Amazon.com Product Description

The VPX1501 is powered by Black & Decker's convenient VPX Battery System.

Ideal for sports equipment like soccer balls and basketballs.

Lightweight and portable, the VPX1501 is a great back-up system for cyclists.

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.

About the Cordless VPX Inflator
Grab the Black & Decker VPX inflator and hit the pool, the park, or the beach. This durable, portable, versatile device is just one more great offering from the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. Once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products like this one.

The VPX1501 inflator is cordless so you can take it along to the pool, sports field or on a bike trip. It is especially ideal for bike tires, sports balls and pool inflatables up to 75 psi. It's compact and lightweight, and it's very easy to carry and store almost anywhere. A hand nut lets you easily connect a variety of attachments. For your convenience, a sports needle, a raft nozzle, a tire hose, and a gauge with a presta valve adaptor are included -- and all of these accessories can be stored onboard. The VPX1501 is powered by a single 7-volt VPX battery that is interchangeable with all other VPX products.

The VPX1501 is a VPX expansion product with the VPX battery and charger sold separately.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mighty might inflator, February 6, 2008

This review is from: Black & Decker VPX1501 Li-Ion VPX Inflator (Tools & Home Improvement)

I own black and deckers older versapak inflator. This one has better batteries so it works at least as well even though the older unit might have a better pumping action. I used this to pump up the tires on my trailer, I think it mostly drained a battery (didn't stop but I could hear a change in the sound of the pump) but the fact remains it took two trailer tires up 40 pounds each without killing a battery. I haven't tried it on the car tires or the bike tires yet but I'm not afraid to. Just be sure you've got a bunch of charged batteries. The local home depot was clearing these out so I got a good price, this system is worth the price, it should be around awhile since I noticed the batteries and devices at walmart. The guy with the problem with it blowing the valve off either didn't have it on right or got a bad one, I've had no problems with mine, this would be great for blowing up an air mattress when you go camping and then the same batteries run the small vac for sucking sand off the floor of the tent when you fold it up. Like the system but this unit doesn't come with batteries or a charger you get that with the drill or the driver or the saw.

I also own the Versapak version of this product. It is made much stronger and has a 12" hose. The short hose severely hampers the use in many applications. The pressure gauge is super inaccurate. It is plenty powerful for most applications. BD knows how to do thus better just look at their previous VP700. Love the lithium batteries. I have bought other items in the VPX line and have been very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Portable Inflater / Pump WOW - Awesome, January 19, 2008

I received my inflater this morning and have already used it twice! I fixed a flat on my wheelchair, and pumped up my van tire. Anyone / everyone with inflatable wheels will find this tool completely amazing! This tool is awesome and I recommend buying one for anyone with wheels: but make sure you get one for yourself too! The whole series of these VPX portable tools use the same batteries: I can't wait to receive my power inverter with usb charger output! Flat tires won't stop me anymore! Thank You B&D: these tools are BAD to the Bone!
