I have 18v charger used for years for B&D batteries. Will it be good for the NiMh battery or are there special chargers??

I have used the regular slow chargers just fine, even my BD charger/radio... Works fine

Experts insist that NiMh wants different charging than NiCd.I got B&D;'s BDFC240, which can recharge it faster, then stop to avoid overcharging.The BDFC240 also avoids overcharging regular B&D; NiCd batteries,which lack the third connection to enable faster charging.

To tell the truth, it depends upon the charger that you are using. If you are using the one that came with battery and simply slides onto the battery, it has no way of knowing when the battery is charged and will keep pumping current into the batter, unless you disconnect it, and will eventually "fry" the battery. Doesn't matter if it is NiCad or NiMh.Do yourself a favor and buy the "Black & Decker FSMVC 9.6-Volt to 18-Volt Slide Style Battery Charger". It regulates the charge and won't fry the battery. I've been using two of them for over a year and have not fried NiMh batteries, so far! To tell the truth, it depends upon the charger that you are using.

I have two B&D; 18v changers. One is clearly marked for both NiMh and NiCad the other is marked only for NiCad batteries. If you look at the black label below the red charge state light, you may see NiMh/NiCD for chargers that are intended for use with both types of battery. Older B&D; chargers may work just fine with NiMh batteries but it is also possible that that my under or over charge the battery and shorten its life.

-sorry, can't answer . I bought a NiMh battery, which arrived dead. -returned it, and was never sent a replacement even after several follow-ups. I've lost faith in Amazon.

Any battery recharger that can accept NiMH batteries will work. I personally like my "MAHA MH-C9000" a lot. It's reliable, fast and doesn't wear the batteries excessively by allowing them to get too hot while charging. (Cheap chargers can do this and you end up paying what you saved buying the cheap charger on replacement batteries that stop working before they should.)

Yes, it works fine with my old charger. My MagCharger flashlight is 25+ years old so it is definitely an old charger. The original battery was a NiCd and this NiHM battery charges just fine in the old charger.

These batteries can be charged with any charger that charges NiMh batteries. It should say that on the charger's package. When charged, you just use these batteries like any other batteries, based on the size. For example, the "D" cell batteries can be used on any appliance that takes "D" cell batteries.

It will work with NiMH I think but you need a castle link to turn the low voltage cut off. Might want to think about getting some lipo batteries. You won't regret the decision.

YES IT WILL WITH NiMH. A battery is still a battery no matter how the voltage is produced. If not found locally, go to www.BatteryMart.com They carry everything in batteries.

I found the specs for this on the back of my package. On the back it says: Charge both 8.4v and 9.6v NiMH 9V battery. It looks like it will work for a 9.6 volt if it is a NiMH battery.

Based on my research, yes. Be sure to check your charger. The B & D battery is NiCad and the ExpertPower is NiMh. I have two B & D chargers, one will charger both batter types and the other only charges NiCad.

No - according to the back of the original package, only Ni-MH batteries should be used in the charger. I hope this helps!

No, that charger only charges NiCD batteries. These are NiMH batteries so you will need to get the B&D; model #BDFC240 which will do both types NiCD and NiMH.

The primary problem is that NiMH batteries do not like to be force-fed/overcharged, andthat is exactly what NiCd "low-end" chargers do: they are basically constant-current"trickle" chargers (low current, takes many hours to charge, then keep feeding thissame charging current even after the NiCd is fully charged). NiCd batteries just shrugoff this excess charging current, but it will eventually "cook" your NiMHs.That said, NiMH will pack much more punch into given size...so if you don't leave it onconstant charge (drain it, charge it overnight, then unplug it once "properly" charged)it should work quite well.Of course if you ditch the crappy little wallwart "charger" and hook it up to a properNiMH charger, it'll work Great!

I have looked on my charger and it doesn't show anything about that type of battery only ni-mh.i would just email the company.ive sent them questions before and they replied fairly quickly.hope this helps and I've had this charger for over a year and no problems so far

Sounds like you want to use a NiMH charger (7.2v) for the LiPO battery (7.4v). No, that won't work... it will likely burn up the battery. You have to use a LiPO charger.

i have not rec'd mine yet so i can't be sure.I have an older charger that will do NiCad and nimh. it takes 13 hours ti do a set of 2 or 4. some batteries can be charged faster than others so I guess some chargers might charge faster than others.

Yes, the Battery will work with the truck, assuming the connector is the same (Should be). However, you can not use the NiCd Charger with the NiMH battery. The charging profile is different (How the charger charges the battery) and will damage the NiMH battery.This Charger Tenergy Universal Smart Charger for RC/ Airsoft Battery/ NiMH/NiCd Battery Packs (6V - 12V) will work with both battery types, and is fairly inexpensive.

The charger in the package you mentioned has the same model number (BCG-34HLD) as the one in this product page. So the only difference is in the four AA batteries included. Personally, I don't trust any NiMH AA cells with capacity 2500mAh or over. They all suffer from rapid-self-discharge problem after a few cycles. That's why I recommend using only low-self-discharge (Pre-Charged) type, such as those 2000mAh cells included in this package.

If it is an 18 volt drill with a shoe mount this battery should work. If it's the high output standard or a Ni-Cad it does not matter. The only problem is the old style battery will not work in the Ni-Cad Charger.
