What's the difference between this and the Black & Decker L2ACF-OPE 20V MAX Lithium Ion Fast Charger?

It takes forever to charge. That is why I ordered the fast charger and have 2 batteries. I use one battery and put the other on the charger and get the job done without having to wait.

I have the 12AFCBST with a green button for fast charging. I looked at the L2ACF-OPE ad and it promos the same thing.I would call the local B&D; shop or email B&D; customer service.

B&D; L2AFCBST has a Flash charge that will charge up to 30% within 10 minutes this is the better buy
2022555
As previously stated by Mr. Gallo, the additional feature of the Flash Charge button on the B&D; L2AFCBST charger will get a battery in this series running in some 10 minutes with a 30% charge from zero, a feature the B&D; L2AFC-OPE does not have. This, in and of itself, may be a deciding factor in which fast charger you purchase depending on your needs and the number of batteries you own. The difference in price between the two units in relatively minor.

I don't know where you got this info, but the high capacity chargers for both devices are rated at 5VDC, 2.1A. So NO. And, if you charge at a faster rate the battery will fry!

I checked the black and decker site and the batteries look the same, the only difference is that the model number for the flashlight battery has an "R" in it - LBXR20, the voltages are the same

I don't know. I long ago gave up using both of mine because they only have a charged life span of about 45 minutes. Max. Pretty disappointed.

The unit I recieved came with a fast charger unit. The 20v battery is interchangeable with my WORX weed eater.

A 20v Lithium battery is equivalent to an 18v nicad. They will both put out 18v to the tool. The Lithium battery is much smaller, lighter and holds a charge longer.

The correct answer may depend on the charger you are using. I bought the Black & Decker L2AFCBST Lithium Ion Fast Charger with Flash Charge. When the green light is blinking the unit is fast charging the battery. When the green light is on but not blinking it is maintaining the charge on the battery. Of course when there is no battery in the charging unit the light is off. With this fast charger, I have never seen the blinking continue more than 3 to 5 minutes. I have a flashlight, a drill and a chain saw which I use the batteries on. This B-D 20v system is excellent in my opinion. Hope they come out with more tools that use them.

I can't access the charger to determine the model number however I can tell you that it is the original charger that was purchased with the 18 volt implements that I have. I still switch out an 18 volt battery with the new 20 volt battery, both being charged on this charger. The original 18 volt implements work fine with the 20 volt battery. I did some research on the Worx site and concluded that the change to 20 volt was a reasoned decision taken by Worx and does not appear to be a work-around designed to leave the 18 volt implements in some sort of lesser position. When my second 18 volt battery ceases functioning I will buy a second 20 volt battery and continue to use my original "18 volt" charger.

I couldn't figure out the difference either, but with the price of the batteries, I didn't want to take any chances. The XCP batteries said to get the 2021 and they seem to be far better batteries, so it is worth buying that charger.

yes I think they are the same, the difference they are designed for different mah (mili amp hours), this determines their output and service between charges. the larger the mah, the stronger the battery

The two that I bought had kind of narrow power cube chargers with a USB connector. Much faster charging from line than from a computer (higher current). The charger will also charge any device with a USB plug.

just received mine and yes the 20v lithium which fits on the craftsman bolt on also fits this pruner and vice versa. BD 20v lithium also charges in the bolt on charger as well. Nice to have the small ac charger that comes with the pruner and the larger bolt on rapid charger. Lots of interchangeability.

The charger unit is a Li- Ion charger. Model : LX-084120. Input voltage 100-240 volts; 50/60 HZ.; output voltage to batteriesis 8.4 volts at 1.2 amps. This information came off the charger label.

The difference are the batteries, the charger has the same model # BQ-CC17.The "pro" batteries have a capacity of 2450mAh but only 500 recharge cycles, the "non pro" batteries have a capacity of 2000mAh but the famous ____2100____ recharge cycles. The charger is slow, but that is the method Panasonic uses to get 2100 cycles. So it is a trade off, more power for the same time period, 25% more, (or same power for 25% longer) but at 500 recharge cycles versus 2100 cycles. Hope that helps CC

According to web sites including http://servicenet.blackanddecker.com/Parts/Detail/277115, It looks like the BD12PS & DB12PSK use the same as the PS1200K, which is listed in http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-5102767-08-Battery-Charger/dp/B003FJDQKE.
