I'm need to put into a B&amp;D Hedhog hedge trimmer which uses 244760-00 battery. My trimmer has two contact points, but this has 3. Will it still work?

The 3rd contact is for thermal sensor for smart 18v charger to prevent heat damage to the battery while charging

I use the same battery in my 24 volt leaf blower and hedge trimmer. They all need to be 24 volt.

Yes. I called B&D; about that as I have the 36v string trimmer and liked it enough to see if they could both use the same battery. The Guy from B&D; told me the 40v and 36v batteries were identical, and compatible with either tool. He said they both had the same capacity and voltage, and the 36v was putting out 40 v anyway (or was it charging at 40v?) - anyway, the change in voltage was more of a marketing decision because the battery was originally conservatively labeled. We sort of came to the conclusion in conversation that there has been a serious "voltage inflation" by competing tool makers and B&D; just relabeled it. No redesign, though. Yes.

I have 2 batteries for use on my drill and hedge trimmer. Thy are now about 1 year old and have never had a problem. It is important that you do not leave batteries discharged for long periods. When I use the battery, I put it on charge immediately. A charged battery will store fine, a discharged battery will not. If you did not leave the battery discharged, I would suggest that there is a problem with the charger and, since the battery will need to be charged quickly, I would also suggest that you need to do something about this quickly.

I had the old black batteries which I believe were the 244760-00. I did order new batteries and the HPB18-OPE2 batteries work as good if not better than the original black batteries. I believe the new version of the battery will work as a general replacement for all of the old 244760-00 batteries. I use the batteries on a weed eater and blower interchangeably. Great replacements.

Go to the blackanddecker.com home page and view the 20 v max battery list of tools. This battery works with both trimmers and tools such as drills, etc.. Too many to list.

Melanie, truthfully I don't know. Purchased this along with the blower. So now I have two batteries in case I'm trying and I need a recharge. These are a tad heavier than regular electric trimmers, but can trim without hesitation in a rainy environment and don't have to get out cord. Depending on your use, I would expect 2-3 years out of them. Don't know for sure, threw all paperwork away. I use them all the time on hollies and regular hedge and have been well pleased with their positives as I mentioned before. Much better than the old Black and Decker cordless I used to have. Hope this helps. Dr. Speck

I have found the batteries to be interchangeable with the other B&D; garden equipment, but no experience with the hedge trimmer specifically. Trust me it needs this flexibility ;). I would not recommend this product btw. It always runs out before the job is done!

I think B & D has upgraded all of their 36v hand-held tools to use the new 40v battery, very recently. As far as I can tell, all of the tools kept the same model numbers (yes, including the old "36" for voltage). The B & D website says the new 40v batteries are, quote: "fully compatible with our 36 Volt lithium ion system". I think that means you can use any mix of 36v and 40v, between tool, charger, and battery pack. I bought the 36v hedge and string trimmers last year, sharing one battery between them (thumbs up, BTW). Planned to buy a 2nd battery, and came across this confusing new wrinkle. But that's my impression now, after doing some internet searching. I think the new batteries are not only 4v higher (meaning 1 more cell in the pack?), but also higher capacity as well (2.0 Ah instead of the old 1.5 Ah). I think this is where they get their "up to 33% longer runtime" claim from. Very useful if true.

I looked at the WG265 Hedge Trimmer on the Worx website which looks like it only can handle the 24-Volt battery. I would not mix and match the batteries as I have found with some of the earlier products that if they are not built for the recommended battery, the product may cease to function. I currently only have the 24V Trimmer so the interchange for me works fine.

The one pictured has only 2. However, all 24v B&D; batteries, whether 2 or 3, are compatibe. I have nearly all of the B&D; tools and have purchase every 24v battery that has been offered. Regardless of whether a battery has 2 or 3 prongs it will work. The possible exception is that in some cases there is a very small piece of plastic molded in that has to be removed--cut or filed off.

I suggest before you order this that you call Greenworks at 1-888-9099-6757 to make sure that there is an authorized shop in your area that will service your trimmer during the warranty period. Since I live in Hawaii, when I checked with Greenworks, there is no authorized shop on the island of Oahu. Although the Greenworks representative said I would return it to Amazon if the battery or trimmer failed within their respective warranty periods, Amazon's response to this was that I can only return it to Amazon during the first 30 days of my purchase. After that, I would have to send it to a nearest authorized service center which I'm assuming would be on the west coast. So I'll see if it's available through the local Home Depot. I'd rather pay more but be able to return it to Home Depot if I have any problems with the battery or trimmer.

I believe so. This uses the same 20 volt LiON battery as the B&D; string trimmer, driver & hedge trimmer I also own. As other users have said, this thing is loud. But it is effective and gave me one more battery to use with my other tools.

You are talking about the battery . The spool takes the blue one . I use the green one . You should order Weedeater .065 x 200 . The last 5 digits of the UPC # is 02073 .

I have the hedge trimmer weed eater matrix drill and pole trimmer and the same battery works. As long as it calls for 20v lithium.

They round the voltage in the description. It's the same 36 volt battery on other B&D; models so if you've already got one you don't really need another unless you want a spare (less expensive than purchasing separately) or need to do a lot of gardening at once. Look at the model # - 24 is the length, 36 is the voltage. Now if you are asking because you want to do something funky with the battery - I don't know the exact measured voltage. It is a good hedge cutter.

The battery has two prongs, it is labeled FS240BX. If your old battery has three, you should call and reference Black & Decker.
