I've had an old B&D Dustbuster Deluxe cordless vac for years. Never
really worked 100%. Right off the charger, it'd rev up, then slow to
near nothin', they rev up again. About to roll over and die. Practical
to replace batteries?

I've had an old B&D Spotliter rechargable flashlite since the 80's.
Worked great until just recently. Output on the charger checked
out, so it's gotta be the battery. I can't even figger out how to
get it out of the handle. Any hope?

Thx,

My B&D Dustbuster batteries died after 10 years,and checking with the local
DeWalt service center,it was cheaper to have a new pack installed than buy
a new Dustbuster.It took a week,because they had to order the battery
pack(4 cells),but it's still going strong,and that was 5 years ago.

Your fault may not be the battery pack,but perhaps a bad switch.
("never really worked right";shoulda used the warranty.)

Have you tried looking for a Black and Decker website?
