Are the 18 volt ni-cd batteries interchangeable with my hedge trimmer? Also thinking about a blower

If your hedge trimmer is also made by Black & Decker, I assume it would. However, I am not sure if 18 V batteries made by someone other than B & D would work. The configuration of the battery is critical.

I have a B&D; blower that these batteries fit. Can't say about the hedge trimmer.

They Sure are! I actually just went and purchased two more spare 18v Single Source battery packs for my own yard tools yesterday and if you kept the package it says right on the front Compatible with all Black and Decker 18v Slide pack Tools, Also it has the pictures on the front showing it fitting different tools! It's Handy!

Hi Connie, I have no idea if they are since I don't have a B&D; battery hedge trimmer. Easy solution....call a B&D; dealer and they could tell you.

I bought the lst1018 lithium trimmer. The lithium batteries don't work in the hedge trimmer and it appears from the contacts on the batteries that the lithium batteries are not interchangeable with the NiCad batteries. The NiCad battery won't slide into the Lithium tool and the Lithium battery slides into the NiCad tool but won't power it.

I use the same battery in my 24 volt leaf blower and hedge trimmer. They all need to be 24 volt.

I use mine on different tool's so I guess the batteries are interchangeable with any battery but mine are the heavy duty ones

In my experience (2 20v drills, 2 20v blowers and 2 20v string trimmers at 2 houses) the 20v batteries outlast the 18v by at least twice the use time. In addition, they charge faster and do NOT suffer from the nicad "memory" effect where they will not take a full charge. A far better product. The batteries are NOT interchangeable: your 18v batteries will NOT work with a 20v tool and the 20v batteries will NOT work with an 18v tool.

The 18v is incompatible with the trimmer. the 18v battery has a single slot and the trimmer will only accept a dual slot 24 v battery

the battery (WA3520) used in "WG255" Hedge Trimmer is the same as the one used in the "WG155" string trimmer -- so the answer is yes

Melanie, truthfully I don't know. Purchased this along with the blower. So now I have two batteries in case I'm trying and I need a recharge. These are a tad heavier than regular electric trimmers, but can trim without hesitation in a rainy environment and don't have to get out cord. Depending on your use, I would expect 2-3 years out of them. Don't know for sure, threw all paperwork away. I use them all the time on hollies and regular hedge and have been well pleased with their positives as I mentioned before. Much better than the old Black and Decker cordless I used to have. Hope this helps. Dr. Speck

The battery from this unit is is compatible with the 24272 24V blower, 21322 24V string trimmer/edger and the 20182 24V chainsaw.

I have a blower and a trimmer (don't remember the model numbers), and the batteries are NOT interchangeable.

Yes and NO. The Lithium Ion Batteries will work great in these and all other 18 Volt tools, BUT you need a Lithium Battery charger as the Ni-Cd battery charger will overcharge and potentially create a fire. Lithium is very flammable in air. Special care must be taken when charging these batteries, but they last longer and take repeated recharges.

This is always the case with B&D; customer service. They know less than you do and they never call back. I asked if the new 18 volt lithium battery they have is interchangeable with the other 18 volt tools and I never could get an answer.

Yes the battery is interchangeable only if the drill requires 12V. They have an 18V drill as well. Try not to mix a 18V battery with a 12V drill. I had a 12V drill with 2 batterys. I lost the drill with a battery on it. So I bought a drill without a battery and it works. Hope that helps.

I believe so. This uses the same 20 volt LiON battery as the B&D; string trimmer, driver & hedge trimmer I also own. As other users have said, this thing is loud. But it is effective and gave me one more battery to use with my other tools.

Yes, the batteries are compatible. Also, depending on who you buy from, the cultivator I got came with one of those exact same batteries. That same battery will work for other black and decker products like the drill and the leaf blower.

Yes, works great! I bought the Toro trimmer, also has a battery it is inter-changable! Both trimmer and blower both have batteries and charger!!

I have the Craftsman 20" twin blade mower, as well as the GreenWorks blower and edger with both makes of batteries. They are interchangeable.
