Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker Heavy-Duty 36-Volt Cordless Electric String Trimmer #NST2036Customer Review: Excellent motor, but battery does not go the distance.I purchased this hoping that a manufacturer had finally built a trimmer that was both powerful and had good battery life. Black & Decker got half of what I was looking for. The motor on this is as powerful as any gas model carving through thick clumps of grass from in between walkways stones with ease. The problem is that under this heavy use the battery lasts approximetly 15 minutes. It runs at full strength till the end, but the end comes to quickly for such an expensive battery. When I bought an extra battery for $100, I thought it would be a modern Nickle-Metal Hydride battery, it's not. The battery is Nickle Cadmium. I think if Black & Decker had used a more modern battery, it would have lasted a lot longer. Under heavy use had the battery lasted 25 minutes, I would have been satisfied (or if the battery was cheaper.)

Super-Charge Your Yard with the NST2036 Cordless String Trimmer
Now the company that invented cordless yard solutions brings you the first battery-powered string trimmer that delivers the performance of gas. Just imagine the freedom that cordless convenience can bring -- without the hassles of pull cords, spilled gas, tune-ups, or harmful emissions. With 36 volts of power and a newly designed, super-efficient motor that boasts a patented gear drive transmission, you'll get all the torque you need for tough cutting with less noise and vibration than a traditional gas trimmer.
Gas vs. Electric: Black & Decker Changes the Rules
Many consumers own a gas-powered string trimmer because they don't think that electric string trimmers have the power to address their needs. But Black & Decker's 36-volt trimmer is a true breakthrough, offering the performance of a gas-powered string trimmer with the tidiness of a battery power source. This trimmer's removable high-output 36-volt NiCad battery features pro-grade cells with a total capacity of over 75 watt hours. That means it offers more than three times the energy of an 18-volt battery (as compared to HPB18-OPE 18-volt pack).

Feature-Packed and Ready to Work
The NST2036 has a 14-inch cutting swath, which is the largest ever for a cordless string trimmer -- but that's not its only claim to fame. It delivers real industry-leading performance, no-stall torque, and true efficiency for run time that will amaze and delight you, all from a battery that delivers hundreds of recharge cycles ... so it will last for years. This model easily covers even big yards with loads of trees and fences.
And in addition to all this power, the NST2036 is extremely easy to control. It has no frustrating cords to pull, but it starts every time with just a squeeze of the trigger; and this variable speed trigger allows for gas-like control, so you'll always receive just the right power for any application. A lock-off button prevents accidental starts, and the rugged bump-feed head stocks a heavy-duty dual .080-inch line. The telescoping shaft offers quick and simple height adjustment, and the auxiliary handle adjusts to various heights for comfort in all trimming positions -- for users of every size.
Best of all, the NST2036 is the first trimmer in its class to receive the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star certification for its charging system. With the NST2036 you'll save money on energy bills, and at the same time you can help prevent greenhouse gas emissions for a cleaner planet.
