  • The Evolution of Black and Decker Batteries: From NiCd to 20V Lithium

    Posted by kevin obroy on August 22, 2025 at 9:42 am

    Black and Decker has come a long way in the world of cordless tool batteries. In the past, most of their tools relied on NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) batteries, which were bulky, heavy, and lost charge quickly. These older batteries also suffered from the “memory effect,” meaning they would gradually lose capacity if not fully discharged before charging again. As technology advanced, Black and Decker shifted to NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride), which offered some improvements but still lacked long-lasting performance. The real breakthrough came with the Black and Decker 20V Lithium Battery, which changed how DIYers and professionals use cordless tools. These lithium-ion packs are lighter, hold a charge longer, and deliver consistent power from start to finish. They also recharge faster and don’t suffer from the memory effect. For homeowners, this means more convenience and less downtime. For professionals, it means reliable performance on the job. Today, the 20V lithium line is the backbone of Black and Decker’s cordless tool system. It represents efficiency, portability, and modern battery technology working at its best.
