The BLACK+DECKER LCS40 MAX Fast Charger, 40-volt is designed to charges BLACK+DECKER 36v or 40v Max batteries in under 2 hours. This unit charges LBX36 in 1 hour, LBXR36 in 1.5 Hours, and LBXR2036 in 2 hours. The charge indication light lets you know when your battery is charged!

Never replacing the battery is simple to do I release the clip on the back of the battery. And pull it away from the housing. To install the new battery. I align the slide rail with the housing.

Although it may be rated for 4 amp hours remember this is just a unit of measurement. In this 40v battery you should be able to have 4amps last about an hour before it discharges.

The light will not go out, change color, or blink when the charging has been completed. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for extended periods of time (over 30 days without use).

Most cordless electric leaf blowers average between 20-40 minutes of run time per charge. This is sufficient for most leaf removal projects, and you can always keep an extra one charged if you want to work for longer.

Most cordless leaf blowers use a lithium-ion battery with a voltage between 18 and 120 volts. Lithium-ion batteries are longer-lasting than other types of batteries, with a life of about two or three years or 500 charge cycles.

A Ryobi 40V, 4-amp battery can take up to one hour to recharge for each 25-percent increment, requiring as long a 4-hours to completely recharge a discharged battery.

While lead acid offers some flexibility in terms of voltage cut off, manufacturers of Li-ion cells are very strict on the correct setting because Li-ion cannot accept overcharge. The so-called miracle charger that promises to prolong battery life and gain extra capacity with pulses and other gimmicks does not exist.

Today, we want to answer a common question we get asked, 'Is it ok to leave a lithium ion battery on the charger'? Armed with this knowledge, it becomes clear that if the correct voltage limit is set for the lithium ion battery you are charging, there should be no issue leaving a lithium ion battery on the charger.

Flashing green indicates half charge, flashing red indicates low charge, and solid red indicates battery near empty.

Serious preformance

An EGO Power+ 2.5Ah 56V ARC Lithium battery will power a cordless blower for up to 10 minutes on boost, up to 22 minutes on high, and up to 75 minutes on low. A 4.0Ah battery will power a cordless blower for up to 35 minutes on high. A 5.0Ah battery will power a cordless blower for up to 44 minutes on high.

When a battery has been unused for 6 months, check the charge status and charge or dispose of the battery as appropriate. The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first.
