Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are.

With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VXP battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools.



Meet the Centerpiece of the VPX System
It’s time to re-tool with the new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. This durable, portable, powerful 7-volt battery is the very cornerstone of the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. And once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products. This battery's advanced technology is created to offer the most in performance in a lightweight, compact piece that holds a charge longer and offers a steadier power output. And all of Black & Decker's VPX products are powered by either a single 7-volt battery or two 7-volt batteries like this one.



The VPX product line debuts with a broad family of home and workshop tools, including two drills (one 14-volt and one 7-volt model), a 14-volt hand vac; and a 7-volt screwdriver, cut saw, air inflator, power source and a flashlight. Next year and beyond, Black & Decker will be rolling out additional power tools, plus home, kitchen, and cleaning products -- not to mention electronics, technology, and yard-maintenance devices. The VPX system incorporates cutting-edge product style with striking aesthetics and a truly comfortable ergonomic design. And since they're all created to combine the highest in form and function, the VPX products perform as every bit great as they look. Because the VPX battery is interchangeable between the VPX products -- once you dip your toes into the system with a VPX charger and batteries, you can expand your collection to include all the VPX products you need at a real cost savings.

Customer Rating: - Finally! a battery that lasts!
Black & Decker has done it again! They have developed a COMPLETE system utilizing the same rechargeable battery for all of the tools in it. The battery has no memory and can be stored charged without ruining the battery. The results are a more powerful battery; interchangeable between tools and a longer lasting charge! The rest speaks for itself!!!

Customer Rating: - Maybe too powerful
These things can kick out a lot of power. I have
the smallest of the VPX driver/drills and can do things
with it which you normally would not expect to be able
to do with a small driver/drill.

But you can't do them for long. The battery will last
just about as long as you'd expect under normal use,
but due to the special chemistry of this battery it can
dump it's entire load of energy in just minutes (without
harming the battery, no guarantees about how the tool
will take it), so if you start drilling quarter inch
holes through sheet steel with a single-pack tool, just
don't expect to get many done on one battery, and if
you own a lot of packs and keep feeding them in, be
careful not to overheat the tool. My tool gets pretty
hot after the second pack is through. These cells
are new so manufacturers may not have been expecting
them to be able to run the tools so hard.

The charger that comes with them really takes it way
too easy on these cells -- they should be able to charge
in an hour and fast-charge in 15 minutes, but they
take a few hours in that charger.

Use the VPX line of tools if you expect to only meet the
very occasional high power job. If you're a "power user"
go for the Dewalt 36V -- same great batteries but many more
of them in a pack.

I can't attest to the calendar life and shelf life claims
of these packs yet, because I just bought the tools and
haven't left them unused for more than a few days.

Customer Rating: - VPX0111 7 Volt Battery Pack
Great product. Does the job very well. Holds charge well. Would purchase again.

Customer Rating: - Much better then the old versapak
This is a great small battery pack. Unfortunately, it seems like many places are getting rid of these tools. The tools are basic, but great for the small projects that my "real" tools would be overkill for. I use the tool to fill my tires all the time!
