I bought this battery on special from Amazon for about $25.00 with free shipping. Walmart sells it for about $35.00 plus local sales tax. The battery usually lasts about a year with frequent use and recharging and at the price I'm happy to keep replacing them.

After 2 years you better be prepared to buy expensive new batteries, because these babies will just die, and not only that, but they will take the charger along with them to the grave. Recommend getting another brand of cordless tool.

If you're looking to replace two batteries and a charger, as I was, don't buy them individually. Home Depot and Amazon both carry the Black & Decker CDC1440K-2. It's a complete drill set, but it comes with two 14.4V batteries, charger, carry bag, and small drill (good as a backup) for $59.99. Buying the two batteries and charger alone is more expensive than the whole drill kit, and you get another drill.

The product was bought as a replacement to the battery that came with my drill. I was unable to find a replacement battery in our area and did not want to buy a new drill just to get a battery. The replacement works great and I did not have to throw away my old drill (new drills have different form factor - probably so you are forced to buy new).

These batteries are complete crap expecially for the high cost. I recently purchased 2 batteries at Lowe's and withing a year or two they are no longer taking a charge. This reminds of the ink scam that printer manufacuters have done to extort consumers out of their hard earned money.

Wife bought me a B&D anniversity 14 volt cordless drill. Was chrome! Had serious doubts, coming from my wife, a tool to use. How wrong I was. This drill has been the best. I order this battery pack just to have a second, charged & ready to use. I will hate the day this drill breaks down! I have had 5 plus years, still going strong.

It's a battery. It takes a charge, works as it should, finally loses charge and then you do it again. Good product.

The two previous reviews chastize Amazon.com for advertizing this item as the battery for the Black & Decker Anniversary Edition Drill. Looking at the picture of this item I would have realized it wasn't the correct item because it is black. However, I have searched the Black & Decker sites for the very same, but silver, Anniversary Edition battery pack and cannot locate it anywhere. I think more blame must go to Black & Decker because I believe they discontinued the drill and the correct replacement battery pack. Then again, Amazon.com was wrong to advertize this one as the Anniversary Edition pack. Another but, Black & Decker wants $49.00 for this same pack, so why not order it from Amazon for the above price of $40.00? I will after I hear back from Black & Decker.

This Battery is not the HSB14 it is advertised to be!!
It is the standard black batt. Although it fits the Anneversary B&D Amazon is misleading it's customers.

Picture and Discription in misleading ad was for the Anniversary Edition Battery. Paid for and received standard black battery available at any hardware store that has B&D products. Very Poor $ervice AMAZON.COM No wonder the shipping was free considering my time and expence returning it.
