I’ve had my BXT 65 850 for about a year now. The lifespan has been impressive, lasting around 12 months with daily use. Cycle count is pretty good too; I’ve hit about 400 cycles with only slight degradation.

That’s great to hear, Nancy! I’ve experienced similar results, averaging 14 months with moderate use. What conditions do you usually use it in?

Totally agree with both of you! I’ve been using mine in varied temperatures and it still holds up well. However, I noticed that extreme heat tends to drain the battery faster.

That’s interesting, Tony. What’s the temperature range you’ve been using it in? I’m curious if that affects others too.

I’ve seen a noticeable dip in performance during the winter months. My usage feels heavier, but the battery lasts about the same—maybe a slight reduction in lifespan overall.

Winter can be tough on batteries! However, I find that using a power bank can help extend the battery life during those colder months.

What do you think affects the cycle count the most? I’ve heard proper charging habits can extend it significantly. Any tips?

Westlee, I’ve read that avoiding deep discharges can help. I try to charge mine before it drops below 20%, and it seems to help with longevity.

I’ve used the BXT 65 850 under different conditions, and honestly, I can’t complain! Just make sure you don’t overcharge it. That’s crucial.

11

Anyone here had a battery fail on them suddenly? Just curious if it’s a common issue or if I’m just lucky…

12

I haven’t experienced a failure, but I imagine it’s rare. A lot of it seems to come down to how well you care for it.

13

I’m using the BXT 65 850 in a couple of my devices, and I’ve had great success with it in my PowerTool Pro and the X-Tech 1000. The fit was perfect, no issues at all!

14

I also had a successful run with this battery in the X-Tech 1000! It’s been performing like a champ, but I did have to fiddle a bit to ensure the connection was snug.

15

I recently tried the BXT 65 850 in my SmartVac 3000, and I faced some compatibility issues. The battery fits, but it sometimes loses connection during heavy use.

Interesting to note! I use it in my SmartVac 2000 without issues, though. Maybe the 3000 model has different contacts or something.

17

I’ve tested the BXT 65 850 in my Drill Master Deluxe and it worked perfectly. It seems quite versatile, but I’d love to hear more about others’ experiences with different models!

18

I have the BXT 65 850 working fine in my older model, the PowerTool 500. No battery issues at all! Love how effortlessly it integrates with my devices.

19

Sounds great! However, can you share any specifics on battery life or performance under heavy usage?

I just replaced my old battery with the BXT 65 850 in my Power Tool X100, and it’s like I got a new tool! However, I did hear some clicking sounds when under load. Anyone else?
