Black + Decker 20V MAX Replacement Batteries

BLACK+DECKER says any 20V MAX POWERCONNECT battery can be used with any BLACK+DECKER tool designed for 20V MAX batteries. CEENR 5.0, 6.0 and 8.0Ah packs use the same slide and replace the LBXR20, LBXR2020, LBXR2520, LB2X3020, LB2X4020, LBD1520S, LBD2020S and LBD4020S. They do not fit BLACK+DECKER products with a built-in battery, even ones labeled 20V MAX, or 12V, 16V, 40V and 60V MAX tools.

No. Each tool brand uses its own battery footprint, contacts and latch, so a BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX battery, BLACK+DECKER's own or a CEENR replacement, fits BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX tools and not other brands' tools. CEENR's cross-brand option is the PDnation™ Universal Power Platform: with the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Brand Mount, one PDnation battery runs the tools listed on that mount's page, and with another brand's mount, that brand's tools. A Brand Mount works only with a PDnation battery; it does not put a BLACK+DECKER battery on another brand's tool.

No, in either direction. BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX, Craftsman V20 and Porter-Cable 20V MAX are separate Stanley Black & Decker platforms, and each one's tool manuals list only its own packs. CEENR makes a separate pack for each brand, so buy the one for your tool.

It depends on which 18V tool you have. 20V MAX is the no-load maximum and 18V the nominal voltage of the same pack, and in Europe BLACK+DECKER sells the 20V MAX slide system as 18V POWERCONNECT. In North America, BLACK+DECKER 18V usually means the older NiCd tools with HPB18-type packs, which are a different system and do not take 20V MAX packs. CEENR BLACK+DECKER batteries are 20V MAX slide packs and do not fit those older 18V NiCd tools.

All three use the same BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX slide and voltage; a higher capacity just runs longer between charges. The 6.0Ah is the best balance of runtime, weight and price for drills, drivers and impact tools; the 8.0Ah gives 33% more runtime than the 6.0Ah for string trimmers, blowers and chainsaws; the 5.0Ah is the lightest pack, for overhead work. BLACK+DECKER's own largest 20V MAX packs are 4.0Ah, so all three are a capacity upgrade; the taller, heavier 8.0Ah is not listed for the BDCCS20 circular saw.

Yes. CEENR replacement batteries for BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX charge on BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX chargers such as the LCS1620 and BDCAC202; larger packs take proportionally longer on slow cup chargers. It also works the other way: the CEENR 6A fast charger for BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX charges 20V MAX slide batteries from 1.5Ah to 8.0Ah, BLACK+DECKER's own or CEENR, and a 6.0Ah pack is ready in roughly an hour.

A CEENR replacement battery is a drop-in pack for BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX tools and has no USB port. A PDnation™ battery, from CEENR's Universal Power Platform, has two-way USB-C built in, so it is a power bank on its own, and with the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Brand Mount (sold separately) it runs the tools listed on that mount's page. The 45W USB-C power adapter is not a battery: it clips onto a BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX slide battery (1.5Ah to 8.0Ah), BLACK+DECKER's own or CEENR, to charge phones, tablets and USB-C laptops.

It runs small electronics that together draw 150W or less: a laptop and monitor, an LED work light, a small fan, a Wi-Fi router or modem, and phone, camera and battery chargers. The inverter clips onto a BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX slide battery, BLACK+DECKER's own or CEENR, and turns it into a standard US 120V / 60Hz AC outlet; a bigger battery runs your devices longer. It is not for high-watt appliances such as space heaters, kettles, microwaves, coffee makers or hair dryers.
