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 9078 / 9078 Type 1 — 3.6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (5102057-00)
This is a 3.6V, 2000mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Black & Decker 9078 and 9078 Type 1 cordless drill/driver. It matches the OEM part number 5102057-00 and fits the original battery slot without modification. If your drill is no longer holding a charge, this battery restores full driving and drilling capability.
- 9078 and 9078 Type 1 compatibility: Both variants run the same 3.6V rail and share an identical connector and housing footprint. The Type 1 revision carried no changes to the battery interface, so one part number covers both.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran the pack through charge and discharge cycles on a 9078 platform. The Ni-MH cells absorbed the full charge profile without thermal event, and the BMS logged inrush current correctly on trigger pull.
- Ni-MH conditioning on the 9078: For the first two uses, run the drill at half load — driving light screws into softwood rather than full-torque applications. This lets the battery's internal resistance settle before the tool demands peak current draws on harder materials.
BMS overcurrent trip on motor-start inrush in the 9078
When you pull the trigger on a stalled or heavily loaded bit, current spikes sharply before the motor reaches speed. A fresh Ni-MH pack can trigger the BMS overcurrent threshold at that spike if the cells haven't been through at least one full conditioning cycle. This is especially common on the compact 9078 housing, where cell temperature rises faster than in larger-format drills. Two full charge-discharge cycles normalise the BMS trip threshold and reduce nuisance cutoffs under load.
Drill bogs down mid-screw but the battery shows as charged
Voltage sag under load is the most likely cause — the pack reads 3.6V at rest but drops below the tool's minimum operating voltage the moment motor current ramps up. On Ni-MH cells, this happens when internal resistance is elevated, either from age on the old pack or from shallow cycling on the new one. Check the contact terminals in the drill for oxidation or debris, since high contact resistance compounds the voltage drop. Clean the terminals with isopropyl alcohol and run the pack through a full discharge-to-recharge cycle before writing it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Black & Decker 9078 cuts out the instant I pull the trigger on a tight screw — is this the battery?
Most likely yes — this is a BMS overcurrent trip caused by motor-start inrush current spiking beyond the battery's protection threshold. It's most common with a new or freshly charged pack that hasn't been conditioned yet. Run two light-duty cycles first: drive small screws into softwood before putting the drill under full torque. After conditioning, the BMS recalibrates its trip threshold and the cutout on trigger pull usually stops.
The charger never starts blinking — it just sits there with no lights when I plug in the new 9078 battery. What's wrong?
A Ni-MH pack that has sat in storage can drop below the charger's acceptance voltage, causing the charger to see a dead or absent cell and refuse to start a charge cycle. Connect the battery to the charger and leave it for 10–15 minutes — some chargers trickle a small recovery current before switching to full charge mode. If the charger still shows no activity, check that the terminal contacts on both the battery and charger are clean and making firm contact. Wipe the contacts with isopropyl alcohol, reseat the pack firmly, and try again.
My 9078 drill runs fine on a fresh charge but feels noticeably weaker after just a few uses — is that normal for Ni-MH?
Repeated shallow cycling is the main cause — if you recharge after only light use each time, Ni-MH cells gradually lose usable capacity through voltage depression. This isn't a fault with the replacement pack; it's a chemistry behaviour specific to Ni-MH. To correct it, run the drill until performance drops noticeably, then charge fully from that point. Two or three full discharge-recharge cycles typically restore capacity and bring the pack back to its rated 2000mAh output.
