Black and Decker GKC1000 18v Cordless Alligator Powered Lopper
Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Black & Decker 18v System
The Black & Decker 18v Li-ion System is a range of 18v tools where all 18v batteries of all ah ratings fit all tools, allowing you to buy just a few batteries but as many of the range of bare tools that you need without the expense of a new batteries and chargers each time.

Very helpful people and very knowledgeable
Slowly running out of things to cut down! Very easy to use and relatively safe with having the guard and jaws covering the chain. Would certainly recommend
A great saw. Particularly for smaller branches.
Great to deal with.
Does the job. Gets a bit heavy after a prolonged period of holding at arm's length. Need to remember to shake out the chainsaw chips that gather in the front loop. The 2Ah Li bty has a surprisingly long mission BUT it would be useful if it was furnished with a line of 3 LEDs to give an indication of charge left like the DeWalt Li bty. The oil reservoir is strange because it's hidden so one can't see how much is there + the filling bottle has a non-positive screw valve that doesn't stay where it's set!
Bought this as a "safe" chainsaw. It does a great job. The battery lasts a reasonable amount of time, takes a little time to recharge but I can get a couple of good lopping sessions in a day which is enough for me. Managed to get the chain trapped by not being careful which way I cut the branch but lesson learned. Perfect for what I wanted it for and a reasonable price.

Customer Questions & Answers
Q : The armature on my alligator was damaged by some cutting. B&D no longer do spares. I am seeking replacement armature, even a used one. Any ideas, before I have to go and buy a complete new one. Southampton Hants.
A : Good morning, I am afraid we do not sell spares.
Q : What is the weight of this Alligator with battery on ?
A : Hi Adriana, it will depend what size of battery you're using it with (a 1.5ah battery will weigh less than a 4ah battery for example) but on average it should be around 4.5kg in total
Q : Is it possible to upgrade my still fully functioning GKC 1000P with a newer 18v lithium battery and appropriate compatible charger.
A : Hi Christine, unfortunately the Black & Decker lithium batteries weren't designed to work with the older tool ranges which used battery technologies like Ni-MH. I think (in the US at least) DeWalt brought out an adaptor that enabled you to do this when they introduced the XR li-ion battery range, but I'm not aware of Black & Decker having released a similar kind of adaptor for their battery platforms.
Q : Since Black and Decker does not make the 18V battery for the cordless alligator, what battery can I use that is compatible
A : Hi Jack, the GKC1000 runs on Black & Decker 18v batteries - these are listed on our product page as suggested accessories and note that you can also buy the tool as a starter kit with battery and charger included (you select the kit version you want from the green drop down menu on our website)
Q : I have an original Black & Decker Alligator & need a new battery charger for it - it’s a Ni-cad battery charger I need please.
A : Hi Trevor, I'm afraid we can no longer supply Black & Decker NiCad batteries or chargers. There's a chance you may still be able to get one as a spare part if you contact Black & Decker directly
Q : Does this unit work with 36V Battery as well?
A : Hi Srinivasa, no - I'm afraid the Black & Decker 18v and 36v batteries are not interchangeable
Q : We can no longer purchase this cordless Alligator in New Zealand and mine has finally failed. Is it possible for you to export it to me? Regards Sue
A : Hi Sue, unfortunately we can only ship within the UK. I'm not sure how it works in New Zealand but you may be able to get one imported through eBay? Here in the UK we can order goods via eBay sellers in other countries, but it may be different in NZ of course. Good luck!
Q : Does the battery require the charging unit, or just plug it in?
A : Hi Viv, these batteries are recharged in a separate charger, which is included with all versions of this machine except the bare tool (which comes without battery or charger)
