An error in shipment resulted in an older, but compatible version of the batteries to be shipped. I contacted the seller immediately and was promptly shipped the correct item without needing to go through the hassle of returning the incorrect item.
These batteries last longer and are much more powerful than the silver versapak kind. Try the gold and you will never use the silver again.
buyitnowamazon sells batteries that are over a year old and without end caps. buyer beware Black and Decker tells me the batteries I was sold as new in Sept of 2007 were actually made in May of 2006.
I have three Dustbusters and 4 or 5 Scum buster scrub brushes, also a few screwdrivers by B&D. NiMH is a superior battery. The performance of the Dustbuster is unbelievable with these batteries. A search of Amazon was rewarded with a source of the Gold batteries at a price that is very attractive, in fact cheaper than the B&D site, and cheaper than they were back in the days when they were available at many Retailers. This item is well worth the upgrade from the Silver NiCad units. I was ready to write the whole collection off because of failing silver batteries, when I spotted the Gold batteries at Lows for $18.00 each. One caution, the six pac does not have protective end caps included. I had thought that Versapac batteries were off the market, seeing as the tools that use the Versapac removable batteries don't seem to be marketed anymore.
I have been using the VersaPak Gold VP110 NiMH batteries in my Dustbuster DB800 for years without any problems.They are always ready for me to use and they charge overnight in the dustbuster charger when they are completely dead.I just wish they were offered together with a separate charger.They are worth every penny of the extra cost and they will be the last VersaPak batteries you will ever need to buy.
