I have had a large collection of Versapak tools for years. The old nicad batteries were shot. The Versapak gold battery uses NiMH technology that really outshines the old nicad batteries. This is the best price that I have found and delivery was quick. Black & Decker Vp 110 - 5 Versapak Gold 5-pack Batteries
I have had three Versapak tools (drill, screwdriver and hand vacuum cleaner) for several years, and some time back the original silver Versapak NiCd batteries died, rendering the tools useful only for taking up space and collecting dust. Fortunately I discovered the new NiMH Versapak Gold units.
Web research showed the new NiMH units are free of NiCd "memory" that did in the original batteries, hold a charge longer, and have more power - a potential winner.
The tools require a total of five batteries to replace the deceased silver units, so after searching the web for replacements (in some cases at $28 PER BATTERY, PLUS shipping and tax!), I was doing mental math that was leading inexorably toward trashing... er... "recycling" the tools, when I discovered that Amazon had a five battery set for $15 a cell with free shipping, which was a clear bargain, and certainly cheaper than tossing the tools out....
We can be certain that Black and Decker made a financial decision to produce a replacement battery instead of abandoning the legacy Versapak tools, and are making a few bucks on the Gold Versapaks, but it is really good to not have to toss out three perfectly good tools as tribute to the god of planned obsolescence. - Black And Decker - Recommend - Versa Pak - Versapak'
