Batteries die over time and have to be replace though there are a couple of methods available online (for free) to revitalize old batteries. Of the original two I have, one is getting weak and the other one will not hold a charge.I've had no problems charging this new batt with my original charger and it's power seems to be at least 10-15% better than the originals if possible.Will most likely be getting another in the near future. Necessary evil I suppose. I haven't had the chance to try them out but will.I got this new batt to always have a dependable unit available.
i keep several of these in my desk for this purpose. i like to have several on hand so that the work is not slowed, we can put in a new one and keep going. is know where to go to get these batteries and i know they will be in the next day and in good shape. As a purchaser for a maintenance dept, we use DeWalt almost exclusively. when the guys have a battery problem, then is not the time to go looking for a new one. Getting these and getting them in good shape has never been a problem.
I will no longer buy DeWalt products. I am replacing them as they wear out with Makita products which are lighter, cheaper, and the batteries are far better. This has happened with other kits that use the "Same" charger as well. The new charger just killed the old batteries. I bought a drill set with charger, and it worked well enough for a while, but when the drill started getting worn out, I purchased a replacement drill kit. If you use the batteries in different chargers(chargers with the same model number), it will kill the battery. Same model number, thinking I would now have twice as many batteries. Same charger, same model number.
I was worried the battery would be out of date but"new in the pack"Relived to see an aug.2009.Would have liked to have been shipped by ups but arrived before shipping date.Great job Amazon. as always.DEWALT DC9096 XRP 18-Volt 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery
The batteries arrived on time and replaced the old style batteries. I have one of these already so I know they are better than the old style.
