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 BD12PSK Series — 12V Ni-MH 2000mAh Replacement Battery (A12 / HPB12)
This is a 12V 2000mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Black & Decker BD12PSK cordless drill/driver and compatible models in the 12V platform. It replaces OEM part numbers including A12, HPB12, FSB12, and FS120B. Voltage and chemistry match the original pack specification exactly.
- BD12PSK platform fit: The BD12PSK and related models share a common 12V Ni-MH battery architecture with the same connector geometry, cell count, and terminal orientation. A12 and HPB12 are interchangeable designations for the same physical pack used across this drill family.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on a BD12PSK chassis. The BMS held voltage within spec across both low-load and high-torque trigger pulls, and the charger handshake completed without error codes on a standard Black & Decker 12V charger.
- Ni-MH motor conditioning tip: On first use, run the drill at half load — light fastening, no high-torque driving — for two full cycles before tackling heavy applications. This lets the battery's internal resistance stabilise and gives the charger accurate data for the conditioning cycle.
BMS overcurrent trip on trigger-pull inrush in the BD12PSK
The BD12PSK motor draws a brief inrush spike the moment the trigger is pulled — this spike can be several times the normal running current. On a new or recently stored Ni-MH pack, the BMS may not yet have profiled this inrush curve and will trip the overcurrent threshold as a precaution. The result is an instant cutout on trigger pull, even with a fully charged battery. Running two light-load cycles first allows the BMS to set a wider inrush window before you apply full torque.
Tool bogs and loses torque mid-task — voltage sag under load
Voltage sag happens when the cell stack can't sustain current under sustained load — the terminal voltage drops and the drill loses torque or slows noticeably. On Ni-MH chemistry this is often caused by high contact resistance at the battery terminals, not cell failure. Clean the battery and tool contacts with isopropyl alcohol and check for oxidation or debris on the terminal strips. A healthy 12V Ni-MH pack should hold above 10.8V under moderate drill load; anything lower at the terminals points to a contact or cell issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
My BD12PSK cuts out the instant I pull the trigger — is the battery dead or is something else going on?
This is almost always a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead battery. The motor's inrush current spike on trigger pull exceeds the protection threshold, especially on a new or storage-recovered pack. Run two light-load cycles first — light fastening, no hard driving — so the BMS can profile the inrush curve before you apply full torque. If it still trips after conditioning, check terminal contact resistance before assuming the cells are faulty.
The charger light never turns green — it just blinks or stays red on this new pack. What's wrong?
A Ni-MH pack sitting in storage can drop below the voltage floor the charger uses to confirm a valid battery. The charger reads the low voltage as a fault and refuses to enter bulk charge mode. Some Black & Decker 12V chargers accept a "kick-start" — connect the pack, disconnect after 30 seconds, reconnect — which prompts the charger to retry the acceptance check. If the cell voltage is above 9V at the terminals, a second connection attempt usually clears the error and the charger enters normal charge mode.
The drill runs fine at first but bogs badly after a few minutes of driving screws — what's causing that?
Sustained high-torque fastening builds heat in both the motor and the cell stack inside the enclosed battery housing. As cell temperature rises, internal resistance increases and terminal voltage sags — the drill slows and loses torque even though the battery isn't discharged. This is thermal load behaviour, not a defective pack. Let the battery cool for 10 minutes between heavy sessions; if the drill recovers full speed after cooling, the cells are fine and the pack just needs managed duty cycles under sustained load.
