It's powered by BLACK+DECKER's high-powered 40-volt lithium battery system, which offers power, excellent runtime, and the versatility to share batteries with other tools within the system.The Lithium AdvantageBLACK+DECKER's 40-volt lithium-ion system offers numerous benefits over older battery technologies and gas options, notably the ability to put more power into a small and compact battery. Lithium batteries have a longer lifecycle than other types, and they also hold their charge longer when taken off the charger. This means that once charged, a lithium battery is always ready to use. The included Energy Star-rated fast charger fully recharges the battery in about 1 hour.Cutting Power and ConvenienceWith BLACK+DECKER's exclusive Power Drive transmission, you'll be able to cut up to twice the amount of branches without stalling, and the 24-inch dual-action blades produce less vibration while trimming compared to single-action blade models. It's enough to cut through branches up to 3/4-inch thick. The LHT2436 features a full wrap-around front handle provides a comfortable gripping area in all cutting orientations (and is large enough to accommodate gloves), soft rubber grip, and a built-in cord retention system to avoid accidental unplugging.What's in the BoxLHT2436 trimmer; LBX1540 40-volt lithium-ion battery; 40-volt fast charger; operating instructionsLHT2436 24-Inch Hedge Trimmer Key Features:Power Drive transmission cuts up to twice the branches without stalling24-inch dual-action blades cut branches fast with less vibration40-volt lithium-ion battery provides longer runtime and longer battery life year after yearUp to 6000 square feet of trimmed hedges per chargeFast charger recharges 40-volt battery in about 1 hour2400 cutting strokes per minute Dual-action blade for less vibration.
