The LBXR20 battery is a reliable power source for Black+Decker 20V tools, but proper care makes a big difference in its lifespan. Always recharge before it drops completely dead to prevent strain on the cells. Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or freezing conditions. Avoid overcharging by removing it once fully powered. Clean the contacts regularly to maintain strong connections. Rotate between two batteries if you use your tools often. Don’t leave the battery attached to the tool when not in use. Use only the recommended Black+Decker chargers. Finally, give it a partial recharge every few months if stored long-term. These simple habits help your LBXR20 battery run stronger and last longer.
