The 40x Lithium battery for the Black & Decker weed-eater showed up defective. I'm hoping there is something I can try to get it to work ok.
It would be nice to wrestle with the original battery and get it working. A backup would be good to have.
Any suggestions appreciated.
- Original: Lithium-Ion Type 2 54 Wh LBXR36 ... White, black, and orange
- Charger shows continuous fast red blinks, indicating "Defective"
- The "State of Charge" indicator has 0 of 4 lights, indicating "Flat"
- Black & Decker was ok about shipping a replacement battery.
- Didn't have to return the original battery, so I still have it.
- Replacement: Type 4 1.5AH 54 Wh Black, and orange
- Replacement battery works fine with charger.
- This appears to be similar to the replacement battery (except 2AH instead of 1.5AH):
