Great replacements good for me

I bought these to replace my old Dewalt NiCD batteries that were junk and expensive. I've had them about a month and only charged them once, when they first arrived. They are very good been used a lot and still showing full power. I can't comment on how long they will last at this point but I have been recommending them to all my friends that need batteries. Very good value for the money and cheaper and better than the original ones.

Pros
  • Batteries were as advertised. Had to use my newer charger. But otherwise good experience.
Cons
  • Some users may prefer the convenience of a single larger battery instead of two smaller ones

Great so far.bought another pair!

Just got these a few hours ago. They arrived half charged.because the led charge indicator told me so. I popped them in the charger for 30 minutes to top them off. Can't do that with NiCad.Then, I put them right to work in my 1/2 Impact Driver changing tires on my Highlander. 20 lug nuts off and 20 lug nuts back on in a matter of 15 minutes. Worked like a charm! Very happy with my purchase and even bought another pair. I have many Dewalt tools that use this battery so they will get used.I…

Pros
  • Fit my DeWalt drill perfectly as well as my original charger. No problem with holding charge
Cons
  • Some users may find the battery to be too bulky or heavy to work with comfortably

Great replacement battery pack

Bought these for my husband for his Dewalt driver and drill. The name brand replacements were very expensive. These have done an amazing job, so far. Charge lasts a long time. 5 Stars from me!

Pros
  • Tools & Home Improvement
Cons
  • The battery may not be as durable as other options on the market

Great value for my opinion

Have bought multiple and have used for months with no issues. Trying to remove from some DeWalt tools are harder than others though.

Pros
  • Just what I was looking for. Charged, used and lasts.
Cons
  • The batteries may not hold up well over time

Lightweight and great power

So lightweight compared to NiCad. After about 15 years running my other two batteries I had to replace them. These batteries have great longevity so far and are legitimately 1/4 of the weight. Makes it quick and easy. Love the battery charge qty indication on the side as well. I used to just get surprised when the battery was used up.

Pros
  • i can use my battery operate hand saw again. The old nicads have just about quit
Cons
  • The overall quality of the batteries may not be as high as other brands on the market

So Far So Good! Lots of POWER!

I haven't had these batteries for very long at all but, the difference from the old Dewalt batteries are very noticable. Actually, I'm still using the one I put in and haven't used the other at all, yet. Just from my usage since they arrived, I would recommend these any day over the original batteries. Immediately MORE POWER! Love that! I've only used one of them for things like normal drilling, and even using it for pumping water out of a sump using a drill pump. Still has plenty of power. No…

Pros
  • Came really quickly. They work great so far. Happy I got them.
Cons
  • Some users may prefer the convenience of using corded power tools instead

Both batteries failed within four months

Both batteries died within four months of purchase. I use the DeWalt standard charger which charges NiCad and Lithiium and which indicated the batteries were charging, as did the indicator on the side of the batteries. And then they died.

Pros
  • More cost-effective alternative to buying a brand new tool
Cons
  • The battery may not be as efficient as other brands on the market

18 volt batteries good for me

Batteries worked OK when they 1st arrived now one of the 2 batteries will not hold a charge and I have not had very long and have not used them very long. I don't know how long the 2nd battery is going to last.

Pros
  • The price
Cons
  • Some users may prefer the convenience of using rechargeable AA or AAA batteries

Great.for a short time

This batteries were a great fix to my Dewalt drill battery problem.UNTIL.they failed. 6 months after the batteries were purchased, neither one is working. The first is completely dead. The second appears to be charged, runs for a few seconds, then dies. Hard to use a drill when your battery dies every few seconds. I'm hopeful the retailer will make this right and exchange my batteries. I would be happy to adjust this review if they do.

Pros
  • Good value for the money and the 4 led's give the batteries a good indication of the battery charge.
Cons
  • The battery connectors may not fit snugly or securely

Seem to be the same as Dewalt's nicads

Delivered promptly and seem--so far--to last as long as the Dewalt Nicads. It would be nice to have Li-Ion available, though.

Pros
  • 30 days money back, 1-year warranty. 24*7 hours prompt customer service. If you have any questions about the replacement dewalt 18v battery, feel free to contact us via order, we'll try our best to give you a satisfactory answer.
Cons
  • The batteries could potentially leak, causing damage to the tool or posing a safety risk

They work for me. - my new review

After 2.5 months of use in various Dewalt tools (drill/drivers, reciprocating saw, and finish nailer, I'm pleased with their performance. I have two Dewalt chargers and noticed one didn't seem to charge the batteries on the first attempt. Since I usually only work one tool at a time, it hasn't been a problem as I rotate them onto the one charger. I will try the second charger again and update. Longetivity is also undetermined as my original Dewalt batteries lasted me for a few years, gradually…

Pros
  • Comparable for entire Dewalt series of 18-volt dewalt batteries tools, Compatible for dewalt batteries: DC9096 DC9098 DE9039 DE9095 DE9096 DE9098 DW9095 DW9096 DW9098. (NOTE: Not compatible with DW9226 charger)
Cons
  • The battery may not be able to hold a charge as well in extremely cold or hot temperatures

Breathe new life into the DEWALT XRP line of drills!

Received these the other day. My initial impression is that these are going to be excellent replacements to the original NiCad. As someone with multiple DeWalt drills using the 18v XRP NiCad battery, I was looking for a cost effective way to continue using these tools which range from a hammer drill to a right angle drill. Lately, I was lucky to get through an hour of work utilizing all 7 of the original batteries!I toyed with the idea of replacing the cells myself, but really didn't want to go

Pros
  • These batteries work just like the original batteries. I do like the battery charge lights.
Cons
  • One batt doesn’t work all the time.

One of two batteries is useless.

One of my two batteries failed to take a re-charge after a single use. DW9116 Charger will not even acknowledge insertion. The other battery, after repeatedly re-charging made it to "four-bars" of charge and operates very well, even in the Arizona heat. 50% satisfied, as stats go.

Pros
  • Better than original DeWalt battery.It is a tight fit in the charger, but works.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for heavy-duty use or long periods of continuous work

Replacement battery

My 83 year old step-dad was lamenting over coffee one day having to buy a new drill because his battery quit taking a charge. He was thrilled when these arrived in his mailbox 2 days later.Like other reviewers it only charged halfway. Take it off and put it back on and it charged up the rest of the way.

Pros
  • Battery charge lasts longer than expected. Very good quality!!
Cons
  • The battery may not have a charge indicator, making it difficult to know when it needs to be recharged

Works grate, and will buy them again.

Works grate. Really like the battery light that tells you how much power you have left when you use them. Built a barn with them and they last a lot longer than my actual dewalt batterys.

Pros
  • Comes with a 1-year warranty
Cons
  • The battery may not be able to sustain a charge for long periods of time

Worth Buying! good for me

I am very impressed with these lithium ion batteries that replaced my old Dewalt Ni-Cd batteries. I’ve been using the same battery with my cordless tools for awhile and it is still going strong. These batteries also hold a full charge when sitting on shelf for months at a time.Note: When buying these batteries to replace your old, Ni-Cd ones, make sure to buy a new charger. A Lithium-ion requires a charger made for that style.

Pros
  • So far, the batteries have worked better than the NiCad batteries that came with the tools.
Cons
  • Could be difficult to charge both batteries at the same time

They WORK! for my opinion

I thought I had a problem with my portable saw. After purchasing these batteries I realized that the problem was with the batteries I had purchased earlier. These solved my problem and hold charge remarkably long. If you need this type battery, purchase these!

Pros
  • Provides a seamless transition from NiCad to lithium batteries
Cons
  • Some users may find that the batteries do not fit snugly into their Dewalt tools

Lasted 4months (2pack) both units fail to charge fully

Over the past year I have bought these aftermarket replacement batteries from two sellers on Walmart. Total of four batteries , still using the OEM DW9116 charger.All batteries have failed within a year .I have taken all of them apart to investigate causes of failure : All have broken solder joints at battery pack interconnect wiring .Conclusion : Plastic Pack mold/casing is poor Spec. Thin fiber paper insulation wrap around battery pack and wiring is loose; consequently under heavy vibration…

Pros
  • Charges faster than a standard NiCad battery
Cons
  • Some users may prefer to use the original Dewalt battery for peace of mind and guaranteed performance

DeWalt 18-volt lithium battery packs

Great product, far superior to the nickel cadmium battery packs they replaced. Fit perfectly and shipped quickly. I recommend!

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • The overall weight of the battery may make it difficult to use effectively

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.

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