Customer Reviews

Not thrilled with this product

2008-04-08
I don't know what it is with DeWalt but their batteries are very lackluster. I have a charger with tuneup mode and even so, come about a year later they don't hold a charge. I don't feel good about these things being so "disposable" so to speak so I changed cordless brands and ditched all my dewalt 18v cordless for mostly hitachi. Some things, after years of use I decided were just never going to be that great in a cordless version so I am back to using corded saws for many apps. This battery was very disappointing and for the cost of it, i couldn't in good conscience recommend this battery to anyone.

Great Batteries

If you use your drill often, you have to replace the battery packs periodically. So far, these seem to be of the quality I would expect from DeWalt.

This battery didn't quit meet my Husbands standards for the DeWalt name. Didn't hold a charge like the other batteries he has used. He rated this as a 2 1/2 star item.

Fantastic experience

I wish all my experiences with buying on-line had been this good. This one was tops and the delivery time was actually shorter than what I was told. This experience was fantastic.

Poor service life

My experience with these 18 volt DeWalt 18 volt batteries has been poor to say the least.Spent close to $300.00 for the original drill and battery set and the original batteries stroked out in a very short period of time. just long enough for the battery warranty to have expired.The battery charger worked just fine and was not the fault of the charger. I have had a Skill battery power drill with the original batteries that lasted close to 6 years and cost a fraction of the Dewalt setup. The cost of replacement batteries is outrageous in my opinion. So here is the choice you get faced with either spend another $100 bucks on new batteries or chunk the drill and go to another brand.DeWalt is a big name brand but the quality of the product i bought was very poor.I am sure there are thousands of very satisfied customers out there at a heavy price tag but I am sure there are those of who feel they have gotten their shorts burned off.

DeWalt DC9096-2 18-Volt XRP 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery, 2 Pack
We really like these batteries, my husband uses these in our remodeling business and they are a great help. No long extension cords to contend with. They are great.

Top battery, good price for 2

If you have DeWalt tools, this is the battery pack for you. Two 18V batteries will keep you going for quite a while. These came quickly & the price was right, so this 2-pack is highly recommended.

DeWalt Batteries the Best

2008-06-07
Unlike almost every other manufacturers batteries, DeWalt 18 volt product lasts. I have three Craftsman tools - drill, light, and trim saw - that I no longer use as both batteries failed within a couple of years. I have some DeWalts that have lasted five years and are still trucking.

As expected

The batteries arrived from Amazon days before the estimated delivery date. I ordered the two-pack direct from Amazon (my preferred choice) and the batteries came in a plastic packaged two pack, not taken from another kit as others have expressed. They took a charge and have been working fine for over a week. I have never had a Dewalt battery fail out of the box and anticipate these will live up to their advertised life span.

Additionally, I read several reviews complaining about the price of the battery; agreed, I would love to get these batteries for the price of oh...say Ryobi batteries, but then I could only expect the performance of the tools they drive to be as good as the Ryobi. There is a reason Dewalt tools are tough and put out so much torque. It has a lot to do with the battery. More often than not, you get what you pay for.

I needed replacement batteries for my dewalt tools. I received two batteries for what I could buy them in the local retail store for one.
