Amazon.com Product Description

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

By	S. J McCartin (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

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

By	Thomas J. Schmokel (Tallahassee, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

2.0 out of 5 stars its ok not worth 30 bucks, January 1, 2008

By	V. Zubenko - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i got mine at home depot for 15 bucks and thats about all its worth. To inflate toys it works great. The tire inflater is horrible, it doesn't fit and blows right off when you turn it on. Do not buy it if you want to inflate your kids tires. I already have the kit and batteries so its ok but if you had buy batteries i would stay away.
