Customer Reviews: Proper Battery MaintenanceJuly 28, 2010 Nikola Tesla(PA) I have had my trimmer for several years and like with all battery-operated tools proper battery maintenance is the key. Getting a better smart charger helps tremendously. The 18v model with slide in charger is better in that you can use the battery with many tools and also get the smart charger. Check out B&D trimmer model NHT5181.
Any Nickel-Cadmium batteries need to be drained low before recharging so not to get the memory effect, if you use it and then charge it before you run the batteries fully down it will get this problem. The solution is to fully charge and discharge the battery pack several times to erase the memory.

No power and battery drains rapidly. I went electric, much better but...watch the cord.
Hedge Trimmer did the job.January 4, 2007 James S. Goodfriend 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The hedge trimmer did an excellent job. It held its charge and I would recommend it.
Very Disappointed.......November 3, 2006 Laurie Petitti(hoffman estates, Illinois) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I an not at all happy with this product. The batteries never stay charged long enough to do more then half of a small hedge and my home is sourounded by hedges. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone and cant even use it. Your better off purchasing an electric hedge trimmer.

I have been using B&D cordless trimmer model cht 500
for several years.
I maintain a 300 ft drive with hedges on both sides.
This unit is really light, extremely durable, no maintenance and starts every time.
I don't even oil the blades.
I recommend buying a couple of batteries, for large acreage.
I am replacing my batteries for the first time, in 5 years.
I have an echo gas power trimmer, which I never use
and I hope I never have to.
