Does this ship with the NiMH or the NiCD Battery?

I have no idea. The battery does not have either number on it. Maybe the seller would know. All I know is the light is very bright and so far I'm satisfied with it.

I wish that I could be more definite but can't. The instruction booklet states to use only NiCd battery #75175 or NiMH battery #75375. I don't know which is shipped with the light. I would have to open the light to see the type and that is not recommended except when changing one.

I am almost 100% sure it shipped with the NiMH battery but the previous model that I still have and had to replace the battery before buying this model ( paid 14.99 for a NiCD battery to make it last another 10 years ) did have the NiCD battery. When I talked to the folks at the factory in Eaglesville, PA who fixed my old streamlight flashlight they say the new model might never need a battery if I keep it on charge 24/7 like I did with the older model. Hope this helps

If you look at Joel Miller's review, he has a video where he takes the product apart (and voids his warranty). He points out the battery is a Ni-Metal Hydride. Hope that helps your decision.

If you're ordering a new battery go with the NiMh battery. Also they use the same charger so you can buy a standard stinger charger. I also ordered the TerraLux LED upgrade for my stinger and Love it, Love it, Love it. Barely have to use my maglite anymore because my stinger is just as bright now and it is a lot easier to handle. Hope it helps!

It comes with a NiMH battery and charges through the USB when plugged into your computer

Short answer, yes. Long answer is NI-MH is a newer type of battery make up that can hold power longer than the older Ni-cd batteries.

Good question! We've only had this unit a short time but other experiences with lithium batteries proves they really outperform nicd.

Yes, it came with the standard NiCad 18v batt. I later bought the 20v lit. Both are amazing tools, the lith running a little faster but not worth the extra buck. I love b&d.

Danil, You have to pay attention the part number. The 6708, which I own, comes with a NiMH battery and charger. The 6708L comes with a Lipo battery and charger.

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.

Just to clarify, it is in fact an NiMH battery per Shark's page. Part SV1106 is the part: http://www.sharkclean.com/parts/0/all/301/sv1106-144-volt-battery/

From the manual:"VP100, VP100C and VP105C batteries are Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) cells. VP110 and VP110C batteries are Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH). NiMH cells provide the user with increased run time, as a result charge time increases respectively."

I wouldn't base the decision on what battery comes with it, especially since you can get 5000 mAh packs for around $30 that are NiMH, not NiCd, which I believe is what these tanks typically ship with. NiMH batteries don't suffer from the same memory effect issues that NiCd batteries do.

Designed only for NiCad and NiMH. I haven't and won't try lithium or other batteries.

I used the nicd battery. it worked fine. This is a pretty good unit for the price. it came with two blades, one fine-toothed for metal and one larger-toothed blade for wood. That was a happy surprise.

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.

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.

We bought 2 pairs of NiMH rechargeable AA batteries, along with a charger. You can play almost 2 rounds on a charge. NiMH last longer than NiCad.
