Really appreciate your video, especially where you showed how to remove the battery at 3:40 since the instruction booklet did not show or explain it correctly.
Black&Decker is making excellent lithium power tools these days. I bought one of their 20V Lithium drills, and that thing is a beast. Drives 3" deck screws like a corded DeWalt drill....without the slippage and stripping of screw heads like corded models are bad for. I have a corded electric weedeater that I'm getting sick and tired of, so I'll probably spend the money and get one of these 36V Black&Deckers, and save myself the hassle of dragging a cord around the yard.
I bought one of these and i love it. I get about 30 min on 1 but I stop when it goes down to 1 bar left on the meter. I'm hoping by not running it completely dead the battery will last longer. It only takes 35 minutes to charge from 1 bar. I run for 30 minutes take a break and give my arms a rest and then 35 minutes later I'm back at it.
brushed 36v of an unknown manufacturer (haven't opened it up), and the speed controller is completely variable between 1 and 6 used in conjunction with a trigger style switch.
my corded model has that same spool and cap and I managed to fit 095 ugly line in it and it still auto feeds it but saves a lot of line while cutting. the spool hook slot did bend slightly when hooking the line after wrapping the new line but did not break .
if it fits there might be two instances : 1) It works, but Power = Volts * Current and if you decrease the volts from the source (battery), then a higher current draw will happen from the same source (battery again!). That mightn't be cool in the long run 2) These batteries have all sorts of gimmicks and voltage regulators built into them, so its possible it may not start at all. Long story short, try to pair a 36 V battery on a 36 V tool .
Yeah, that seems about right. I might have only got about 40 ish minutes running on one, but that's more trimming than I usually do at once, lol. Thanks for watching.
