B&amp;D said the LST420 [sold separately] is identical to the LST400 in this combo. Can anybody verify? Is B&amp;D using diff. #s cause of orig. battery?

it's all about the batteries. I purchased the LCC420 not LST. The combo trimmer/blower came with the 3rd generation lithium battery 4020 which stands for 4 amp hrs actual run time 55 mins. Where as the LST400 only has the string trimer and two second generation lithiums 2020 which only last 10-15mins each. I purchased an additional 4020 battery for the combo so when both are fully charge I have 1hr and 45mins of use. Recharge time with the provided charger is 6-8hrs. I am very pleased with the LCC420 combo.

Now, here is a kicker. On BH site it shows as DISCONTINUED! So what's the replacement if it's the case? I was hesitant to pull a trigger a couple of weeks ago when price was around $435 and obviously have missed the opportunity. However, if this is already an old model, I am very interested in a replacement.

Not sure if it's related to D&S but they all seem to be made in the same place out of the same parts bin. Hope this helps.

These batteries are great and were equivalent to my BT18443/BT284342. The caption also mentions your battery replacement. No reason to expect they won't work for you as well. However, order the 3 pack, it's cheaper per battery.

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.

Hi, Jamie and J. Peltz: Is battery from swifferbattery.com good? I am thinking to get one too. Thx!

Yes. That is the LST420 model. The LST400 has one 4 amp 20v battery, the LST420 has 2 LBXR20 2 amp 20v batteries. Both models have @ the same run time. B&D; gives u a choice.. one big battery vs 2 small batteries u can swap for more time.

They both use the same replacement foils, so they shave the same. However, the BG2040 charges much faster than the BG2028 (1 hr to fully charge vs 8 hrs to fully charge). The BG2040 has a better battery life too.

Hello AnjaliYes they are compatible as 42t4911 is 55+ 6 Cell and older version and discontinued by Lenovo and 0A36302 is 70+ 6 Cell and new version, When we are sold out sometimes on 70+ 6 cell we ship 70++ 9 cell Battery which is better than 6 Cell.Thank you Miyanji

As previously stated by Mr. Gallo, the additional feature of the Flash Charge button on the B&D; L2AFCBST charger will get a battery in this series running in some 10 minutes with a 30% charge from zero, a feature the B&D; L2AFC-OPE does not have. This, in and of itself, may be a deciding factor in which fast charger you purchase depending on your needs and the number of batteries you own. The difference in price between the two units in relatively minor.

Hi, I am also trying to research Panasonic shavers as an Xmas gift for my husband. I haven't researched the 8109 but I did research the 8243. You probably already know this but there's 8243A & 8243K. A=black model K=blue & silver model You can't replace the batteries in the 8243 unit because it's built in (I had read someone's feed back on it so I called Panasonic to verify). To change the battery, you have to send it to their one and only certified technicians at Appliance Sales & Service in San Francisco. (415-362-7195). I called and it's approx. $50 for the battery & labor according to the person I talked to. I'm assuming that it doesn't include shipping costs. The batteries are also built in on the 8249, LA63S & LA93K and would have to be sent to San Francisco too, according to the panasonic person. According to the Panasonic person, 8243, 8249, LA63S & LA93K are all made in Japan. I couldn't pin her down if any of them were made in China. As far as she could tell they're made in Japan. She referenced the year 2008 and couldn't tell me anything about 2009. (I had thought that someone had said something about having one made in China but I'm researched out at this point so it could have been for another brand of shaver). The only difference I could find between 8243 and 8249 was that the 8249 has the vortex hydra clean system. I still haven't figured out yet whether the hydra system is a good thing or not. 8249S = silver 8249K = black This is unrelated but I thought I'd mention that the expensive ESLA63S & ESLA93K don't have a quick 5 minute charge. There must be something I'm missing because what happens if it dies during a shave. It doesn't make sense to me that something that expensive would have less features than the 8243 & 8249 models The ESLA63S & ESLA93K have 2 motors which does make it louder according to the panasonic person but is suppose to give a better and quicker shave.

What model battery comes with the LCC420? The product description for the LCC420 combo says it comes with a "4.0 Amp hour lithium battery" rather than a "2.0 Amp hour lithium battery" -- is that incorrect? Is there another 4.0 Amp hour battery than the LB2X4020-OPE ???

Absolutely! You can purchase a B&D pair through Amazon for about $63.00 plus shipping cost. Probably cheaper then the cost of one Sears brand name. I have 4 of them since I purchased the entire B&D Matrix system because I do a lot of small odd jobs for many people. The entire Matrix tool system is very versatile and when you have all the interchangeable parts and use them, you need the extra batteries so that you can finish the job. I recommend purchasing the B&D quick charger when you have this many batteries like I do. Believe me, it will make your life/job a breeze. I also purchased the B&D tool bag specifically made for storing all the Matrix components. Enjoy!

Hi Wendy, They are essentially the same battery. They are both 3.6v 1/2 AA size batteries. The "LS" prefix is unique to the Saft brand. Hope that help, Jim

I purchased a second hand T42 on the cheap cheap. The battery only lasts about an hour in mine.
