Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are. With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VXP battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools.

Black & Decker VPX1301X Li-Ion VPX Cut Saw Reviews
What it lacks is enough power to cut anything but soft plastic. The battery is too weak for useful operation and I am sure that the development team knew it when before putting out in the market. This saw is really a good idea. You WILL be disappointed. There is a reason that Retailers are dumping their inventory and B&D is offering free batteries with purchases. I have a rechargable carving knife that cuts better than this thing.
It worked fantastic. I thought awesome for the little projects around the house. That was after a full 6 hour battery charge. So I recharged the battery and tried it in one of my other VPX tools just to make sure the battery was a good one. It was good idea, but the nature of the beast is that it sucks power fast. Not sure if there is something wrong with mine or if it is the norm, but for me i will stick with my jigsaws, and other tools. However after that it just isn't good for much else.
It lasted long in my other tools. I was just cutting 3/8" pine into pieces to test it out. It only lasted me ten minutes before dying. Well I bought this as part of the VPX starter system. The first thing I used it for was to cut a hole for a can light in the ceiling. So all in all I think this saw is not worth it at all.
Well I recharged it and got another 8 minutes before dying on me.
This item works really well for small jobs, I just wish the battery lasted a little longer. Overall I think it's great for the price. I have two spares, so it's not an issue, but if I didn't have them I can imagine it getting a little frustrating.
All those little jobs that you really don't want to pull out your handsaw and need a little light help. Or pruning a dead branch off a tree. Instead, it's great for cutting a small section of PVC or copper pipe. It'll choke up on a wet 2x4 or horrors a 2x4 with a nail in it. It can only handle small jobs. I have a full power, corded Milwaukee Sawzall reciprocating saw, but it's just too big, too heavy, and too corded for the smaller jobs.
The VPX saw isn't a threat to a Sawzall. The VPX charges well and I'm happy with it since I know its limitations. Or a 1x2 or 1x4 or garden stakes. So don't use it for that.
Great concept, but I was disappointed. Cutting through 5/8 cabinet face was about all it could handle. I bought this saw because it looks very handy; like a jig saw for tight places. Bottom line, this tool is well suited for the uber-scrapbooker, not the construction worker. The saw lacks power, has no variable speed, and has an overall cheap feel about it.
