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 BDCDMT120 Series — 20V Li-ion Replacement Battery (LB20 / LBXR20)
This is a 20V 1500mAh Li-ion replacement battery pack for Black & Decker 20V MAX cordless tools. It fits the BDCDMT120 compact drill/driver and over 94 additional 20V MAX platform models including the CHH2220, LCS120, and LDX120C. Slides into any 20V MAX port that accepts the LB20, LBX20, LBXR20, or LBXR20B pack.
- 20V MAX platform fit: Black & Decker's 20V MAX line shares a common battery interface across drills, saws, and oscillating tools. The voltage rail, slide-in connector geometry, and BMS communication protocol are consistent across models — so one pack works across the full range without adapters or modifications.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack on a BDCDMT120 under repeated load cycles. The BMS handled motor-start inrush current without tripping, held the voltage rail steady through mid-cycle torque spikes, and triggered thermal protection only under sustained overload — not normal use.
- First two cycles on a new pack: Run the drill at half load for the first two charge cycles before pushing maximum torque applications. This gives the BMS time to profile the motor's inrush current draw and set accurate overcurrent thresholds before you hit it hard.
BMS cutoff on BDCDMT120 motor-start inrush surge
Every trigger pull on the BDCDMT120 sends a brief inrush spike before the motor reaches operating speed. On a cold or freshly installed pack, the BMS overcurrent threshold may not yet match the motor's start-up profile. If the pack cuts out immediately on trigger pull — not under load, but at the first instant — that is an inrush trip, not a faulty cell. Two to three partial charge-discharge cycles recalibrates the BMS threshold and eliminates nuisance trips in most cases.
Charger blinking red on a new 20V pack after storage
Li-ion cells self-discharge during storage. If a pack sits long enough, cell voltage can drop below the charger's acceptance threshold — typically around 2.5V per cell. The Black & Decker charger sees sub-threshold voltage and blinks red instead of starting a charge cycle. To recover, connect the pack to the charger and leave it for 30 minutes without interruption — most chargers apply a trickle pre-charge below 2.8V per cell before switching to the main charge cycle. If the light does not shift from red within 45 minutes, check that resting cell voltage is above 2.5V with a multimeter before continuing.

Frequently Asked Questions
My BDCDMT120 cuts out the instant I pull the trigger — but works fine if I squeeze it slowly. What's happening?
That's a BMS overcurrent trip triggered by motor-start inrush current. When you pull the trigger fast, the motor draws a sharp current spike before it reaches speed — on a new or cold pack, the BMS interprets that spike as a fault and shuts down the cell output. Run two slow-trigger cycles to let the BMS profile the motor's inrush pattern. After that, fast trigger pulls stop causing nuisance trips.
The drill bogs down and loses torque halfway through driving a screw — battery feels fine otherwise. Why?
That's voltage sag — the cell voltage drops under sustained current draw, and the tool loses power before the BMS trips. It's most noticeable on a partially discharged pack or when the slide-in contacts have built up resistance from debris or oxidation. Clean the battery contacts on both the pack and the tool with a dry cloth, then test again with a fully charged pack. If sag continues on a full charge, check that resting voltage reads 20V or above before use.
The pack gets hot during charging and the charger light never turns green. Is that a charger problem or a battery problem?
Heat during charging is normal up to around 45°C, but if the pack is too hot to hold and the charger stalls without completing, the thermal sensor inside the pack has flagged an over-temperature condition. Let the pack cool to room temperature — roughly 20°C — before reconnecting to the charger. If the charger then completes the cycle normally, the cell and charger are both fine. If it stalls again at room temperature, measure pack voltage — a reading below 15V on a "full" pack points to a cell imbalance the BMS cannot resolve through standard charging.
