Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The DeWalt DC9310 heavy-duty charger provides fast, reliable charging of most common batteries, so you can trust that your tools will be ready to go when you need them, and the included battery pack with DeWalt's trademarked NANO Technology is compatible with a full compliment of tools in the DeWalt 18-volt system. This innovative 18-volt battery weighs the same amount as a traditional 12-volt battery, and offers improved run times and a longer overall life--up to 2,000 charges--due to the fact that it has no memory and exhibits almost no unwanted discharge. By reducing downtime and maximizing your team's productivity, an effective charger saves you time and money. And the charger included here works with all 7.2-volt to 18-volt batteries from DeWalt, whether they use NiCd, NiMH, or Li-Ion chemistries (not compatible with Univolt batteries). This means that, no matter how many kinds of tools you have, you only need only one charger to ensure they're ready to go. Plus charging only takes about one hour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Batteries !!!, February 25, 2008

Hawaii Plumber "You can't see my crack....." (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DC9180C 18-Volt Battery Pack/Charger (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought my nano batteries and chargers from a local supplier who had them on sale for $99 which included 1 battery & 1 charger. I bought 3 sets. Definitely worth the money.

These batteries definitely last about 75% longer than a ni-cad and lightens up my tool tray (especially when carrying 3 batteries).
When drilling or cutting overhead, there is a noticable lighter tool feel.
My 18V Dewalt impact driver now weighs the same as my Hitachi 9.6 ni-cad impact driver.

You don't have to keep track of which batteries are at what level of charge because you can always top these off during lunch and at the end of the day.

I'm a plumbing contractor and was able to rough in a steel framed house without dragging out any cords. This house has 7 bathrooms in it.
All I used was 2 drills, 1 recip saw, 1 impact driver, 3 nano batteries, and 1 nicad battery. I had to drill holes anywhere from 1 3/8" all the way up to 4 5/8".

Honestly, I don't give a rats a$$ about the fitment difference between the ni-cad and lithium-ion. Once you start using the tool, you don't even notice it. Talk about being prissy when you are worried about looks.

The different shaped batteries allow me to immediately differentiate between the lithium-ion and the ni-cads. Being that the lithium-ions are smaller, they take up less space in my tool tray also.

4.0 out of 5 stars better battery, but expensive, November 9, 2007

This review is from: DEWALT DC9180C 18-Volt Battery Pack/Charger (Tools & Home Improvement)

I got mine off the 'net at [...]. It works great! A good deal lighter and longer lasting with a interchangable charger that works with older batteries....but new battery will not charge in older chargers so make sure to get the charger.

However. The slight "form factor" dissonance mentioned in other review isn't to my eyes too much of a problem at least on the 6 and half inch circular saw. Or on the finish gun that got me into Dewalt in the first place. Some change of shape is needed to keep the batteries sorted. Considering the price though...that even a 36 volt battery is cheaper...now that's the rub! Glad, though that dewalt followed Ryobi's example and not changed the formfactor so much that new tools would have to purchased...although I heard that there are problems with ryobi's new line....well, it is ryobi! Now, Milwaukee might be as good ...but so damned ugly and hard to handle...who cares?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great battery pack, bad pack design, March 29, 2008

This review is from: DEWALT DC9180C 18-Volt Battery Pack/Charger (Tools & Home Improvement)

This battery pack lasts about 2-3x longer than my current XRP batteries do(and the XRP's last a long time), it is also a little more than one pound lighter than the old batteries which really helps on those long days and when drilling overhead or with your weak hand (for me its left). another nice feature is that the charger is backwards compatible, it works with the old Nicd bateries. The only minor complaint that I have is that the engineers at DeWalt did a horrible job designing the pack, I mean what is the purpose of beveling the bottom edges???? Its only for style and its contributes to the drill's willingness to tip when used with NANO batteries(the XRPs have NO bevel which equals better stability), and IF the beveled edges are a necessity, then they could have put on some rubber overmold or something to help stability. However, if you don't stand your drill up much then it works just fine, I now have a holster I carry mine in(when it won't stay put on the ladder/skylift), works so much better. Overall the performance exceeds the XRPs by quite a bit, if you do alot of overhead drilling then this is a must or if you just don't like charging batteries.
