Review on 2Pack 6000MAh Li-Ion Replacement Battery For Dewalt 18V XRP Ni-Cad DC9096 DW9098 DE9503 by Robert Byrd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent battery life!

I bought these batteries as direct replacements for the original NiMH units that had worn out.The first project straight away was a loft bed built out of 2x4’s and 2x6’s, which necessitated a lot of screws and the use of a pocket hole jig. Not only did I manage to drill all the holes and install several dozen screws, the battery had nearly 50% capacity remaining at the end of the project!Relative to the original batteries, these have greater capacity, more endurance, and seem to charge quicker. They’re also a lot lighter.The battery status LED on the back of the batteries is a nice touch. It gives a good indication of remaining battery life while you’re mid-project.The original battery charger worked well, but I did notice that to get full charge I had to pull the battery after the charger indicated full. Once I re-inserted into the charger for a little bit longer, it worked fine. Not a dealbreaker.

Pros
  • Can recharge quickly for minimal downtime
Cons
  • The battery may not last as long on jobs that require a significant amount of power
