Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Black & Decker ASD18 Series — 18V Li-ion 4000mAh Replacement Battery (LB20 / LBXR20)
This 18V 4000mAh Li-ion battery replaces the LB20, LBXR20, LBXR2020, and related OEM packs across the Black & Decker ASD18 and ASD184 cordless drill and driver range. It slots into the same slide-rail chassis as the original and communicates with the same BMS handshake those tools expect. Capacity comes from the product specification — 4000mAh, 72Wh.
- ASD18 and ASD184 compatibility: Both the Typ 1 and Typ 2 variants of the ASD18 and ASD184 use the same 18V slide-rail connector and accept the same BMS communication protocol. The battery fits all four variants without adapters or firmware changes.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through repeated motor-start inrush cycles on an ASD18 Typ 1. The BMS held the overcurrent threshold correctly on each trigger pull and did not trip under normal drilling loads. Cell balancing completed without fault codes on the charger.
- Break-in for motor-start protection: On first use, run the drill at half load for two full cycles before applying maximum torque. This lets the BMS profile the motor's inrush current draw and calibrate its overcurrent protection thresholds before you put the tool under heavy fastening loads.
BMS overcurrent trip on ASD18 motor-start inrush
When you pull the trigger hard on a stalled or high-resistance fastener, the ASD18 motor pulls a short inrush spike that can exceed the BMS overcurrent threshold — especially on a cold or freshly installed pack. The BMS reads that spike as a fault and cuts the output rail, which looks like the tool dying mid-use. The fix is to bring the pack up to room temperature before heavy use and avoid jamming the trigger at full speed into a stalled bit. If the pack keeps tripping, check the rail contacts on the tool for oxidation — contact resistance amplifies voltage drop at the BMS sense resistor.
Charger blinking red and refusing to accept the pack after storage
Li-ion cells left unused for several months can self-discharge below the charger's acceptance voltage — typically around 2.5V per cell. Most Black & Decker 18V chargers will blink red and reject the pack when any cell reads below that threshold on initial connection. To recover the pack, connect it to the charger and wait up to five minutes — some chargers run a trickle recovery mode before switching to full charge. If the charger still rejects it after ten minutes, measure the pack voltage at the output terminals; a reading below 12V across the 18V pack means one or more cells have dropped too far for safe recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
My ASD18 cuts out the instant I pull the trigger hard — is the battery dead or is something else tripping it?
That's a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead pack. The motor-start inrush spike on a stalled bit briefly exceeds the BMS protection threshold, and the BMS shuts the output rail as a fault response. Let the pack warm to room temperature, then ease into the trigger rather than flooring it against a stalled fastener. Clean the slide-rail contacts on the tool with isopropyl alcohol — oxidised contacts raise contact resistance and make the voltage drop at the BMS sense resistor look worse than it actually is.
The drill runs fine at low speed but bogs badly under heavy load — charged the battery fully and it still does it.
That's voltage sag under sustained load, not a capacity issue. As current demand rises, internal resistance across the cells causes the voltage rail to drop, and the tool's motor controller backs off to protect itself. Check the slide-rail contacts on both the battery and the tool for corrosion or debris — even a thin film of oxidation raises contact resistance and makes sag worse. If the contacts are clean and the sag persists, the cells may have degraded from repeated shallow cycling; a full discharge-to-cutoff followed by a full charge will let the BMS recalibrate its state-of-charge window.
My Black & Decker 18V charger never moves past the red blink on this new pack — it was sitting in the box for months before I tried to charge it.
Extended storage lets Li-ion cells self-discharge below the charger's acceptance voltage — around 2.5V per cell on this chemistry. The charger sees a low-voltage pack and holds the red blink as a protection response rather than entering full charge mode. Leave the pack connected for up to ten minutes; most Black & Decker 18V chargers run a low-current trickle recovery sequence before switching to normal charge. If the red blink continues past ten minutes, measure the pack at the output terminals — a reading below 12V across the pack indicates cells have dropped beyond safe recovery range.
