want a 222Wh battery, buy it -- just be aware of its size and weight. While I would love to have that much power storage, I opted for the smaller 100Wh model because it fit better into my computer bag. As for the battery, I love it. It more than doubles my runtime on a 17" macbook pro, enabling me to get a full day away from an outlet while running Windows 7 (running OS X gets another hour or two of runtime over Windows).

Your question was not stupid, in spite of what the other person said. Many people do not understand the subtle differentiation between the different models, and if you're planning on charging an AGM battery these differences are important. The Battery Tender (non-Plus version) and the Battery Tender Plus are different chargers which behave differently. If you have an AGM battery, you want to use the Plus version, not the regular Battery Tender. Both the regular Battery Tender and the Battery Tender Plus have an absorption charge mode, but the maximum charge voltage is different for the non-Plus vs. the Plus version. This is because the AGM battery requires a higher voltage than the Battery tenders designed for conventional wet-cell lead-acid batteries were designed to deliver. The Plus version, which came after the regular version, uses a higher voltage that is required by the AGM type of battery. The lower voltage of the non-plus version will partially charge the AGM battery and go into maintenance mode prematurely. It will not fully charge an AGM battery so it will not do as good a job. The Plus version also has a timer to hold the absorption voltage longer than the non-Plus version. These specific changes in the Plus model were made to accommodate the charging requirements of Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) style lead acid batteries. Although a Battery Tender (non-Plus) will "charge" an AGM battery most of the way, it doesn't fully charge the battery as well as the Plus version. For an AGM battery you want the Plus variant, for a non-AGM battery you want the non-Plus variant.

I have the LST420, and it comes with (2)LBXR2020-OPE batteries, each battery last about half the time as the battery in the LST-400. Its a matter pf preference I guess. The batteries with the LST420 are also 3rd generation or the newest B&D; currently has out.

Neither. This battery isn't programmed like the other batteries. When you pop it in it will say cannot communicate with battery(you click ok) and start using it. Then after a long time, the battery will die and you dont know when. But they give 2 batteries and i think its a good trade instead of spending 200$ on the name brand.

Not much difference in weight. Unless you want to get the lithium-ion. Which is a lighter battery.

I have a La-Crosse BC-1000 which I have used to it's fullest potential. It's a very intelligent and powerful charger allowing you to charge at different amperages (higher for quicker re-charge and lower for a better recharge) as well as being able to completely de-charge to eliminate battery memory issues that don't allow a full charge. You can charge AA's and AAA's at the same time and each of the 4 positions is independent of the other. In other words, when one cell is charged, it will discontinue charging the fully charged one and continue charging with the rest and so on. There a little spendy, but to get the most out of your batteries for years of use, it's a great charger.

M_ENGLE and DUSTY comments contradicts what Bob commented...I want to use this device for load testing and confirm the condition of any battery......who am i to be believe now, because am about to place order.

Robert,I believe I have both and have notice no difference between the two. I don't let them run down and keep them on a regular charging cycle.
