How long can you use it before the battery dies?

We have used it for maybe 2 hrs at a time. But since we have other Black & Decker units (I reccomend them all) we have 5 batteries total, so I always start with a fully charged one.

I have a factory slow charger and a quick charger with 5 batteries. So swapping out batteries is no issue with my small yard. But if you have no tools already using the 18V B&D;, best go with a newer model with better battery life.

I don't know. I have never run the battery all the way down. I have always run down first. It takes hours to recharge fully, though, even if you only use it to trim a bush or two.

I have never timed it but have been very pleased. I would guess 45 min. It works very good.

I've run mine for over 2 hours but never until the battery ran out. I hope that helps.

It is good for 5 hours or more. When you tap the button on the ear piece bar and say battery, it will tell how much time you have left.

I would guess a little longer but how much I have no idea. Its not a deep cycle battery so draining it and then recharging it over and over will basically kill it fairly fast. You really need a deep cycle battery for that kind of application

Battery life is fair. It depends on usage. 3-4 hours can be used when it fuly charged.

I can't answer that. The battery is charged prior to use. Perhaps you could contact manufacturer.

I have never been able to use it for long enough to run the battery out. It is just too small for my fat fingers, but it will last a long time if you can bear to use it.

It lasts for about 20+ minutes, but I don't use it for long except for short sessions. Please note, it's best when the battery is allowed to drained and then recharged to prevent memory effect. Most folks set it back in the charger which is the worse thing you can do.

Not long. 20-30 minutes max. Mine came with an extra battery, which makes it use able. You always have to have a spare charged. Other than battery life, it works great.

you can but it will only last roughly around 60 hours depending on the batteries. That is a very wide range estimate, keep in mind.

Greetings. Theoretically speaking, the batteries can last 100-120 hours. But it will also be affected by the battery type and usage. Thanks for your question.

Usually the battery last between 4 to 6 hours. Just make sure you don't drain the battery. When you see that the battery is almost gone, charge it to prolong the battery life.

You can use it after recharging it for only a half an hour or less, but I would recommend fully charging it. The time it takes to charge depends on your power source.

Haven't used it for more than 4 hours, don't know exactly how long it would last. Would expect not to have less than 6 hours of usage from it at its depletion rate. Battery life becomes a non-issue with this battery.

My battery last for a while. About 2-3 months, but I think it depends on how much it has to be used. The batteries are cheap at Walmart.

It hard to say but I leave mine on charge the day prior to using for a period of time. I can get about 7hrs playtime.

The most I have had battery life is a little over 2 hrs. If you charge it and don't use it right away it will die. But honestly for the money its a good price. Hope this helps.
