Does it take a BL1815 battery (1.5Amp version) instead of BL1830 ?

Only by removing the rejection tab on the battery which would void any warranty.

I use mine with the bl1830 and it last quite a while limbing juniper trees. My only problem with this saw is has leaked oil from the case since the first time I,ve used it.

No. You will either have to use the Charger that came with the item the you are using battery to power. If unavailable, you will have to purchase a charger that is specifically for the B&D; 18V Battery

I have a BV2500 and works great. Call Black/Decker M-F 8 to 5 EST and ask them 800-544-6986. The 1500 may be a discontinured item but they could tell you if its compatable.

None. It is solar I guess it does take the 1.5. I have never changed a battery

Yes, I also have the WB150F. The charger & the battery work great. We used the charger on the ship (europe cruise)then took both batteries on the shore excursions. We had no problems with either charger or battery.

Yes, you can use either the BL1815 1.5 Ah battery or the BL1830 3.0 Ah battery with this 18 Volt LXT Chainsaw.

the battery is a 18v 3.0 Ah lithium ion battery. The part # is BL1830. The kit comes with two batteries and charger.

Yes, it is a NiCad battery - the same one that all of the other Black & Decker single source system 18v tools use.

The size. The BL1815 is compact, but also lasts less. It's smaller. The BL 1815 is 1.5 AH the BL 1830 is 3.0 AH whatever that means.

This is always the case with B&D customer service. They know less than you do and they never call back. I asked if the new 18 volt lithium battery they have is interchangeable with the other 18 volt tools and I never could get an answer.

It certainly looks like it, it would help if they gave the part number for the battery, mine is model BL-5.

No, you need the BR1500G to use this. Their other Pro models do not support this secondary battery pack.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! This saw requires the BL830 3.0 Ah battery or higher (yes, Virginia there's a 4.5 Ah) as it "works harder" than the drills and lights that can run on the BL815 1.5 Ah battery. You can modify the 1.5 Ah (amp hour) battery to fit, but run the risk of destroying the battery. If you own the DC18RA charger that came with your BL815 1.5 Ah batteries, it will charge the bigger batteries safely and maintain them nicely - it just takes a little time. Buy the BL830 batteries at the best price you can find. Charge them on the DC18RA or DC18RC charger and you can safely run the saw AND any of the drills that accept the BL815 1.5 Ah output battery. If you cannot figure this message out - and search for makita batteries and chargers - and carefully read the details to determine if you are buying the right things - you should probably not be playing with power tools to begin with! It does require close reading and study - but that's part of shopping online. Remember, if you think you're getting an unbelievable deal - you need to re-read the details - this is all market driven. Everyone needs to make a profit.....EG: "100% quality to fit makita" = "made in china - that's why it's cheaper" Good luck troops. Peace/Out

I am unfamilar with the XA20. The battery is compatable with the XA10, The XA25 needs the newer bp-828.

Yes, they both use the Sony NP-BG1 battery. (Or equivalent generic battery. I have had very good results with the Wasabi Power version of the battery, available on Amazon.com with an external charger for a very reasonable price.)

any battery will work as long as it is the same voltage as the one you are replacing. you may not need 18ah if it is just to start up a wood chipper so you may get away with cheaper battery.
