The description states "40-Volt". Numerous comments state "36 Volt". Which is it? Are we talking the same unit? Did B&D increase the voltage?

It's the same unit. Voltage of a battery will vary somewhat based on its state of charge, so a statement of the voltage of a battery is a "nominal" value, not precise. This unit probably charges to a maximum of 40v, with a typical voltage of 36v and somewhat less as the charge is depleted.

This type of battery is made by stacking 1.2V cells, so the true voltage will always be a multiple of that (thus the common 9.6V, 14.4V etc values).

I don't know what these guys are talking about but the 36V one is the old model. 40V replaced it. All the 36V Black and Decker tools have been updated to 40V.

Not this model number only120 volts. But it the best rice cooker ever. Find the 230volt one. I lived in Hawaii and rice is a must have by far this is my favorite rice cooker

I use a slightly different model but I would be 99% sure that it is dual voltage. Every conair I've used has been. (It drives me nuts that they don't clearly state that info). I'd be pretty confident though.

It is a 36v. I bought it to interchange with the Black and Decker weed eater. The battery lasts about an hour and a half which is perfect for me since I have back problems. It is light weight which was a must for me. For me, it was perfect.

usually 110 volts USA..100 Volts could ne inadequate.. Check with B&D Japan affiliate

The battery in mine is a 9 volt. Just FYI, I have not had to change the battery yet. Note: I do not use it often.

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 one I bought was already set up to run 24 volt. It's in the directions.

Yes it's a heater and a air conditioner. Not sure the voltage specs exactly but I would google that part to be sure it is what you need voltage wise. Overall a great buy just louder than most units but blows cold and heats the space I needed it for. Hope this helps in your decision making for the unit. Signed: Satisfied customer

Joe, I was out of the country until a couple days ago - so could not check the unit. It is 110 v, 60 hz, only, NOT 110-230 v as many units are today. Have a great day. Sincerely Roger

I do not know why in the product information it states 20v but I have had this unit for 6 months now using my 18 volt porter-cable batteries ....it works great

We believe it's a 9 volt. We haven't had to change it. Over all we are very happy with it.

There was a slide switch to set the voltage output. My unit went up in smoke as soon as plugged in. It also damaged the equipment it was plugged into. My recommendation is not to use, send it back for a refund before your other equipment is damaged. T H

I just looked over enclosed instructions and box. The only information listed- 7.5 voltage for plug in adapter. Nothing about bivolt. You might want to give Clarity a call for more information-

I don't know, since I had not returned one. I would think you need to contact B&D; for the warranty.

Sorry - don't know. I returned mine because the battery smoked on its first or second use. I have learned black and decker no longer makes the unit. Sorry ggod luck

Does anybody knows what is the voltage output of the adapter cord for the BG2040? (it can be seen on the adapter), I have two of them and have to decide.Thanks
