Review on Power Up Your Dewalt Tools With Waitley DCB200 20V Max 6.0Ah Lithium Ion Replacement Battery by Mark Bishop

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very fragile plastic battery case is made of.

Short story is the battery plastic is very fragile. The battery shattered rendering the battery useless when my tool with the battery on it, took a 4foot fall on to concrete. Tool still works fine and took no damage, the battery won’t lock on to the tool all the way along with electrical points that contact the tool and wires to the battery cells are now exposed. If you get the battery back on to a tool, it actually works but if you don’t hold the battery the whole time the tool is spinning it falls off. I was very skeptical when I bought the battery but I was feeling cheap and didn’t want to spend the money on a real dewalt battery. I was impressed when I got the Waitley battery. Good power output and power life longevity. I work on semitrailers, and have dropped many of my power tools, up to like 6 feet, and never had anything break. But this batter just shattered when it took the 4 foot drop to the shop floor. I’ll probably buy more, the cost is too good. And battery actually works very well if you don’t abuse your stuff. Just a little shocked on how fragile it was.

Pros
  • Lightweight design reduces user fatigue during extended use
Cons
  • Safety features may be lacking compared to other replacement batteries

Well, I bought the battery to use with a DeWalt cordless router.Probably won''t be using the router much.But the battery was necessary, I just hope it will last a long time.
